Use Instructions
Useful hints for use
• Oil and fat must be heatable to very high temperatures.
Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use
margarine, olive oil or butter. These fat types are not
suitable for frying, because they already start to smoke at
low temperatures.
• We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.
CAUTION: ...if you would like to use fat!
• If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces. Place it
at the bottom of the deep-frying fat container (4).
• Never place the fat into the deep-frying basket (12)!
• Set the temperature control (8) to a low temperature and
add the pieces slowly.
• When the fat has melted and the required oil level has
been reached, you can set the required temperature
with the temperature control (8). Do not exceed the
MAX mark!
CAUTION: Heavy formation of foam!
• Never mix oils and fats. The liquid may overflow.
• Rub wet food dry with a cloth. Overly damp food causes
heavy foaming which, in serious cases, may cause the
oil/fat to overflow.

WARNING:
Contaminated oil/fat can be highly inflammable!
• Always remove any food which may remain in the oil/fat.
• Replace the oil/fat regularly.
• Avoid any splashing. Fill the basket (12) outside the deep
fryer.
• Fry only in the frying basket (12).
• Select a suitable frying temperature under consideration
of the properties of the food to be fried. The guideline is:
Pre-fried food requires higher temperature than raw food.
• When deep-frying doughy food, wipe off excess dough
and place the pieces carefully into the oil.
• The deep dryer may be filled max. to 2/3. Do not overfill
the frying basket (12).
NOTE: Max. filling quantity 650 g
• Keep the lid (3) closed during use.
• The deep-frying temperatures on the front of the deep
fryer are guide values. Observe the suggested tempera-
tures on the packaging of the food or in your recipe.
Tips for avoiding the acrylamide content
• Acrylamide is a chemical compound. It occurs during the
browning process (deep-drying, baking, cooking, roasting,
and grilling) at high temperatures in food containing
carbohydrates (starch and sugar), like potato and grain
products.
• Acrylamide is suspected of harming genetic material and
causing cancer. However, the actual risk for humans is not
yet known.
• We recommend not to exceed a temperature of 170 °C
during drying.
• Also, the frying time should be kept as short as possible
and the fried goods should be fried maximally to a golden
yellow color.
• Thicker French fries or potato pieces are less loaded than
smaller ones, as acrylamide forms mainly in the surface
layers.
• If you produce French fries from fresh potatoes, water
the peeled and chopped potato pieces for one hour to
dissolve a part of the sugar from the surface layers (initial
substance for acrylamide).
Start-Up
Electric Connection

name plate) and the mains voltage are the same.
• The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed earthed socket.
