SPECIFICATIONS

Subject to technical changes without prior notice.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. First, remove the packaging. Then, lift the lid of the deep fryer. Inside the deep fryer, there is a frying basket. Remove all the objects from the deep fryer.
   Assemble the fryer basket handle correctly.
   • Hold the handle and squeeze the handle ends together.
   • Place the handle ends in the small holes near the bottom of the fryer basket and release your grip.
   • Pull the handle toward the basket wall until it clicks into place.

2. It is highly recommended to clean the lid, oil pot, and frying basket according to the CLEANING AND MAINTAINANCE section of this instruction manual before first use.

3. Pull the connecting cable out of the cable compartment.

4. Make sure that the voltage (see nameplate) matches the voltage of your mains electricity.

5. The mains plug should only be inserted into a properly installed and earthed 220-240V 50/60Hz socket.

6. The total power consumption of this appliance can reach 2200 W. With this connected load, a separate supply line protected by a 10 A household circuit breaker is recommended.

Take care not to overload the appliance

• If you use an extension cord, it must have a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 mm2.
• Do not use multiple sockets for this appliance as this may lead to overloading.

Overheating protection

• If you accidentally switch on the deep fryer when it contains no oil or fat or if the temperature becomes too high during the frying process, the overheating protection (safety switch) will turn on automatically. Should this happen, then the appliance cannot be used and must be unplugged.
• Once the appliance has cooled down completely, press the RESTART button on the rear of the control element to restart the deep fryer. The  RESTART button must be pressed with a plastic or wooden object that is the least 4 cm long.

TIPS FOR USE

1. Always remove any food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of French fries). After using the appliance several times, you should change the oil. The use of high-quality frying oil or frying grease is recommended.

2. Fats and oils must be heated to high temperatures. Do not use margarine, olive oil, or butter as these fats are not suitable for frying and will start to smoke at low temperatures. The use of liquid frying oil is recommended.
   WARNING: If you use fat, first cut it into small pieces. Turn the thermostat to a low temperature and slowly add the pieces. Once the fat has melted and the correct oil level has been reached, you may set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Under no circumstances should you place the fat directly into the deep frying basket.

3. In order to reduce the acrylamide content in starches (potatoes, cereals), the temperature during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170 °C (or 175  °C). Furthermore, the frying time should be as short as possible or until the food turns golden brown.

4. Please note that the safety switch turns on when the control element is inserted into the guiding mechanism.

5. Choose the right frying temperature and check the condition of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb is that pre-cooked foods require a higher temperature than raw foods.

6. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still hot.

7. When frying dough-like foods, scrape off the excess dough and place the pieces carefully into the oil.

8. The deep frying basket must not be more than 2/3 (two-thirds) full. Do not overfill the frying basket.

9. Dry damp foods with a cloth before frying.
   CAUTION: Ingredients that are too moist (e.g. frozen chips) may generate large amounts of foam, which can cause the oil to overflow.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched off and that the control lamps are off.

2. Open the lid of the deep fryer.

3. Remove the frying basket and fill the container with oil or grease (MAX. 3 L). The level of the oil must be between the minimum and maximum levels.

4. Insert the plug into a 220-240V 50/60Hz power socket. The red control lamp will switch on. Set the desired temperature by turning the thermostat. The green control lamp will switch on.

5. Once the set temperature has been reached, the green control lamp will switch off. Carefully place the frying basket containing the items to be fried into the hot oil.

6. The green control lamp will switch on and off several times during the frying process. This is normal and indicates that the temperature is being controlled and maintained by the thermostat. Once the frying time has elapsed (the frying times can be found on the food packaging or in the recipe), please remove the frying basket.

7. Let the oil drip from the fried food.

8. To switch off the machine, turn the thermostat to the OFF position and remove the plug from the socket. Coil the mains lead and store it in the cable compartment.
