Power supply line connection

Attention: The power supply lines should be connected by authorized technician.

Operation

• Disconnect the power from the mains.
• Fill the container with oil or hydrogenated oil un-til the MAX line.
  Note! Solid fats must be preheated before filling, this avoids burnt fat and overloading (See "Solid Fat").
• Connect the internal wires of the power cord to a suitable electrical supply outlet. (See --> power supply line connection)
• Turn on the appliance by using the green on/off button on the operating panel. The green lamp in the switch will light.
• Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The orange lamp will light.
• When the set temperature is reached, the orange lamp goes out.
• During deep frying the temperature lamp will light off and on to indicate that the heating element will maintain its indicated temperature.
• You can now use the deep fryer.

NOTE: It is normal that the relais sounds the ON/ OFF sound during operation.

Deep-frying

The deep fryer is designed with a unique cold zone to allow crumbs and residue to sink to the bottom this also enables the usable life of the fat/oil to extend considerably.

Regularly check if there is sufficient oil or fat in the container. The level should never be below the MIN line.

RESET the Hi-limiter (thermal cut-out)

Please note that the RESET button is located at the bottom of the detachable control panel with a protective cap (See line drawing)

• Disconnect the deep fryer from the electrical outlet first.
• Allow the deep fryer to completely cool down.
• Remove the detachable control panel from the support.
• Unscrew the black protective cap of the RESET button.
• Press the RESET button of the Hi-limiter (thermal cut-out). You should hear a click sound.
• Screw back the protective cap on the RESET button.
• Reinstall the detachable control panel on the support.

Deep frying tips

• Preferably use only liquid frying oil or liquid frying fat.
• The recommended temperature for frying chips and snacks is 175°C max.
• Remove ice and crumbs from frozen foods.
• Do not deep-fry too much at one time. This can cause the oil or fat to cool down too much. Cooled down oil/fat does not properly sear the surface of the food, so that more fat will be absorbed. When used intensively, crumbs and other debris should be filtered out of the oil/fat.
• Replace oil or fat in time. Use test strips or test equipment regularly to track when oil/fat should be replaced.
• Before oil starts to foam, smoke or gets too vis-cous you should replace it. Also replace the oil/fat when it has a strong smell or taste.
• Do not mix fresh oil with used oil.

Solid Fat

• If you use against our advice solid fat anyway: heat the oil slowly in the lowest position until melted. When the fat has melted you can set the proper frying temperature.
• When using solid fat, allow the blocks of fat to melt slowly on a moderate heat in a normal frying pan. Carefully pour the melted fat into the deep fat fryer. Plug in the mains plug and switch on the deep fat fryer.
• Remove the deep frying basket after use from the fat. This prevents the basket becoming stuck in the solidified fat.

After use

• Turn off the appliance by switching off the switch mains.
• Do not move the deep fryer until it and its con-tents have cooled down.
• Put the lid on the deep fryer, so that the fat does and disconnecting the electrical parts from the not age.
