the line voltage match.
• Themains plug should only be inserted into a cor-
rectly installed 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket with earthing
contact.
ConnectedWattage
Thetotal power consumption of this device can be up
to 2000 W. With this connected load a separate supply
line protected by a 10 A household circuit breaker is
recommended.

• If you use extension leads, these should have a
cable cross-section of at least 1.5 mm
2
.

too powerful.
Useful hints for use
1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g.
pieces of French fries).After the device has been used
several times you should change the oil.
Usehigh quality frying oil or frying grease.
2. Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures.
Donot use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not
fi t for frying, because they start to smoke already at
low temperatures.
We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.
WARNING:
Please note this importantinformationif you
intend to use fat!
If you use fat, please divideit up into small pieces.
T urn the thermostat to a low temperature and add
the pieces slowly. Once the fat has melted and the
correct oil levelis reached you can set the desired
temperature on the thermostat.
Underno circumstancesshould you place the fat
in the deep frying basket!
3. In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food
containing starch (potatoes, cereals) the temperature
during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170° C (or
possibly175° C). Furthermore, the frying time should
be kept as short as possibleand the food only fried
until it turns golden yellow.
4. Please note that the safety switch (7) is operated
when the control element is inserted into the guide
mechanism.
5. Choose the right frying temperature and check the
conditions of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb is
that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature
than raw foods.
6. Donot carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is
stillhot.
7. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess
dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.
8. Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying
basket has been correctly attached.
• Pressthe ends of the wire together at the free
end of the handle.
• Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the
basket.
9. Thedeep fat frying basket must not be more than 2/3
full. Donot overfillthe frying basket.
10. Rubdry humid foods with a cloth before frying.
CAUTION:
In the case of foodstuffs which are too moist (e.g.
frozen chips etc.) large amounts of foam may form,
which under certain circumstances may cause the oil
to overfl ow .

4. Insert the plug into a 230 V, 50 Hzpower socket. The
red control lamp lights up. Set the desired tempera-
ture by turning the temperature control (2).
5. Thegreen control lamp lights up. Once the set tem-
perature has been reached the green control lamp
goes off . Place the frying basket containing the items
to be fried carefully into the hot fat.
6. Thegreen control lamp switches on and off several
times during frying. This is normal and it indicates
that the temperature is controlled by the thermostat
and is being maintained. Once the frying time is over
(the frying times are to be found on the packaging of
the food or in the recipe),please take out the frying
basket.
7. Letthe oil drip from the food being fried.
