Never use the same oil longer than 6 months and always follow the instructions on the
package.

Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.

Never mix different types of oil or fat.

Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or
taste or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
Disposing of used oil or fat
Pour used oil or liquid fat back into its original (resealable) plastic bottle.You can dispose of used fat
by letting it solidify in the fryer (without the basket in it) and subsequently scooping it out of the
fryer by means of a spatula and wrapping it in a newspaper. If applicable, you can put the bottle or
newspaper in the bin for non-compostable waste (not in the compostable waste bin) or dispose of
it in accordance with the regulations in your country.
Storage
1 Put all parts back into/onto the fryer and close the lid.
2 Roll up the cord, put it into the cord storage compartment and insert the plug in the plug
fixing facility (fig. 17).
3 Lift the fryer by its handles.
Frying tips
For an overview of preparation times and temperature settings, see the table at the end of these
instructions for use.
Home-made French fries
You will make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way:
1 Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water.
This will prevent them from sticking to each other during frying.
Dry the sticks thoroughly.
B
2 Fry the French fries twice: the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160cC, the
second time for 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 175cC.
3 Put the home-made French fries in a bowl and shake them. Let the fries cool down before
frying them for the second time.
Frozen food
Frozen fries have already been precooked, so you will only have to fry them once in accordance
with the instructions on the package.
Food from the freezer (-16 to -18cC) will cause the oil or fat to cool down considerably when it is
immersed in it. Because the food does not sear right away, it may also absorb too much oil or fat.
Take the following measures to prevent this:
- Preferably allow frozen food to defrost at room temperature before frying, unless stated
otherwise on the package of the food to be fried.
- Carefully shake off as much ice and water as possible and dab the food to be fried until it is
properly dry.
