DEEP FRYING
USING THE APPLIANCE
• Before first use, thoroughly clean the appliance with hot water and a drop of washing liquid.
• Rinse with clean water and dry the appliance thoroughly. Fill the appliance with fat or vegetable oil.
If you are using solid fat, first cut it into pieces and set the thermostat knob at 900 until the fat has
totally melted.
• The oil level must always be between the highest and lowest level indicator, max. (1.1 litre) min. (0.8
litre). Set the thermostat knob at the desired temperature. See frying table with temperatures. The light
goes off when the desired temperature has been reached.
• When the light goes out, first place of the empty basket in the oil. This prevents the food from sficking.
• Place the fc)od to be fried in the basket. For best results, the food should be dry before being placed
in the basket.
• Use the removable handle to place the basket in the deep fryer. Then remove the handle from the bas-
ket. IMPORTANT: check whether the handle is properly attached to the basket so that the basket will
not fall off when shaking the chips (or other food).
• Slowly lower the basket into the oil to prevent the oil from bubbling up.
• Then lift the basket when the frying time has elapsed and hang it on the hook in the pan so that the oil
can drip off.
• Remove the plug from the outlet.
• After use, rinse the handle and the basket and dry thoroughly.
• Once the deep fryer has totally cooled off, you can place the basket back in the deep fryer. Store the
deep fryer, with closed lid, in a dry and dark place. You can leave the oil and the basket in the deep fryer.
• WARNING:The lid is only intended to keep out dust; do not use it when the deep fryer is switched on.
FRYING TIPS
• For better results, use the recommended oil or fat (see table). It is not a good idea to mix together
several different sorts of oil.
• Replace the oil or fat regularly, especially if it turns dark or dirty or if it starts to foam excessively. The
appliance has a pouring spout so that the oil can be poured out easily. Clean the pan each time it is
emptied.
• The quality of the oil or fat diminishes each time it is heated for a long period of time. Switch off the
deep-fryer after use each time.
• In order to achieve good results, do not fry large quantities in one go.
• Fry a maximum of 200 grams of chips per litre of oil.
• In the case of frozen products, fry a maximum of 100 grams as the oil cools off considerably.
• Shake frozen products above the sink to get rid of surplus ice.
• When making chips from fresh potatoes, dry the chips after washing to prevent water from getting into
the oil.
• Fry the chips in two turns; the first stage (pre-fry) for 5 to 10 minutes at 170°C and the second stage
(final-fry) for 2 to 4 minutes at 190°C. Allow to drain thoroughly before serving.
• Do not fry too much food at once. Only cover the bottom of the basket so that the temperature of the
oil does not drop. This would cause the food to absorb too much oil.
• Adhere to the prescribed deep-frying time.
• Do not put salt on the food before or during frying, but wait until the food has been removed from the
basket. Salt and water will spoil the oil.
• Let the food drain thoroughly and wipe it with kitchen paper to remove any surplus fat.
• Eat the food straight away. If you have to keep the food warm for a while, do this in the oven and not in
a covered dish, as condensation makes the food soggy.
