Oil and fat

Never mix different types of oil or fat and never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. Preferably use vegetable oil or fat that is rich in

unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunflower oil.

Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you have to change the oil or fat

regularly (after 10-12 times).

Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste or if

it turns dark and/or syrupy.

cool zone

During frying, loose food particles collect on the bottom of the inner bowl. As the heating element

has been placed some distance above the bottom of the inner bowl and primarily heats the oil or

fat above it, the oil or fat between the bottom of the inner bowl and the heating element remains

relatively cool (cool zone). This prevents the food particles that end up in this zone from burning,

increasing the number of times you can re-use the oil or fat.

solid fat

You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from

spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.

1

If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.



Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.



Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.



If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when it melts. Punch some holes in the

resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this (Fig. 7).

Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.

Frying

Hot steam escapes from the filter in the lid during frying.

1

Take the entire cord from the cord storage compartment and put the plug in the wall

socket (Fig. 8).



Press the on/off switch to switch on the fryer.

The power-on light in the on/off switch goes on.



Set the temperature control to the required temperature (150-190°C). (Fig. 9)

For the required temperature, see the package of the food to be fried or the food table for your

type at the end of this booklet. You can find the type number on the bottom of the appliance.

The temperature light is on.

Note: You can leave the basket in the fryer while the fryer heats up.



Wait until the temperature light goes out (this takes 10 to 15 minutes).

5

Lift the handle to raise the basket to its highest position (Fig. 10).

6

Press the lid release lever to open the lid. The lid opens automatically (Fig. ).



Remove the basket from the fryer and put the food to be fried in the basket.
