The product is designed only for household use and similar applications (preparing food)!It is not designed for commercial use! It is not designed for outdoor use!
This appliance may not be used by any persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental disabilities, or insufﬁ cient experience or knowledge prevent the safe use of the appliance, unless they are supervised or have been properly trained in the safe use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.
Do not leave the appliance on without supervision and supervise it for the entire time it is frying.
Use the deep fryer only in locations, where there is no danger of it tipping over and at a sufﬁ cient distance from ﬂ ammable objects (e.g. curtains, drapes, wood, etc.), heat sources (e.g. ﬁ re stoves, electric/gas stoves, etc.) and wet surfaces (sinks, wash basins, etc.).
Before connecting to an electric power socket the deep fryer must be correctly assembled and must contain shortening or oil suitable for frying. The frying basket handles must be properly attached so there is no danger of them slipping out during handling.
The deep fryer (heating element) is equipped with thermal overheating protection.
Before ﬁ rst use, wash all parts that will come into contact with food.
Do not carry the appliance when hot, or when it contains hot contents. In the event of it tipping over there is a danger of burn injuries. When handling the appliance use the handles.
Lower the frying basket with food contents slowly into the hot shortening!
Never submerge the control panel, power cord or the body of the deep fryer (even partially) under water and do not wash under running water!
Never use the deep fryer to heat water.
Do not use the independent heating element to heat other liquids (e.g. water) in other containers!
While frying do not touch the sides of the pot, the viewing glass in the lid and places where steam is escaping, this presents a danger of burns and scalding. Watch out for the hot steam coming out when the lid is removed!
Always allow the deep fryer to fully cool down before inserting or removing its parts, or before cleaning it. Never use the deep fryer if any of its parts are damp or wet!
Before frying remove any food packaging (e.g. paper, PE-bags, etc.).
Always use quality oil or shortening recommended by the manufacturer for frying.
Fill the frying shortening or oil only into a dry and cool pot. Before use cut the shortening into smaller cubes. Do not combine mixes of shortening and oil! This will prevent the contents from boiling over!
It is necessary to maintain the level of the frying medium (oil or shortening) between the markings MIN and MAX, to prevent overheating or overﬂ owing.
Always replace the frying medium if it turns brown or if it thickens, has an unpleasant odour or if smoke or froth is emitted when it is heated.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all packaging materials and take out the deep fryer with its accessories. Remove all adhesive foils, stickers or paper from the deep fryer. Before ﬁ rst use clean the parts that will come in contact with food using hot water with detergent, thoroughly rinse with clean water and wipe dry, if necessary allow to dry.
Assembly of the individual parts (pic. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) eta-Fricool-Electric-
Deep-Fryer-with-Removable-Pot-8

Insert the frying pot B into the body A.
Control panel D with the heating element D1 insert into the pot B so that the guiding edges D2 on the control panel slide into the guiding grooves A1 on the body A (an audible click will be heard). If the control panel with the heating element is not correctly attached (inserted), the safety switch D8 will prevent the deep fryer from operating.
Attach the handle C1 to the frying basket C by gently pushing the wires towards each other using your ﬁ ngers and sliding the wires into the metal holders and then insert the bent out ends into the holder openings in the basket. Subsequently with gentle pressure secure the holder in place in the locked position (an audible click will be heard).
Place the lid E on to the pot B so that the ﬁ lter E3 is facing the control panel.
Following the reverse order you may again disassemble/remove all the parts (or if required assemble them).

Overheating protection
The deep fryer is equipped with a safety thermal fuse, which disconnects the heating element if the deep fryer is turned on without a sufﬁ cient amount of oil or without any frying medium at all. If after connecting the deep fryer to the electricity grid it does not work, disconnect it from the grid, remove the control panel and using a suitable tool (e.g. a small screwdriver) press the button D6 (RESET).
Place the assembled deep fryer on an even surface (e.g. kitchen table) at a height of at least 85 cm, out of reach of children, connect the power plug D7 to the electrical grid – indicator lights D4 and D5 will turn on. Pour the frying medium into the pot B up to the mark MAX. Using the control dial D3 set the desired temperature (information about the required temperature is found on the food label or in the table in this user’s manual). Allow the medium to full heat up (approx. 10 minutes). The correct temperature is indicated by the indicator light D5. Slowly place the full basket C into the pot B. Subsequently close the lid E and the deep frying may begin. It is normal for steam to be emitted from the lid during deep frying, this is not a defect. We recommend that you regularly stir the foods while frying to prevent them from sticking together. After ﬁ nishing cooking the food turn the dial D3 to the off position. Remove the lid so that you do not come into contact with hot steam, pull the basket above the level of the frying medium and then hang it in the storage position.
Allow excess oil to drip off the food.

