Useful hints for use
1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g.
pieces of French fries). Change the oil after using it
8-10 times.
2. Deep frying fat must be capable of being heated
to high temperatures. Use high quality frying oil
or frying grease. Do not use margarine, olive oil or
butter: they are not fi t for frying, because they start
to smoke already at low temperatures. In order to
reduce the acrylamide content of food containing
starch (potatoes, cereals) the temperature during
deep-fat frying should not exceed 170° C (or possibly
175° C). Furthermore, the frying time should be kept
as short as possible and the food only fried until it
turns golden yellow.
3. Choose the right frying temperature and check the
conditions of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb
is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature
than raw foods.
4. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or
grease is still hot.
5. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess
dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.
6. Do not overfi ll the frying basket.
7. Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before frying.

Using the unit

Deep-Fat Frying
1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and
switched off .
2. Open the lid.
3. Remove the frying basket and fi ll the container with
oil or grease (maximum 1.2 l). The fi lling level must
be located between the minimum and the maximum
level.
NOTE:
If you use fat, divide it up into small pieces and
place it on the fl oor of the deep frying vessel.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should you place the fat in
the deep frying basket!
4. Close the lid. Insert the plug into a properly installed
230 V, 50 Hz power socket. The „POWER" control
lamp lights up.
5. Adjust the temperature control device to the desired
temperature. The „HEAT" control lamp lights up. Once
the set temperature is reached, the LED switches off .
6. Now fi ll the deep-fry basket. Please ensure that the
basket is not fi lled above the hot fat.
7. Open the lid and fi ll the frying basket with the food
to be fried.
8. Close the lid.

9. At the end of the frying time (the frying time is
specifi ed on the package of the food or in the recipe)
open carefully the lid (Warning! Hot steam may be
released!). Now remove the deep-fat frying basket
with the handle.
10. Let the oil drip from the food being fried.
Fondue
CAUTION:
The device is not suitable for making cheese or choco-
late fondue. These ingredients could burn or boil over
in the deep-fat frying vessel.
1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and
switched off .
2. Remove the lid.
3. Remove the frying basket and fi ll the container with
oil or grease (maximum 1.2 l). The fi lling level must
be located between the minimum and the maximum
level.
NOTE:
If you use fat, divide it up into small pieces and
place it on the fl oor of the deep frying vessel.
4. Put the fork holder in place.
5. Insert the plug into 230 V, 50 Hz power socket. The
„POWER" control lamp lights up.
6. Adjust the temperature control to approx. 130°C. The
„HEAT" control lamp lights up. Once the set tempera-
ture is reached, the LED switches off .
NOTE:
With a wooden stick (e.g. shashlik spit or wooden
cooking spoon) you can test whether the correct
temperature has been reached. When this is in-
serted into the oil, small air bubbles should rise up
along the wooden stick. Alternatively, you can place
a piece of the food to be fried into the hot oil. If
bubbles are formed, the frying fat has reached the
right temperature.
7. Place the pieces of meat on the fondue forks and
then dip them into the oil. Depending on the size of
the meat pieces, the cooking process takes between 4
and 7 minutes, i.e. the smaller the pieces of meat or
other food are, the faster they are cooked.
WARNING:
Place the ingredients carefully into the hot oil. Care
is required as you are frying in an open vessel and
it is not possible to avoid oil splashes. Dry off the
ingredients beforehand with a cloth.
8. Adjust the temperature with the regulator such that
the oil simmers.
