Before The First Use - Fritel FR 1355 Mode D'emploi

2.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

▪ Remove all packaging and stickers.
▪ Before using the deep fryer for the first time, clean the bowl and the basket (see point IV)
▪ Disassemble the deep fryer in this order: basket – control panel – bowl.
▪ Clean the bowl and the basket
▪ Assemble the deep fryer in this order: bowl – control panel with heating element – basket
▪ ! When placing the bowl back into the housing, the basket hook (inside bowl) must be positioned opposite to the
control panel.
! Then check if your fryer has been correctly mounted, namely if the sliders fit precisely in the openings made for
that purpose (backside control panel)
▪ Ensure that the voltage marked on the rating-plate is the same as your main voltage.
3. USE
1. Fill the bowl with oil between the min MIN and MAX level.
! NEVER warm up the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. If you do so, the deep fryer may get
damaged permanently.
NEVER switch the deep fryer on before it is filled with enough oil. NEVER leave water in the stainless steel bowl
when filling it with oil. The oil must always be between MIN and MAX, otherwise the safety thermostat switches
off.
2. Before inserting the plug into the socket, first fold out the basket handle and suspend the basket on the hook.
3. Now turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired temperature. The heating control lamp lights up. As soon
as the selected temperature is reached, the heating control lamp goes out and the fryer is ready for frying. When
the oil temperature drops, the heater and the control lamp will switch back on and will go out as soon as the
selected temperature has been reached again.
4. Put the previously dried food in the basket (max. two third full). For an optimal frying result, we advise the
following quantities:
- Frozen French fries: Fill the basket max. 2/3
- Fresh French fries: max. 150 gr./liter oil
- Delicate dishes like croquettes, fish, ...: only cover the bottom of the bowl.
! Always remove all redundant icing-up in advance, again to avoid oil splashes.
! NEVER hang the basket, filled with frozen products above the oil as long as 130°C is not reached. This causes
dangerous splashes of the oil.
5. Immerse the basket gently in the oil to allow the water contained in the food to evaporate.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the oil, NEVER add salt or spices during the frying. It's better not to thaw out
frozen portions, this way the quality will be much better.
6. Deep fryer with antidust lid: NEVER warm the deep fryer with the lid on and NEVER fry with the lid on
Deep fryer with filter lid: frying with the lid on the fryer is allowed
7. After frying pull the basket up and suspend it on the hook.
8. Bring the thermostat knob back to the position of the lowest temperature and disconnect the plug. Allow
complete cooling before emptying and cleaning the deep fryer. Only fold in the basket handle when the oil has
completely cooled off. Put the cord into the cord case.
4. MAINTENANCE
1. Remove the plug before disassembling the deep fryer. First remove the basket, then the control panel with
heating element and the bowl. The microswitch automatically switches off the deep fryer when removing the
control panel.
2. -NEVER immerse the control panel in water or any other liquid. Only clean it with a damp cloth.
-Stainless steel housing, stainless steel lid and stainless steel bowl can be cleaned in the dishwasher or in hot
water with detergent. Nevertheless, we recommend cleaning the stainless steel parts in hot water with
detergent, considering the aggressive detergents used in the dishwasher may affect the shine of the stainless
steel.
