shortening fat. It is not intended for heating water or other liquids or for cooking
food directly in the frying pot without the use of afrying medium.

A2 using a hot detergent solution. Then rinse all these parts with clean water and
dry them thoroughly with afine wiping cloth. Both these par ts can also be washed

OPERA TION
PREP ARING THE DEEP FR YER FOR FRYING
■ Place the deep fryer on asuitable even surface that is out of children'sreach. Alwa ys
position the handles of the deep fryer so that nobody can brush against them and
knock or tilt the deep fryer over, or spill its hot con tents.
■ If you wish to place the deep fryer on a cooktop underneath arange hood, ensure
that the cooktop is turned off.
■ T ake out the frying basket and inser t the handle A2 into the frying basket by
squeezing the basket wires B1 towards each other with y our fingers and insert the
bent ends into the holes in the bracket B2 on the basket. Then apply gentle pressure
to secure the wires in the bracket. An audible click will be hear d.
■ Pour the frying medium (deep frying oil, or aliquid or dissolved shortening fat) into
the dry and empty fr ying pot A4 up to the MAX mark, see fig C . Only use oils and
shortening fats that are explicitly marked as "non-frothing" and suitable for deep
frying. This inf ormation is provided on the packaging or label.
Warning:
Never pour more frying medium into the frying pot than up to the
MAX mark and never less than up to the MIN mark.
Never pour any liquid, for e xample water, in to the frying pot.
Never combine various types of shortening fats or oils together .
They could overflow out of the deep fryer.
■ Clean the top edge of the frying pot and any other parts, which have been soiled
while the frying pot was being filled.
FOOD PREP ARA TION
■ As arule, cut food into equal-sized pieces t o ensure that it cooks evenly .
■ If the food intended for deep frying is damp, then dry it first. Always season food
with spices only after frying and do not apply the spices above the frying pot or
during the course of frying.
■ If you wish to deep fry coated/battered food, ensure that it is ev enly coated/battered
and that any excess br eadcrumbs are tapped off because loose breadcrumbs spoil
the quality of the frying medium.
■ Certain types of food, such as doughnuts, can be deep fried directly in the frying pot
containing the frying medium without using the frying basket.
■ Cut large pieces of food, e .g. chickens, into smaller pieces. This will prevent
subsequent scalding when removing the food from the basket .
■ Do not place too many food pieces on top of each other , they could stick together .
■ Remove any excess ic e from frozen foods since it could cause the oil to boil o ver.
■ Do not fill the basket more than halfway , other wise the temperature of the frying
medium will fall and the frying result will not be optimal.
DEEP FRY ING
■ Connect the power cord plug to apower socket .
■ Set the temperature control knob A11 to the required temper ature. Information
about the appropriate temperature is f ound on the food label or in the table in this
user'smanual. The indicator light A5 will be lit. The temperature is r eached when the
indicator turns off and takes approximately 10 minutes .
■ Slowly insert the basket with the food into the frying pot. Then tilt down the lid , and
deep frying can begin. Steam may escape through the lid during the deep frying
process. This is normal and does not constitute afault.
Attention:
When deep frying food that contains a large amount of water or
frozen foods , lower the basket into the frying medium slowly. This
will prevent it from ov er flowing.
■ While frying, we recommend to stir the food occasionally t o prevent it from sticking
together . Y ou can monitor the pr ogress of deep frying through the viewing window
in the lid.
Note:
The thermostat will automatically turn on and off to maintain the correct
temperature of the frying medium. Based on this, the power indicator
light will intermittently turn on and off .
Warning:
The deep fryer and its lid are very hot during the deep frying
process. In the event that it is necessary to handle the deep fryer
during its operation, always use oven mitts and only handle it
using the handles A9 .
■ When you have finished deep frying, turn the control knob to position A12 (off ). T ilt
open the lid so that you do not come into contact with hot steam, pull the basket
above the level of the frying medium and then hang it on the fixed bracket A3 in the
drip position. Allow excess oil to drip off the food .
Warning:
Never touch the frying basket when you have finished deep
frying, it is very hot! Lift the fr ying basket out of the deep fryer
only by the basket handle.
■ Allow the deep fryer to cool down with the lid open to prevent wat er from
condensing.
■ After the oil drips off, put the deep fried food into a suitable container . W e
recommend to line the container with asuitable kitchen paper towel .
Recommended time and temperature table
■ Generally, it is recommended t o use lower temperatures for brittle foods (v egetables,
fish) and higher temperatures for fr ozen foods (French fries , chicken, etc.).

Deep frying tips
■ When frying lighter foods such as French fries, select ahigher temperature. On the
other hand when frying bulkier foods such as chicken drumsticks or meat balls,
select lower temperatures to ensure the f oods are evenly fried inside.
■ It is appropriate to fry French fries in two phases. In the first phase, fry them for 5-10
minutes at 170°C and then allow them to cool down. In the second phase, fry them
for 2-4 minutes at 190°C.
■ When frying several food types start with those that require the lower temperature.
■ When frying pre -fried foods, use a higher temperature and a shor ter frying time
than for raw foods .
