Timer; Solid Cooking Fats; After Frying; Changing The Frying Oil Or Fat - Silvercrest KH 2001 Operating Instructions Manual

Timer

You can programme in a countdown of up to 60 mi-
nutes with the timer:
• Firstly, place the timer q at 60 minutes and then
turn it back to the required countdown time. On
expiry of the countdown a signal tone sounds.
Note:
On expiry of the countdown the heating element 5
is NOT switched off! Therefore pay heed to the
signal tone from the timer switch, so as to avoid
spoiling the food being fried.

Solid Cooking Fats

To avoid both a splattering of the fats and the ap-
pliance becoming too hot, please observe the fol-
lowing precautionary measures:
• If you are using fresh fats, first slowly melt the
blocks of fat under low heat in a normal pan.
Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep
fryer. When this has been done, insert the power
plug into a socket and switch the deep fryer on.
• After use, store the deep fryer with the solidified
fat at room temperatures.
Should the fat become too cold, it could cause splat-
tering on remelting! To avoid this, poke a few holes
into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic spatula.
Ensure that no damage is caused to the heating ele-
ment.
• To melt the fat, switch the appliance on with the
On/Off switch 0 and then adjust the temperature
regulator 8 to 130˚C. The control lamp 9
glows.
• Wait until all of the fat has melted. First then set
the desired frying temperature.

After Frying

• When the food is ready, pull the handle upwards
until the handle locking button w engages.
• Leave the frying basket 3 in this position to drip
off.
• Press the On/Off switch 0. The deep fryer is
now switched off. Remove the power plug from
the wall socket.
• When the food has dripped off, open the ap-
pliance lid by pressing the lid release button 6.
• Carefully lift the frying basket 3 out of the deep
fryer. If necessary, shake off any excess oil or fat
over the deep fryer.
• Tip the fried food into a bowl or a sieve (lined
with absorbent kitchen paper!)
If you do not use the deep fryer regularly it is re-
commended that, after cooling, the oil or liquified
fat is poured into a well sealed container and stored in
the refrigerator or a cool storeroom. Fill the contai-
ner through a sieve, in order to remove any food
particles from the oil or fat. Solid fats must still be in
a liquid state so that they can be poured.

Changing the frying oil or fat

Change the oil first when it has completely cooled
down. Solid fats must still be in a liquid state so that
they can be poured.
• Open the appliance lid.
• Remove the frying basket 3.
• Remove the operating/heating element 5.
Place the operating/heating element 5 at a
clean and dry location.
• Carefully remove the stainless steel container
4 with the oil or fat from the deep fryer.
