Before the First Use Frying

1.Before you use the deep fryer for the first time please clean all individual components thoroughly and then dry them carefully (see Chapter "Cleaning and Care").

2.Pull the short-period timer q out from the deep fryer.

5.Slide the short-period timer q back into the recess in the deep fryer.

Low-Acrylamide Cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with amino acids when frying foodstuffs with a high starch content (at temperatures of more than 175°C).

Therefore, if avoidable, do not fry foodstuffs that have a high starch content, for example chips, at temperatures in excess of 170˚C. The items to be cooked should be fried until they are golden yellow, instead of dark brown. Only in this way can you achieve a low acrylamide level.

In the temperature controller 8 a pause position is built-in at 170° C. This reminds you that you are progressing into the temperature range at which acrylamide may be formed.

We recommend frying oil or liquid frying fat for use in this deep fryer. You can also use solid cooking fats. For this, first read the chapter “Solid Cooking Fats”.

Preparation

1.Place the appliance on a horizontal, level and stable surface.

Note:

If you wish to place the deep fryer below the extraction fan of the cooker, ensure that the cooker is switched off.

2.Unwind all of the power cable from the power cable retainer 7.

3.Open the appliance lid by pressing on the lid release button 6. The appliance lid flips open.

4.Pull the handle upwards until it audibly engages. Remove the frying basket 3.

Note:

Only use oils or fats which are expressly marked as non-foaming and are suitable for deep frying. This information is to be found on the packaging or the labelling.

NEVER mix different types of oil or fat! The deep fryer could froth.

5.Fill the dry and empty deep fryer (with heating element 5 inserted) with cooking oil or liquid resp. molten fat (ca. 3 l oil or ca. 2.5 kg solid fat).
