Notes for Use
Useful Hints for Use
-
Oil and fat must be heatable to very high temperatures.
Use high-quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use margarine, olive oil, or butter: they are not fit for frying, because they start to smoke already at low temperatures. -
We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.
CAUTION:
… if you would like to use fat!
-
If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces.
Place it onto the bottom of the frying oil pot. -
Never put the fat into the deep-frying basket!
-
Set the temperature regulator to a low temperature and slowly add the pieces.
-
Once the fat has melted and the required oil level has been reached, you can set the desired temperature on the temperature regulator. Do not exceed the MAX mark!
CAUTION:
Heavy build-up of foam!
- Never mix oils and fats. The liquid may overflow.
- Rub wet food dry with a cloth. Damp food causes a heavy build-up of foam which is serious cases may cause the oil/fat to overflow.
WARNING:
Contaminated oil/fat can be highly inflammable!
-
Always remove any food which may remain in the oil/fat.
-
Replace the oil/fat regularly.
-
Avoid splattering. Fill the basket outside the deep fryer.
-
Only fry inside the deep-frying basket.
-
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. -
When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.
-
The deep-frying basket must not be more than ²⁄³ full. Do not overfill the deep-frying basket.
-
Keep the lid closed during use.
-
The deep-frying temperatures on the front of the deep fryer are guide values. Observe the suggested temperatures on the packaging of the food or in your recipe.
Tips for Avoiding the Acrylamide Content
- Acrylic amide is a chemical compound. It comes from the bronzing process (deep-frying, baking, frying, roasting, and grilling) in foodstuffs high in carbohydrates (starch and sugar) like, for example, potato and cereal products.
- It is suspected that acrylic amide damages genetic makeup and causes cancer. The actual risk to humans is not currently known.
- We recommend that you do not exceed 170 °C when deep-frying.
- Furthermore, we recommend that you keep the frying time as short as possible and fry food to a maximum gold yellow color.
- Thicker chips or pieces of potato are less affected as the acrylic amide is mainly in the outer layer.
- If you make chips from fresh potatoes, you can soak the peeled and chopped pieces of potato for an hour beforehand. This removes some of the sugars (primary substance for acrylic amide) from the outer layers.
Putting into Use
Electrical Connection
- Make sure that the iron voltage (see nameplate) and the line voltage match.
- The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly installed socket with earthing contact.
Connected Wattage
The total power consumption of this appliance can be up
to 1800 W. With this connected load a separate supply line protected by a 16 A
household circuit breaker is recommended.
CAUTION: Overload!
- If you use extension leads, these should have a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².
- Do not use any multiple sockets, as this appliance is too powerful.

-
Fill oil or fat into the frying fat container. (maximum 2.5 liters). The filling level must be located between the MIN and the MAX level.
-
Coat the inside of the viewing window with a little oil to prevent condensation from forming. This allows you to watch the cooking process without opening the lid.
-
Insert the plugin a duly installed protective contact socket. The POWER control lamp lights up.
-
Set the desired temperature on the temperature regulator. The HEATING control lamp lights up.
Then close the lid during the heating-up phase.
NOTE:
Once the set temperature has been reached, the HEATING control lamp goes off. The power control lamp remains on and shows that the appliance is working. -
Now fill the deep-fry basket. Please ensure that the basket is not filled above the hot fat. Open the lid and carefully place the basket with the fried food in the deep-frying fat container
-
Now dose the lid. You can fold down the handle of the deep-frying basket by pushing the button on the handle downwards.
NOTE:
• During the deep-frying process the HEATING control lamp switches on and off several times. This is normal and it indicates that the temperature is controlled by the thermostat and is being maintained.
• The frying times are to be found on the packaging of the food or in the recipe. -
WARNING:
It is possible that hot steam will be released.
Open the lid carefully. -
Now remove the deep-frying basket
