Operation
- Ensure that the oil level is between the
min. and max. level marks.
- Place the basket in the frying container
and close the lid.
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket.
The red indicator light comes on.
- Use the temperature control knob to
select the desired level.
- Allow the deep fryer to pre-heat. The
green indicator light comes on once the
pre-set temperature has been reached.
- Open the lid.
- Lift out the frying basket and place the
food to be fried into the basket.
- Replace the basket in the frying
container.

- Once the food has been fried, open the
lid and lift up the basket to allow the oil
to drain off. For this purpose, the basket
may be hung on the rim of the container.
- After frying is complete, turn the
temperature control knob back and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
The red indicator light goes out.
Useful facts about 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, thereby preventing fat
from entering the food or its juices from
escaping.
In this way, essential proteins, vitamins and
minerals 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 has a neutral taste.
2. Do not mix different kinds of oil.
3. The quality of over-used oil cannot be
improved by mixing it with fresh oil.
The fresh oil would also be spoilt after a
short while.
4. To prevent the oil from frothing up,
make sure that the food is quite dry.
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 food. 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, on the
other hand, an outer crust will be built
up 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 cooking process
begins.
7. Do not fry too much food at once.
Each item should be able to float freely
without touching any other.
8. When cooking battered food, make
sure that the batter is firmly attached to
the food and any excess flour is
removed.
9. Over-used frying oil is easily
recognisable as it is of a darker colour
and more viscous, giving off an
unpleasant smell or tending to foam.
10. Over-used frying oil or oil containing a
residue of particles from earlier use is
more inflammable and tends to ignite
easily. It is therefore best to change the
oil after 3 or 4 cycles of use. However,
its life-span depends mainly on the kind
and quantity of food fried.
11. The life span can be extended if the oil
is filtered after each cycle of use.
12. The oil may be stored inside the deep
fryer if the unit is kept closed and put in
a cool place.
General care and cleaning
● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has completely cooled down.
● Caution: to avoid the risk of electric