Attention
While heating the thermostat may cycle (the indicator light turns on and off). This is not considered to be a defect.

Preparation of fried foods

It is necessary to dry wet foods that will be fried (e.g. in a towel). Always put spices on foods after frying, do not put on spices above the frying pot or during the course of frying.
Some foods (meat, ﬁ sh) can be battered. When battering pay attention that an even cover is achieved and that excess breadcrumbs are knocked away.
Foods such as doughnuts, etc. can ﬂ oat when being fried in the medium without the basket.
Chickens etc. cut in half. This will prevent subsequent scalding when removing it from the basket.
When frying foods such as French fries, select a higher temperature. On the other hand when frying bulkier foods such as chicken drumsticks or meat balls, select lower temperatures to ensure the foods are evenly fried inside.
You will make the best French fries if you fry them in two stages. Before frying them a second time, allow the French fries to cool down.
Do not place too many foods on top of each other, they could stick together.
Remove excess ice from frozen foods.
When frying foods in several stages, wait until the desired temperature is achieved before frying the next load, the indicator light will turn off.
When frying several food types, start with those that require the lower temperature.
When frying pre-fried foods, use a higher temperature and a shorter frying time than for raw foods.
Do not ﬁ ll the basket more than halfway, otherwise the temperature of the medium will fall and the frying result will not be optimal.

WARNING: When frying foods containing a large amount of water or frozen foods, lower the basket into the medium slowly, this will prevent the frying medium from boiling over.

After every frying session
We recommend that you ﬁ lter or strain the lukewarm medium and transfer to an appropriate container, close the container and store in the refrigerator – this will prevent the formation of unwanted compounds.
WARNING: The hot frying medium will melt a plastic bottle, which presents a hazard!

Please consider the following cooking tips as examples and as inspiration. Their purpose is not to be a guide, but to demonstrate the possibilities of various food preparation methods. Generally, it is recommended to use lower temperatures for brittle foods (vegetables, ﬁ sh) and higher temperatures for frozen foods (French fries, chicken, etc.). Cooking times are in the range of several minutes. eta-Fricool-Electric-Deep-Fryer-with-Removable-
Pot-7

Removing unpleasant odours
Some foods (e.g. ﬁ sh) can give the frying medium an unpleasant odour. This odour may be neutralised using the following method:

heat the frying medium to a temperature of 160 °C,
place a few shoots of parsley or two slices of bread into the medium,
wait until “bubbles” stop forming, then using a suitable utensil remove the parsley or bread. The frying medium will now have a neutral taste.

Filtration or replacement of oil
It is not necessary to replace the oil after every use. If you fry mainly potatoes and ﬁ lter the oil, it is possible to reuse it 8-10x. Do not use the same oil longer than 6 months. To carry out the ﬁ ltration or replacement proceed as follows:

Disconnect the deep fryer from the electricity grid
pour the fully cooled oil out of the pot B into another container with a suitable volume capacity
wash and thoroughly dry the pot B
pour the oil back through an appropriate ﬁ ltration paper

MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance disconnect the appliance from the power grid by pulling out the plug on the power cord from the el. socket and allow it to cool down! After each use wipe the outer surfaces with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive and aggressive cleaning agents and metal tools, which could scratch the surface during cleaning. Every time the medium is poured out remove any remains of fat or remains from previous frying that have stuck to the heating element D1. Wash all other parts (cover, pot, basket, handle, lid) in hot water with dish-washing detergent, and then rinse out with clean water and allow it to fully dry (you may use a dishwasher). Never dry plastic moulded parts above a heat source (e.g. ﬁ re stoves, electric/gas stoves, etc.). It is normal for the colour of the surface to change over time. This change in no way changes the properties of the surface and is not a reason for complaint about the appliance! Wipe the power cord D7 with a cloth. Store the appliance thoroughly cleaned in a dry, dust-free location that is out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.
Removing the ﬁ lters (E3)
Pull gently to remove the cover from the lid E. Remove the ﬁ lter E3 from the lid. Wash the ﬁ lter in lukewarm water with standard detergent and allow it to dry thoroughly. When dry, place back into the lid. Insert the lugs on the cover into the openings in the lid and click the cover shut.
