Gaggenau VF 230 - Manual (Page 5)

1.3 About use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must
not be used to heat up the room in which it is
installed.
Keep ventilation openings open (doors, extractor
hoods and windows).
Do not store any combustible items inside the
appliance. During operation, only ever leave the
items you need inside the appliance.
Only ever use deep frying inserts (deep frying
baskets) that are intended for the purpose.
The (heating) symbol in the control panel
goes off as soon as the set temperature has been
reached.
Return the “Temperature" knob to “0" after deep
frying.
The appliance must not be operated empty (i.e.
without oil or fat; do not use water!). If the
appliance is operated empty, it will switch off
automatically and the
(limiter) symbol will
appear in the display. If this is the case, turn the
“Temperature" knob to the 0 position. Wait until the
(limiter) symbol goes off again.
Note: If the (limiter) symbol appears in the
display, there may be many reasons for this (see
Structure and operating principle).
Top up oil or fat as soon as it is below the minimum
level (bottom marking). Caution: there is a risk of
fires if the filling should drop below the bottom
marking!
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may
overheat and burn easily.
Old/soiled fat must be replaced if it becomes
brown, has an unpleasant smell and/or smokes
prematurely. Fire risk!
If a fire should break out, remove the mains plug
and place the lid on the deep fryer. Never
extinguish with water!
Switch off the extractor hood immediately because
the draught will otherwise intensify the fire!
The deep frying oil/fat will foam over if foodstuffs
that are too wet or if excessive quantities are
inserted. Risk of burns!
In the event of malfunctions , first of all check
the household fuses. If the problem has nothing
to do with the power supply, please contact your
specialist dealer or your local Gaggenau after-sales
service.
Built-in temperature protection prevents
overheating of the appliance and of build-in
furniture.
Clean the appliance at regular intervals and also
replace the deep frying oil or fat at regular intervals
because soiling causes the deep frying oil or fat to
become more easily ignitable.
Do not use the lid during deep frying. The lid
must only be placed over the deep fryer after it has
cooled down fully.
Caution: never use the glass cover of the steam
cooker for the deep fryer.
