Workplace

Important : Never place this device on or next to hot surfaces (e.g. hot stoves). Only use it on a even, stable and a heat resisting surface. It is important that no inflammable items are near to the device. Do not place the device on the edge of the table so that it cannot be touched by children or fall down when touched.

Fat and oil:
Important: Deep frying fat must be hearable to a high temperature. The smoking point must be at about 220°C.
The food must be put in at a temperature of between 170°C and 190°C.
Deep frying oil is suitable. Never switch deep fat fryer on when empty.
Pour oil into the unheated container.
Cold-pressed and non-hardened oil or fat such as olive oil, wheat oil, linseed oil, pork fat and butter are unsuitable.
Important: Never mix oil and fat because the deep fat fryer may foam over.
It is also dangerous to mix different kinds of oil or fat!
The filling level indicator is inside the container. The MAX filling level may not be exceeded, and the minimum filling level must not be undershot.

Risk of scalding!
Be extremely careful with hot fat, and keep children away.

Assembly of the handle on the frying basket  DF 300

Deep fat frying
Place the prepared food into the frying basket and distribute over the entire surface. Do not place too much food in the fryer. Then slowly immerse the food in the fat. Close the filter lid again. The filter lid provides protection from fat splashes and reduces the smell of fat.
Observe the procedure through the lid window. If the fat foams up excessively, open lid and raise and lower the basket several times by raising and lowering the handle until the foaming subsides.
Caution! Used or contaminated fat or oil can self-ignite if overheated, which is why the oil should be replaced in good time. In the event of a fire, disconnect the plug form the power supply and extinguish burning fat by covering with the lid. Never extinguish using water!

• This information is approximate and depends on the size, the weight and the temperature of the food.

Important Tips:
According the latest knowledge of researchers, following max. temperatures should be obeyed and all foods should be fried max to a gold color:
– 170°C for all potatoes, breaded food and all other starch containing products
– 190°C for meat and poultry with no breading
In opposite to the tips on the packaging of frozen food we advise to defrost the food short before frying to avoid any ice inside the fryer.

After deep fat frying:

Clean the fat:
Residue from the breadcrumb coating or the food should be removed from the frying fat or oil at regular intervals.

• First allow the fat to cool after frying, then carefully pour the fat into a metal pan with handles.
• Coating residue and water in the oil must be removed.
• Clean the frying basket and the pan (see paragraph “Cleaning and care”).
• Hook frying basket into the fryer (draining position, place kitchen paper in basket as a filter).
• Slowly pour the fat back into the fryer through the filter paper.
• Only use the paper fat filter once.

Replace the frying fat if:

• It has turned brown
• It has an unpleasant smell
• Starts to smoke sooner than expected Pour the liquid oil that has not yet fully cooled down into a container with a closure. Used fat and oil should not be poured onto compost or down the drain. If large quantities are being produced, ask your local authority for the location of a collection point.

Practical tips for frying
Dry the food carefully before putting it into the fat, tap superfluous flour, press the breading firmly. Food containing much protein such as fish, poultry, meat and seafood can be fried in the raw if they are well dried. Food containing little protein such as vegetables and fruit should be coated with breadcrumbs or with batter,  hereby the pores close quickly. The crust is also ideal for frying meat, poultry, fish and seafood.

Fondue (only for Aretino. 26-36-00)
When the device is used as a Fondue, remove the lid by pulling the lid upwards.
Put the Fondue ring on the appliance for the Fondue forks.
Leave the frying basket inside the appliance, as the bottom will be not damaged or food which has fallen off can be removed easier from the fat.
You can purchase the fondue ring including forks as an accessory with item number 99-75-00 from Stena Service.
