Danger of splashes!
To avoid splashes or foaming of the fat only use food which is not too wet (dry the
food with cloth, remove ice from the food etc.). Insert the food slowly into the fryer.
If the fat is foaming excessively, lift the basket several times. Never carry the fryer
when there is hot oil inside. Danger of burns! Always cool down the fryer before
moving it. Parts of the appliance, e.g. the upper edge of the oil tank or the steam
escaping from the fryer can be very hot. Take care that nobody can rip at the power
cord and pull the appliance from the table (especially children). To avoid this attach
the power cord, e.g. to the leg of the table.
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.

dishwashing detergents. Dry the parts well afterwards and make sure that there
isn't any water in the lid.
∙
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
∙
Warning: Keep away the heating element from water! Do not deform or damage
the temperature sensors which are installed at the heating element. Wipe the
heating element and the surface of the housing with a damp cloth.

Put together the appliance after cleaning and make sure that the heating element
is thoroughly clipped; otherwise the appliance does not work.
Practical tips for frying
Dry the food carefully before putting it into the fat, tap superfluous flour, press
the breading firmly. Food containing much protein such as fish, poultry, meat and
seafood can be fried in the raw if they are well dried. Food containing little protein
such as vegetables and fruit should be coated with breadcrumbs or with batter,
hereby the pores close quickly. The crust is also ideal for frying meat, poultry, fish and
seafood.
