getting rid of unwanted flavours
Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant flavour. To neutralise the
taste of the oil or fat:
1 Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160°C.
2 Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil.
3 Wait until no more bubbles appear and then scoop the bread or the parsley out of the fryer
with a spatula.
The oil or fat now has a neutral taste again.
Home-made French fries
You make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way:
1 Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water.
This prevents them from sticking to each other during frying.
Note: Dry the sticks thoroughly.
2 Fry the French fries twice: the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160°C, the
second time for 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 175°C.
Let the French fries cool down before you fry them for the second time.
3 Put the home-made French fries in a bowl and shake them.
Cleaning
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone
to clean the appliance.
1 Open the lid (Fig. 2).
2 Let the oil or fat cool down for at least 4 hours before you clean or move the fryer.
3 Pull the lid upwards to remove it (Fig. 14).
4 Lift the frying basket out of the fryer (Fig. 10).
5 Pour out the oil or fat (Fig. 15).
PreClean function
This appliance is equipped with a PreClean function, which allows you to soak the inner bowl with
hot water and washing-up liquid to make cleaning easier.
Make sure you have removed the oil or fat from the inner bowl before you use this function.

washing-up liquid. (Fig. 16)
2 Put the plug in the wall socket.
3 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 7).
4 Set the temperature control to the PreClean function. (Fig. 8)
