4Fill 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
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.
1If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
2Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
4If 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
1Take the cord from the cord storage compartment and put the plug in the wall socket (fig. 6).
2Switch the fryer on by means of the on/off switch (fig. 7).
◗The temperature light goes on (fig. 8).
3Set 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).
4Wait until the temperature light goes out (this takes 10 to 15 minutes).
5Fold out the handle of the frying basket (fig. 9).
6Open the lid (fig. 2).
7Remove the basket from the fryer and put the food to be fried in the basket (fig. 10).
8Put the basket in the fryer without lowering it into the oil or fat (fig. 11).
9Close the lid.
10Press 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.
