This collection process extends the life-span
of the frying oil/fat.
∙ Inserting the frying container:
Place the frying container into the
housing.
∙ Fill amount:
Before heating up, the oil/fat level must be
between the minimum and maximum fi ll
level marks inside the frying container.
Note: The difference between the
minimum and maximum marks is
approx. 900ml.
∙ Types of oil/fat to be used:
Only pure vegetable oil/solidifi ed fat
should be used in this deep fryer. It can
be heated up to 220° C and is neutral
in taste.
Do not mix different kinds of oil/fat.
Oil:
We recommend the use of oil specifi cally
intended for deep-frying, which may be
safely heated to high temperatures. The
maximum safe capacity of the container
is approx. 3 litres. Please observe the
maximum mark.
Solidifi ed fat:
Never melt solidifi ed fat in an empty
fryer. However, solidifi ed fat may be
added straight into the frying container,
if it already contains liquid fat up to the
minimum level mark.
When using solidifi ed fat, approx. 3 kg is
needed. The fat should be cut into smaller
pieces fi rst and melted in a separate pot,
ensuring that it just reaches a liquid state
but is not over-heated: this is to avoid the
danger of burns when pouring the fat into
the frying container afterwards. Please
observe the maximum mark.

Removable heating element
∙ Before the appliance is connected to the
mains, the power cord must be pulled
out to its full length from the storage
compartment, and the heating element
must be fi tted into the corresponding
guide slots at the rear of the unit.
∙ The deep fryer is equipped with a safety
switch; however, it must be operated
only with the heating element and frying
container fi tted.
Frying basket
∙ The basket holds the food to be fried; the
max. capacity is 400 g of French fries.
∙ The handle must be fi tted to the basket
before use: press the two arms together
and slide the two angled pieces through
the support inside the basket. Pull the
handle back until both of the angled
pieces fi t laterally into the indents on the
basket so that they are safely locked.
∙ Once frying is complete, the basket can be
placed on the rim of the container, using
the holding bracket provided; this position
allows the oil/fat to drain back into the
container (see picture).
Using the deep fryer
∙ Fit the frying container and heating
element as described.
∙ Fill the container with oil/fat.
∙ Replace the lid.
∙ Insert the plug.
∙ Select the desired temperature.
∙ As soon as the green indicator lamp lights
up, put the food to be fried into the basket,
remove the lid and lower the basket
carefully into the hot oil/fat.
∙ Replace the lid if necessary.
∙ Monitor the cooking process and, once
frying is complete, lift the basket out and let
