Intended Use
This device is used for deep-frying food.
It is intended exclusively for this purpose and may only
be used as such. It may only be used in the manner
described in these instructions for use. The device must
not be used for commercial purposes.
Any other use of this device is considered to be contrary
to the intended use and may result in damage to materi-
als or even personal injury.
The firm ETV Elektro-Technische Vertriebsgesellschaft
mbH does not accept any liability for damage caused as
a result of the use of this device contrary to its intended
use.
Putting into use
Before using for the first time
1. Remove the packaging. Then take the lid off the deep
fat fryer. In the deep fat fryer you will find a frying
basket. Take all objects out of the fryer.
2. It is highly recommended to clean the lid, casing,
container and frying basket as described in Cleaning.
3. Please pull the connecting cable out of the cable
compartment.
Electrical connection
• Make sure that the iron voltage (see name plate) and
the line voltage match.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a cor-
rectly installed 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket with earthing
contact.
Connected Wattage
The total power consumption of this device can be up
to 2000 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 mm
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this device is
too powerful.

Useful hints for use
1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g.
pieces of French fries). After the device has been used
several times you should change the oil.
Use high quality frying oil or frying grease.
2. Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures.
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.
WARNING: DANGER!
• It is essential to change the fat / oil regularly.
• Do not use any frozen food containing ice!
• If food containing too much moisture (e.g.
chips containing a lot of ice etc.) is used, there
is a strong tendency to form foam, which in
the worst case may cause the hot fat / oil to
overflow and result in injuries.
3. In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food
containing starch (potatoes, cereals) the temperature
during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170° C (or
possibly 175° C). Furthermore, the frying time should
be kept as short as possible and the food only fried
until it turns golden yellow.
4. Please note that the safety switch (4) is operated
when the control element is inserted into the guide
mechanism.
5. 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.
6. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is
still hot.
7. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess
dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.
8. Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying
basket has been correctly attached.
• Press the ends of the wire together at the free
end of the handle.
• Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the
basket.
• The deep fat frying basket must not be more than
2/3 full. Do not overfill the frying basket.
9. Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before frying.
CAUTION:
In the case of foodstuffs which are too moist (e.g.
frozen chips etc.) large amounts of foam may form,
which under certain circumstances may cause the
oil to overflow.
