Thermal safety cut-out
Should the oil/fat level fall below the safe
level for operation, the integral thermal
safety cut-out will be activated and the
heating element is switched off. If this
occurs, allow sufficient time for the
appliance to cool down, then add the
required amount of oil/fat. Use the reset
lever on the housing of the heating element
to reset the safety cut-out. Only after a reset
can the appliance be used again.
Should the safety cut-out be activated
repeatedly despite a sufficient oil/fat amount
in the frying container, the appliance must
no longer be used; please have it examined
by a qualified person before it is used again.
Operation
Before using for the first time
Before first use, the appliance should be
cleaned as described in the section General
care and cleaning below.
Lid
Always use the lid handle when taking off or
replacing the lid.
Frying container
The recess below the heating element acts as
a cooling area where residual particles
resulting from the frying process, as well as
other impurities, are collected. The
circulation of the oil/fat results in a lower
temperature level around the recess area.
This collection process extends the life-span
of the frying oil/fat.
- Inserting the frying container:
When placing the frying container into
the housing, ensure that the holding
bracket for the basket is located opposite
from the heating element assembly (refer
to the picture at the beginning of this
manual).
- Fill amount:
Before heating up, the oil/fat level must
be between the minimum and maximum
fill level marks inside the frying
container.
Note: the difference between the
minimum and maximum marks is
approx. 1000ml.
- Types of oil/fat to be used:
Only pure vegetable oil/solidified fat
should be used in this deep fryer. It can
be heated up to 220° C and is neutral in
taste.
Do not mix different kinds of oil/fat.
Oil:
We recommend the use of oil specifically
intended for deep-frying, which may be
