Preparing Food - XJ Appliances XJ-2K960S Mode D'emploi

❐ Never connect the device to the mains power when it is empty (without any oil / fat)!
❐ Never operate the device unattended in order to prevent any personal injury, mate-
rial damage and damage to the device, e.g. caused by fi re.
❐ Only ever use fats and oils which are suitable for high temperatures, i.e. for deep-
frying. Do not use cold-pressed oils or butter. Note the manufacturer's specifi cations
on the packaging.
❐ Do not pour too much oil/fat into the deep fryer, do not exceed the MAX marking in
the frying container as this could cause the deep fryer to spill over and cause serious
burns.
❐ Do not operate the device without or with too little oil / fat. Fill the device at least up
to the MIN marking in the frying container. Check the level of oil / fat before each use.
❐ Do not mix together different types of fat or oil as this could cause the deep fryer to
spill over!
❐ If you use solid fat, it must be cut up into pieces and melted down separately in a
separate vessel at low temperatures and only then be poured slowly into the inner
container.
❐ Never melt a large block of solid fat in the frying container directly! If the fat has be-
come solid after it was last used in the frying container, poke holes in it using a fork
and then warm it up on the lowest temperature setting.
❐ IMPORTANT: The lid of the deep-fat fryer only closes correctly when the fry-
ing basket handle has been pulled out. You should therefore always make
sure that the handle has been pulled out before you insert it into the deep-fat
fryer!
❐ When preparing frozen food, lower the frying basket slowly and carefully into the hot
fat so that it does not bubble over. Keep a suffi cient distance away from the device
in order to avoid burns caused by splashes of hot fat.
❐ Do not place food in the device wrapped in cling fi lm or plastic bags.

Preparing Food

• Cut the food into pieces of equal size so that they cook evenly. Avoid pieces which
are too thick.
• Make sure that the food which is used is dry. This will prevent the fat splashing or
bubbling up unnecessarily.
• Frozen food must be well shaken before being deep-fried in order to remove any loo-
se chunks of ice. Tip: Frozen chips will be crispier if you rinse them with cold water
and then carefully dry them before deep-frying them.
• To make particularly crispy chips from fresh potatoes, do the following: fi rst wash the
potatoes after peeling them under cold water in order to remove the starch in the po-
tatoes. Then dry the chips fully before you deep-fry them. This will make your chips
extra crispy and stop them sticking together when they are deep-fried.
• Do not overfi ll the frying basket! An overfi lled frying basket lowers the temperature
in the device, which means that your food will absorb too much fat and not go crispy.
If frozen food is used, the quantity must be reduced.
