Important Tips:
According the latest knowledge of researchers, following max. temperatures should
be obeyed and all foods should be fried max to a gold colour:
170°C for all potatoes, breaded food and all other starch containing products
190°C for meat and poultry with no breading
In opposite to the tips on the packaging of frozen food we advise to defrost the food
short before frying to avoid any ice inside the fryer.
After frying:
Remaining of breading or other food should be removed from the oil regularly.
∙ The fat should be cooled down after frying. Them the fat should be poured into
a bowl. After that the fryer and the basket should be cleaned. Put a coffee filter
paper into the basket and put the basket into the fryer and pour the fat slowly into
the filter.
∙ At fish or meat the oil can be used 5-10times. When potatoes are used the fat can
be used longer.
Attention: Old or dirty fat can be inflamed when it is overheated, therefore it must
be exchanged on time. In case of fire, pull the plug out of the socket and extinguish
the fire by closing the lid. Never use water to extinguish the fire!
Always exchange the oil when it smells strange, is dark brown or starts smoking at
low temperatures.
After deep fat frying:
Clean the fat
Residue from the coating or the food should be removed from the frying fat or oil
at regular intervals. Any contamination or water is deposited in the "Cool Zone"
beneath the heating elements and will not combust.
∙ First allow the fat to cool after frying, then carefully pour the fat into a metal pan
with handles.
∙ Coating residue and water in the oil must be removed.
∙ Clean the frying basket and the pan (see paragraph "Cleaning and care").
∙ Hook frying basket onto fryer (draining position, place kitchen paper in basket as a
filter).
∙ Slowly pour the fat back into the fryer through the filter paper.
∙ Only use the paper fat filter once.
If the fat has taken on a little taste, this can be improved by setting the temperature
to just below 150°C and putting a handful of spinach leaves, parsley, lettuce leaves or
2 potatoes that have been peeled, sliced and well dried into the hot fat and leaving
them to brown. Remove and throw away the vegetables.
