-
Allow the deep fryer to pre-heat. The
temperature indicator lamp switches off
once the pre-set temperature level is
reached.
-
Place the food to be fried into the basket.
-
Open the lid and carefully place the
basket into the frying container.
-
Close the lid and lower the basket into
the hot oil.
-
Once the food is ready, lift the handle up
and leave the basket in the upper
position, allowing the oil to drain back
into the container.
-
Open the lid and remove the frying
container.
● After frying is completed, turn the
temperature control knob back to its
lowest position, switch the unit off and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
Useful hints for deep-frying
Food cooked in oil is especially tasty and
nourishing.
When the food is put into the hot oil, its
pores are immediately sealed as a result of
the high temperature, therefore preventing
fat from entering the food or juice escaping.
That way, essential proteins, vitamins and
minerals etc are preserved.
Please observe the following:
1. Only pure vegetable oil should be used
with this deep fryer. It can be heated up
to 220° C and is of a neutral taste.
2. Do not mix different kinds of oil.
3. The quality of often-used oil cannot be
improved by mixing with fresh oil. The
fresh oil would be spoiled after a short
while as well.
4. To prevent the oil from frothing over,
make sure that the food is thoroughly
dried. Take special care to defrost
deep-frozen food thoroughly before
frying. Moisture reduces the life-span of
frying oil.
5. For good results, the right temperature
setting is a decisive factor when deep-
frying. If the oil is not sufficiently hot,
the food may take in too much oil. It is
therefore best to insert the food basket
only once the pre-heating period is
complete. If the oil is too hot, a crust
will be built up too fast while the inner
part of the food remains uncooked
6. Deep-frozen or chilled food should be
briefly inserted into the hot oil once or
twice before the actual process.
7. Do not fry too much food at once. The
food should be allowed to float freely
without touching each other.
8. When using battered food, make sure
that the batter is firmly attached to the
food and excess flour is removed.
9. Oil that has been used many times
before (or oil containing a residue of
particles from earlier use) is
inflammable and tends to ignite easily.
It is readily recognisable as it is viscous
and darker in colour, and gives off an
unpleasant smell or tends to foam.
10. It is therefore best to change the oil
after it has been used three or four
times, bearing in mind that its life-span
depends mainly on the kind and
quantity of food fried.
11. The life span can be extended when the
frying oil is filtered after each cycle of
use.
12. The frying oil may be stored inside the
deep fryer if the unit is kept closed and
stored in a cool place.
General care and cleaning
● Before cleaning the deep fryer, ensure it
is disconnected from the power supply
and has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the outside of the unit or its power
cord with water and do not immerse it in
water.
-
To remove the oil from the unit, wait
until the oil has cooled down sufficiently
but is still liquid and pour it, via the lip in
the rim (4), into a heat-resistant
container. The oil can be filtered by
pouring it through an absorbent paper
