Frozen Foods - Fagor F-602 Manuel D'utilisation

• Do not leave the oil/fat at a high
temperature for any longer than
necessary. If you have to wait for a long
time between two frying operations, turn
the control knob to a low temperature,
otherwise you will have to change the
oil/fat more frequently.
• In general, the oil/fat will darken in
colour more quickly when frying protein-
rich food (meat or fish).
• If used for frying potatoes, the oil can
be reused between 10 and 12 times,
providing you remove all loose particles
after each frying operation. Never,
under any circumstances, use the same
oil for more than 6 months. After this
period, the oil should be thrown away.
• Always replace the oil if it starts to
bubble when heated, smells or tastes
rancid, has darkened or has lost its
fluidity.
• If you do not use the fryer often, we
recommend that you keep the oil or fat
in air-tight glass recipients, preferably in
the refrigerator. It is not a good idea to
leave the oil in the fryer for long periods
of time.
Chips
Follow the instructions given below for
flavoursome and crunchy chips:
• Do not use very new potatoes (new
potatoes generally give poor results).
Cut the potatoes into sticks.
• Rinse the cut potatoes under the
cold tap. This will stop them sticking
together when fried.
• Dry with a clean cloth or absorbent
kitchen paper.
• The chips should be fried in two stages:
- Stage 1: 160º C for 10-15 minutes.
- Stage 2: 190º C for 5-8 minutes.
• If the chips are frozen, fry in accordance
with the instructions given on the
packet.

Frozen foods

• Frozen foods significantly lower the
temperature of the oil when inserted into
the pan. Therefore, you should never fry
large quantities at the same time.
• Let the appliance heat up once again to
the optimum frying temperature before
adding another portion of deep frozen
food.
• Adjust the thermostat control in
accordance with the instructions given
on the packet. If no such instructions are
given, turn the control knob to the highest
temperature (190º C).
• These instructions should also be
followed in the case of some types of
food which require special treatment,
such as croquettes, for example.
• Deep frozen foods often contain an
excessive amount of ice, which should be
removed before frying.
9. INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working
life, the product must not be
disposed of as urban waste.
It must be taken to a special
local authority differentiated
waste collection centre or to
a dealer providing this service. Disposing
of a household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the
environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to
obtain significant savings in energy and
resources.
To remind you that you must collaborate
with a selective collection scheme, the
symbol shown appears on the product
warning you not to dispose of it in
traditional refuse containers.
For further information, contact your local
authority or the shop where you bought the
product.
