Before the First Use
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.
3. Open the battery compartment, take out the bat-
tery and remove the insulation strips from the
battery compartment.
4. Insert the battery as per the polarity markings in-
dicated inside the battery compartment cover and
then replace the battery cover so that it audibly
engages.
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.
Frying
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).
