the lid and suffocate the flames with a damp cloth.

Introduction

The deep fryer is equipped with an adjustable thermostat, so that the temperature can be adapted to the food being fried.

Connection: The fryer must be connected to a properly installed 230V, 50Hz socket with earthing protection.

Before using for the first time

•Remove the packaging. Then take the lid off the deep fat fryer. In the deep fat fryer you will find a frying basket. Take all objects out of the fryer.

•It is highly recommended to clean the lid, casing, container and frying basket as de- scribed in the Cleaning section.

•Please pull the connection cable out of the cable compartment.

Useful hints for use

•Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. Pieces of French fries). Change the oil after using it 8-10 times.

•Deep frying fat must be capable of be- ing heated to high temperatures. Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying, because they start to smoke at low temperatures. Furthermore, the frying time should be kept as short as possible and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.

•Please note that the safety switch is operated when the control element is inserted into the guide mechanism.

•Choose the right frying temperature and check the conditions of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature than raw foods.

•Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still hot.

•When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.

•Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying basket has been correctly attached.

•Press the ends of the wire together at the free end of the handle.

•Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the basket.

•The deep fat frying basket must not be more than 2/3 full. Do not overfill the frying basket (The maximum filling quantity for chips is 200g per litre of oil/fat).

•Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before fry- ing.

•Caution: In the case of foodstuffs which are too moist (e.g. Frozen chips etc.) Large amounts of foam may form, which under certain circumstances may cause the oil to overflow.

•After use, unplug the deep fryer.

Use

•Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched off (The control lamps are off.).

•Take the lid off the deep fryer.

•Remove the frying basket and fill the contain- er with oil or grease (maximum). The filling level must be located between the minimum and the maximum level. Put the lid back on.

Please note the following important informa- tion!

•If you use fat, divide it up into small pieces and place it on the floor of the deep frying

vessel.

•Under no circumstances should you place the fat in the deep frying basket.

•Insert the plug into a 230V, 50Hz power socket. The red control lamp lights up. Set the desired temperature by turning the tem- perature control.

•The green control lamp lights up. Once the set temperature has been reached the green control lamp goes off. Take the lid off and put the frying basket with the food to be fried carefully into the hot oil.

•The green control lamp switches on and off several times during frying. This is normal and it indicates that the temperature is con- trolled by the thermostat and is being main- tained. At the end of the frying time (the frying time is specified on the package of the food or in the recipe) open the lid carefully (Warn- ing! Hot steam may be released!). Remove the frying basket.

•Let the oil drip from the food being fried.

•In order to switch off the machine, please turn the temperature regulator to OFF and remove the plug from the socket. Wind the mains lead up in the form of a spiral in the cable compartment.
