from the A1 drip tray mechanism after pressing the safety button (latch A5),
located under the A4 cover. Then slide the container back in the opposite
direction and slide the A4 cover to prevent accidental pressing of the A5
latch.

deep fryer is switched on, after repeated pushing the set function is
activated; after pushing during the operation, the running function is
interrupted

set
B7 – temperature increase – after short pushing, the temperature is
increased by 5 °C, after long pushing, the increase speeds up

Scope of temperature setting 80–200 °C, time 0–60 min.
Frying
Place the assembled fryer on a flat surface (e.g. kitchen table) at the height
of at least 85 cm, out of reach of children. Fill the container with the
desired ingredients (observe the maximum amount marked with the MAX line) and
assemble the whole fryer properly. Connect the plug of the A7 power cable to
the mains. All symbols light up shortly. They subsequently fade away and only
the B1 button symbol remains lighted up. By pushing button B1, the pre-set
temperature of 180 °C lights up on the display and it alternatively changes at
pre-set times of 15 minutes. Confirm this setting by repeated pushing of
button B1 or set different parameters and confirm them by pushing button B1
again. During the course of the function the temperature and time may be
changed. Termination of the function is accompanied by an audible signal. The
heater switches off, but the fan still runs for a few moments to ventilate.
Note By taking the frying pot out, the appliance functioning is interrupted. After reinserting the pot, the set function will NOT continue. To continue the function, press the MODE button (B2)
After frying, use the handle to carefully pull out the A2 container with ingredients and leave to cool down for a while. Depending on the nature of the cooked ingredients, pour out any liquids from the A1 drip tray.

Note
Some ingredients require stirring or shaking during cooking. However, never
press the locking latch of the handle – it only serves to deliberately pull
out the A2 container from the A1 drip tray. At the same time, do not turn or
tilt the container excessively when shaking, the drip tray may contain hot
liquid.
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.
Wipe the outer casing with a damp cloth. Wash both containers in hot water with detergent, then rinse with clean water and allow to dry sufficiently (do not use the dish washer). If necessary, gentle decreasing agents can be used on these parts. Carefully wipe the inside of the fryer base using a damp cloth or a non-abrasive cleaning sponge. If necessary, remove residual dirt from the heater using a cleaning brush.
Never dry plastic moulded parts above a heat source (e.g. fire 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 A7 with a cloth. Store the appliance thoroughly cleaned in a dry, dust-free location that is out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.
ECOLOGY
