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 commer-
cial purposes.
Any other use of this device is considered to be contrary to the
intended use and may result in damage to materials 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 compart-
ment.
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). Fur-
thermore, 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 condi-
tions 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.
Use
1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched off
(The control lamps are off.).
2. Take the lid off the deep fryer.
3. Remove the frying basket and fill the container with oil or
grease (maximum 3 l). The filling level must be located
between the minimum and the maximum level.
4. Insert the plug into a 230 V, 50 Hz power socket. The red
control lamp lights up. Set the desired temperature by turn-
ing the temperature control (3).
5. The green control lamp lights up. Once the set temperature
has been reached the green control lamp goes off. Place
the frying basket containing the items to be fried carefully
into the hot fat.
6. The green control lamp switches on and off several times
during frying. This is normal and it indicates that the
temperature is controlled by the thermostat and is being
maintained. Once the frying time is over (the frying times are
to be found on the packaging of the food or in the recipe),
please take out the frying basket.
7. Let the oil drip from the food being fried.
8. In order to switch off the machine, please turn the tempera-
ture regulator to MIN and remove the plug from the socket.
Wind the mains lead up in the form of a spiral in the cable
compartment.
