• If you use solid fat, chop it into pieces and then melt it
in a separate pan before pouring it into the bowl (never
melt solid fat in the basket or in the bowl).
• Never exceed 302°F/150°C to melt the fat that has so-
lidified in the bowl. For the cooking temperature follow
the instructions (see cooking charts p.22).
• NEVER use animal fat such as lard or dripping as this
could cause overflowing, smoke or a fire hazard.

Table of cooking times
• The cooking times are a guide only; they may vary
depending on the size of the food and the amount of
food and individual preferences. Thicker food may
require turning halfway through frying to ensure even
cooking on both sides.
• Cooking tips: For best results, use the traditional French
method of frying homemade chips:
- first frying at 338°F/170°C
- second frying at 374°F/190°C
• When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove
the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it and use
tongs to slowly lower the food into the hot oil.
Do not place your hand
above the filter system -
fig. 17, or over the
viewing window.
The steam and the glass
will be hot. Do not touch
the fryer walls which
may also be hot.
At the end of cooking
When cooking battered
food and doughnuts,
take great care when
handling the food and
use tongs. Gradually
place the food into the
hot oil, submerging it
an inch at a time to
prevent it from sinking
immediately.
