Oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or fat and never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
- We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. Preferably use vegetable oil or fat that is rich
in unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunflower oil.
- Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you have to change the oil or
fat regularly (after 10-12 times).
- Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste
or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
solid fat
You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from
spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
1 If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
2 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3 Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
4 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when it melts. Punch some holes into the
resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this (Fig. 5).
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.
using the appliance
1 Take the entire cord from the cord storage compartment and put the plug in the wall

The temperature light goes on (Fig. 8).
,
3 Set the temperature control to the required temperature (see the package of the food to be
fried or the food table at the end of this booklet).
4 Wait until the temperature light goes out (this takes 10 to 15 minutes).
5 Fold out the handle of the frying basket (Fig. 9).
6 Open the lid (Fig. 2).
7 Remove the basket from the fryer and put the food to be fried in the basket (Fig. 10).
Do not fry very large quantities at one time. Do not exceed the quantities mentioned in the food
table at the end of this booklet ( - indicates the recommended quantity).
8 Put the basket on the bracket, but do not lower it into the oil or fat yet (Fig. 11).
9 Close the lid.
10 Press the button on the basket handle and fold the handle against the fryer. The basket is
automatically lowered into the oil or fat. (Fig. 12)
During frying, the temperature light comes on and goes out from time to time to indicate that the
heating element is switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature.
