II.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

 Remove all packagings 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.
 Ensure that the voltage marked on the rating-plate is the same as your main voltage.
III. USE
1. Fill the bowl with oil or fat between the min MIN and MAX level.
! NEVER warm up the deep fryer without oil or with unsufficient 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 or fat. NEVER leave water in the
bowl when filling it with oil or fat. The oil must always be between MIN and MAX, otherwise the safety
thermostat switches off.
We advise the use of frying oil. Should you nevertheless want to use fat, note this has some risks and you
need to act cautiously!
First use
First melt the fat in a separate pan. When all the fat has melted, pour it into the fryer. Only then the fryer
may be switched on. Turn the thermostat knob on the desired temperature. When the red control lamp
switches off, the desired temperature is reached and the fryer is ready for use.
Following uses
A layer of fat covers the heating element in the bowl. Pierce the fat layer with the back of a spoon until
you reach the heating element or the bottom of the bowl.
Gently turn the thermostat knob until you hear a 'click' and the red control lamp switches on. When the
red control lamp switches off again, turn the thermostat knob again until you hear a 'click'.
When the fat has completely melted, you can turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
2. Before inserting the plug into the socket, first fold out the basket handle and suspend the basket on the
hook. The green control lamp lights up.
3. Now turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired temperature. As soon as the selected temperature
is reached, the red control lamp goes out and the fryer is ready for frying. When the oil temperature drops,
the red 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./litre oil or per 900 gr. solid fat
- 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/fat.
5. Immerse the basket gently in the oil or fat 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
