surfaces can get hot when the deep
fryer is in use.
• Make sure your hands are dry before
you touch the appliance.
• Do not move the appliance when the
power is on, when the housing is still
hot or when the oil or liquid fat is still
hot.
• Clean the appliance and accessories.
See "Cleaning and servicing".
SPATTERS
The deep fryer has a 'cold zone'. This zone
is located in the bottom of the appliance.
The 'cold zone' is a zone into which
the larger bits of food sink. The lower
temperature in this zone prevents the bits
of food from burning.
Deep fryers with a 'cold zone' are sensitive
to water, because the heating element is
immersed in oil or liquid fat. There are
various ways in which water can come into
contact with the oil or liquid fat:
• A lot of food naturally contains water.
This applies especially to potatoes.
• Condensation from hot steam.
• Frozen food can contain ice particles.
• The food was not dried properly after it
was washed.
• The removable tank was not properly
dried after it was cleaned.
• The wrong type of oil or liquid fat is
used. See General Tips.
If water comes into contact with hot
oil or liquid fat, there could be excessive
spattering, foaming or even overflowing.
• Try as far as possible to prevent water
from coming into contact with the hot oil
or liquid fat as a result of one of
the above mentioned causes.
• Change the oil or liquid fat regularly.
USE
• Fill the removable tank with oil or liquid
fat. Make sure that the level of the oil
or liquid fat is between the minimum
and maximum markings on the tank.
• Insert the plug into the socket at this
point, and not before.
• The appliance is switched on by
turning the thermostat to the
desired temperature. The temperature
can be set between 150°C and 190°C.
Please refer to the food packaging
for the desired temperature and cooking
time. See General Tips for guidelines on
selecting the right temperature.
• While the appliance is on, the
temperature light will go on and off.
The appliance is fitted with a thermostat
which keeps the oil or liquid fat at the
desired temperature. The temperature
indicator light will remain on while the
deep fryer heats the oil or liquid fat. The
temperature indicator light will go off
once the oil or liquid fat has reached the
desired temperature.
• Allow the appliance to preheat for
approximately 15 minutes with the oil or
liquid fat at the desired temperature.
• Put the food in the basket and
subsequently place the basket in the
appliance. Be extra careful and watch
out for spatters. The lid is intended for
use as a dust lid only. It should be
used to protect the oil-filled pan from
dust during storage. Do not use the
lid while the fryer is in use. It will
become extremely hot and cause
condensation to drip into the oil.
• Check regularly whether the level of the
oil or liquid fat is between the minimum
and maximum markings on the tank.
Do not put too much food in the basket.
If necessary, add oil or liquid fat.
As soon as the food is done:
• Shake the basket using the handle to
remove excess oil or liquid fat.
12
• Leave the basket to rest for a while on
the hook of the removable tank to
remove excess oil or fat.
• Empty the basket on a plate or dish, or
similar, using the handle.
• Switch the appliance off after using it,
unplug it and wait for the appliance to
cool down.
• When the appliance is not being used,
store it in a dry place.
• Make sure that children do not have
access to stored appliances.

GENERAL TIPS

• Only use oil or liquid fat. The appliance
is not suitable for solid fat.
• Use a vegetable oil, such as ground nut
oil, corn oil or soya oil for the most
tasty results.
• For the healthiest results, thaw the
food before use and frequently replace
the oil or liquid fat.
• Deep-fry precooked chips only once.
• To prevent poor frying results, do not
place too much food in the basket.
• Always replace the oil or liquid fat
after deep-frying raw food such as
chicken legs.
• After using the deep fryer, sift the
food remains from the oil or liquid fat.
It will keep the oil or liquid fat fresh
much longer.
• Always pre-fry fresh chips. Deep-fry
the chips approx. 5 10 minutes at
170°C. Shake the chips loose and leave
them to cool in a dish for a short while.
Then deep-fry the chips again approx.
02-4 minutes at 175°C.

HOW TO RESET THE APPLIANCE
The deep fryer can be reset as follows if
the appliance doesn't work. The cause is
often the use of solid fat or too little oil.
The overheating protection switches the
heating element off when this occurs. The
safety system can be restored as follows:
• Press the reset button at the back of
the electric operating panel with the
reset pen to reset the appliance.
• Check whether the operating panel
is securely fastened to the baseboard
on the housing. The deep fryer has a
safety switch that switches off the
heating element when it is not properly
fixed to the pan.
