ETA Fricool - Manual (Page 24)

If the fryer does not work after having been connected to the el. outlet, press button D6
( RESET) with a suitable tool (e.g. a screwdriver).
Place the assembled deep fryer on an even surface (e.g. kitchen table) at a height of at
least 85 cm, out of reach of children, connect the power plug D7 to the electrical grid –
indicator lights D4 and D5 will turn on. Pour the frying medium into the pot B up to the
mark MAX. Using the control dial D3 set the desired temperature (information about the
required temperature is found on the food label or in the table in this user’s manual). Allow
the medium to full heat up (approx. 10 minutes). The correct temperature is indicated by
the indicator light D5. Slowly place the full basket C into the pot B. Subsequently close
the lid E and the deep frying may begin. It is normal for steam to be emitted from the lid
during deep frying, this is not a defect. We recommend that you regularly stir the foods
while frying to prevent them from sticking together. After fi nishing cooking the food turn
the dial D3 to the off position. Remove the lid so that you do not come into contact with
hot steam, pull the basket above the level of the frying medium and then hang it in the
storage position. Allow excess oil to drip off the food.
WARNING
While heating the thermostat may cycle (the indicator light turns on and off). This is not
considered to be a defect.

Preparing fried food
– Wet food intended for frying has to be dried (e. g. in a cloth). Always spice food after
frying, do not spice food above the frying container or during frying.
– Some food (meat, fish) can be breaded. Food should be breaded evenly and excessive
breadcrumbs should be removed thoroughly.
– Food like doughnuts can be fried floating in the oil without the basket.
– Cut food like chicken in half. Thus you will prevent later scalding when taking the food
out of the basket.
– In frying food like French fries, select higher temperatures. On the contrary, while frying
heavier food, e. g. chicken legs or burghers, choose lower temperatures so that the food
is prepared evenly.
– The best way to prepare French fries is to fry them in two phases. Let French fries cool
down before the second frying.
– Do not put too much food in one batch, it could get stuck together.
– Remove excessive ice from frozen food.
– If you fry food several times, wait between frying until the required temperature is
reached and the control light is off.
– In frying more types of food, start with the food requiring lower temperature.
– When frying pre-fried food, use higher temperature and shorter time than for raw food.
– Do not fill the basket more than to one half, otherwise the oil temperature will drop and
the result of frying will not be optimal.
ATTENTION
In frying food containing large amount of water or frozen food, immerse the basket in
the oil slowly; you will prevent the frying oil from foaming over.
