4 Fill the dry fryer with oil, liquid frying fat or melted solid fat to a level between the 'MIN' and
'MAX' indications and close the lid (fig. 4).
Do not switch the appliance on before you have filled it with oil or fat.
Oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or fat and never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat, preferably vegetable oil or fat that is rich in
unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid).
Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat
regularly (after 10-12 times).
Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste or if
it turns dark and/or syrupy.
Solid fat
It is possible to use solid frying fat, but in that case extra precautions are necessary to prevent the
fat from spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
1 If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
2 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3 Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
4 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when melted. Punch some holes into the
resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this (fig. 5).
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.
Using the appliance
1 Take the cord from the cord storage compartment and put the plug in the wall socket (fig. 6).
2 Switch the fryer on by means of the on/off switch (fig. 7).
The temperature light goes on (fig. 8).
3 Set the temperature control to the required temperature (see the package of the food to be
fried or the food table at the end of this booklet).
4 Wait until the temperature light goes out (this takes 10 to 15 minutes).
5 Fold out the handle of the frying basket (fig. 9).
6 Open the lid (fig. 2).
7 Remove the basket from the fryer and put the food to be fried in the basket (fig. 10).
8 Put the basket in the fryer without lowering it into the oil or fat (fig. 11).
9 Close the lid.
10 Press the button on the basket handle and fold the handle against the fryer.The basket is
automatically lowered into the oil or fat (fig. 12).
During frying, the temperature light comes on and goes out from time to time to indicate that the
heating element is switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature.
