During the frying process, food particles collect on the botom of the bowl. As the heating element
is arranged below the bowl and heats the oil/fat in the upper area of the deep fat fryer, the oil/fat
between the base and the heating element remains relatively cold (cold zone). This prevents the
food particles in this zone burning and offers the advantage of being able to use the oil or fat
more than once.
Frying with solid fat
We recommend the use of frying oil or liquid frying fat in this deep fat fryer. Solid frying fat can
also be used. In order to prevent fast spatter and the deep fat fryer becoming too hot, the
following precautions should be taken :
• When using fresh fat, allow the blocks of fat to melt slowly on a moderate heat in a normal
frying pan. Carefully for the melted fat into the deep fat fryer. Plug in the mains plug and
switch on the deep fat fryer (see section "frying").
• After use, store the deep fat fryer with the resolidified fat at room temperature. If the
fat is too cold, it can spatter when reheated !
To prevent this happening, poke the solid fat with a fork several times. Take care not to
damage the heating element.
Before frying
• Before using the deep fat fryer for the first time, the individual parts must be cleaned and
dried thoroughly (see section "Cleaning").
• Place the deep fat fryer on a horizontal. Level and stable surface.
• If the deep fat fryer is placed below an extractor hood on the cooker, it must be ensured
that the cooker is switched off.
• Pull the power cord fully out of the cable storage.
• Remove the lid.
• Remove the basket.
• Fold out the handle and attach it carefully to the basket.
• Fill the dry and empty deep fat fryer to the upper mark in the bowl (3 litres oil or 2.5Kg sold
fat) with oil. Liquid or melted solid fat (see sections "Solid frying fat" and Tips").
• Never mix different types of fat or oil !
• Plug in the mains plug.
• The power cord must not come into contact with hot parts of the deep fat fryer.
Frying
• Switch on the deep fat fryer at the on/off switch. The green indicator light will light up.
• Set the thermostat to the required temperature setting. The correct frying temperature is
on the deep-frozen food pack or in the table in three instructions.
• The temperature control light shows red. The oil fat is heated to the required temperature
within 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whilst the deep fat fryeris heating to temperature, the control light will go on and off
several times. The indicator light remains lit as long as heating elements is heating. If the
doesn't light up for some time, the oil or fat has reached the set temperature.
• Only fry the next basket when the indicator light doesn't light up for some time.
• When using oil or liquid fat, the basket can remain in the deep fat fryer whist heating. The
basket can also be left in the deep fat fryerif the fat around the basket solidified.
• Remove the basket from the deep fat fryer and fill the product to be fried.
• Do not exceed the maximum filling quantities specified in these instructions (see table).
• Carefully replace the basket in the deep fat fryer and place the lid on the bowl.
• A view window is provided in the lid to observe the frying process.
