• During deep frying the temperature lamp will light off and on to indicate that the heating ele-ment will maintain its indicated temperature.

• You can now use the deep fryer.

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 ex- tend 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 pro-tective cap (See line drawing)

• Unplug 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.

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

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
