•The frying basket 3 and the stainless steel con- tainer 4 can be cleaned in the dishwasher. They are suitable for dishwashers.

•Clean the housing and the appliance lid with a damp cloth. If required, use a mild detergent on the cloth.

•Clean the operating/heating element 5 with a moist cloth.

Note:

•Should you wish to clean the permanent-metal filter 2 inside the appliance lid, then place the appliance lid in warm water with a mild detergent.

•Allow it to soak for a short period and then slew it back and forth.

•Rinse the appliance lid off with clear water.

•Dry it and then place it upright on its side so that any excess water still in the inside of the lid can drain away.

•Dry it off again and ensure that there is no moisture below the rubber lip on the underside of the appli- ance lid. If necessary, lift the rubber lip to dry it.

Be aware that the lid MUST be completely dry be- fore re-use!

•Reassemble the deep fryer in the reverse order.

•Lift the appliance with the assistance of the lateral carrying recesses.

•Wrap the power cable around the power cable retainer 7.

•Store the appliance with the appliance lid closed. This will keep the inside of the deep fryer clean and free of dust.

Tips

Home-made chips

•Potatoes intended for frying should be faultless and not germinating.

•Use potato varieties suitable for frying, such as "King Edward", "Morris Piper", "Cara" etc.

•After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips or slices).

•Soak the potatoes for approx one hour before frying. This will help remove a portion of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the formation of acrylamides.

•Carefully dry the potatoes.

•Always fry home-made potatoes twice:

•first for 10-12 minutes at 160°C then for 3-4 mi- nutes at 170°C, depending on the desired degree of browning.

•Deep frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once. Comply with the instruc- tions on the packaging.

Frozen Foods

Deep frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18 °C) cool the oil or fat to a considerabe extent, because of this they do not cook fast enough and possibly also soak up too much oil of fat. To avoid these occurences, pro- ceed as follows:

•Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once. The food to be fried must be completely covered with cooking oil/fat after lowering the frying basket 3.

•Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting the frozen foodstuffs.

•Adjust the temperature controller 8 to the tem- perature specified in these operating instructions or on the packaging of the foodstuff.

•Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. Remove as much ice and water as possible before inserting the food into the deep fryer.
