SEVERIN FR 2431 Instructions For Use Manual page 14

Thermal safety cut-out
Should the oil/fat level fall below the safe
level for operation, the integral thermal
safety cut-out will be activated and
the heating element is switched off. If
this occurs, allow sufficient time for the
appliance to cool down, then add the
required amount of oil/fat. Use the reset
button on the rear of the housing below the
control panel to reset the safety cut-out.
Push the button in with a suitable wooden
or plastic rod. The appliance is now ready
for use again.
Should the safety cut-out be activated
repeatedly despite a sufficient amount of
oil/fat in the frying container, the appliance
must no longer be used; please have it
examined by a qualified person before it is
used again.
Before using for the first time
Before first use, the unit should be cleaned
as described in General care and cleaning
Lid
Always use the lid handle when taking off
or replacing the lid.
Inspection window
The inspection window is helpful when
monitoring the frying process. To prevent
condensation from water vapour, a little
oil should be applied to the inside of the
window.
Temperature control
The temperature control is used to select
the desired temperature level
14
Indicator lamps
The red indicator lamp is on while the
appliance is heating up.
The green indicator lamp lights up on once
the pre-set temperature level has been
reached.
Frying container
The recess below the heating element acts
as a cooling area where residual particles
resulting from the frying process, as well
as other impurities, are collected. The
circulation of the oil/fat results in a lower
temperature level around the recess area.
This collection process extends the life-
span of the frying oil/fat.
∙ Inserting the frying container:
Place the frying container into the
housing.
∙ Fill amount:
Before heating up, the oil/fat level
must be between the minimum and
maximum fill level marks inside the
frying container.
Note: The difference between the
minimum and maximum marks is
approx. 900ml.
∙ Types of oil/fat to be used:
Only pure vegetable oil/solidified fat
should be used in this deep fryer. It can
be heated up to 220° C and is neutral
in taste.
Do not mix different kinds of oil/fat.
Oil:
We recommend the use of oil
specifically intended for deep-frying,
which may be safely heated to high
temperatures. The maximum safe
capacity of the container is approx. 3
