YOUR DEEP-FRYING PAN
Description
HF1334S
INTRODUCTION
The detachable reservoir
The stainless steel reservoir is an important part of the
deep-frying pan. Its special form guarantees optimum
use of the cool zone and safety for the user. The large
immersion zone prevents boiling cooking oil from
bubbling over if ice or water particles come into contact
with the oil. This happens when products that are
frozen or that contain much water are lowered into the
hot oil.
The reservoir consists of 5 zones:
- The reservoir bottom
An 11 mm deep groove runs around the bottom of the
reservoir. This is the cool zone where the food debris is
collected.
- The cool zone
The oil layer underneath the heating element does not
move. At the highest setting the cool zone reaches a
maximum temperature of 70°C.
- The hot zone
The reservoir may hold approximately 3 litres of oil,
making it possible to fry 750 grams of chips in one go
without a noticeable drop in oil temperature.
- The immersion zone
With its volume of approximately 5 litres, the immersion
zone prevents the oil from splattering.
- The drainage and recovery zone
This is the zone where the splattering oil is contained.
The sloping curves lead the drops of oil back into frying
reservoir.

SAFETY
Important matters
Overheating protection
In the event of a problem, the power supply is
immediately cut off. The power supply is not
automatically resumed. Contact the service department
to have the safety component repaired.
Safety instructions
This appliance has been designed for household use
exclusively. In order to avoid any damage, it is
important that you follow the instructions in the user
manual. If this appliance is used for any other purpose,
the guarantee will expire. Following is an overview of a
number of important safety instructions. Read them
carefully.
- Service and maintenance may only be carried out by
an ASKO authorized service organization.
- Only parts may be used that have been supplied by
ASKO. Read the guarantee.
- Make sure that the cable does not jam.
- Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
- In the event of the oil or fat catching fire, place the lid
on the appliance to extinguish the flame.
- Switch off the appliance if the oil or fat catches fire.
Also switch off the extractor hood. If you cannot do so
with the switch on the appliance, switch off the fuse in
the meter cabinet instead.
- Check if you have switched off the appliance if you
have finished using it. The button should indicate zero.
- Never put paper or any other combustible items on the
appliance.
- Make sure that there is no open fire close by. The oil
is hot and highly combustible.
- Always keep the deep-frying pan clean. This is
important for both hygienic and safety reasons.
- When heating the appliance, spilled food and fat will
cause smoke and could even cause a fire.
- Read the guidelines in this manual and follow them.
- The power circuit should be fitted with a bipolar switch
with a contact distance of at least 3 mm.
- Make sure that the plug remains accessible after you
have installed the deep-frying pan
- If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced
by an equivalent cable (H05RNF 3 x 1mm2). The
replacement cable is available from the service
department.
- The deep-frying pan is powered by 2200 W, requiring
a 16 A fuse.
SAFETY
Important matters
Safety instructions
- The deep-frying pan should be earthed.
- There should be at least 5 cm of free space
between the bottom side of the deep-frying pan and
the underlying surface of the kitchen unit.
- Only use the appliance if it has been built in.
- Only switch on the appliance with the lid open if the
reservoir has been filled with frying fat. Switching on an
empty deep-frying pan will cause the element to
overheat.
- Never switch on the heating element if it is in an
upward position.
- Highly combustible objects near the element could
catch fire.
- Be careful if there are children near the deep-frying
pan.
- Always make sure that no cables can come into
contact with hot fat or the hot deep-frying pan.
Keep the deep-frying pan clean.
- After you have used the deep-frying pan 6 to 10 times,
clean it as described in ‘how to keep your deep-frying
pan clean’.
A dirty deep-frying pan increases the risk of fire.
Replace the fat if it:
- has turned dark and viscous;
- gives off an unpleasant smell or if it froths;
- starts to steam at temperatures below 170 °C.
Contaminated frying fat spoils the taste and is highly
combustible.
Heat food sufficiently.
- The heating times for food depend on a number of
factors, e.g. the original temperature, the quantity and
the type of dish.
Any germs that might be present in the food will only be
killed if the food is heated properly.

BEFORE FIRST TIME USE
Important matters
The first time that you use your deep-frying pan, it will
give off an unpleasant smell and produce some smoke.
To avoid this as much as possible, first clean the
reservoir, the basket and the heating element with
warm water and washing-up liquid.
- Fill the reservoir with three litres of water and add a
drop of washing-up liquid.
- Bring the water to the boil and keep it boiling for about
10 minutes.
- Carefully take the reservoir out of the deep-frying pan
and pour the water out.
- Rinse the reservoir with clean water.
USE
Frying food
Set the temperature desired and wait until the oil has
reached this temperature. The light next to the
temperature indicator reaches ”ºC” and turns off. The
deep-frying pan automatically keeps the oil at the right
temperature.
Attention:
Dry moist foodstuffs first to avoid excessive frothing of
the oil.
Replace the oil when it turns light brown or when the
food fried does not become crisp (even with the right
temperature set).
Do not forget to return the control button to 0 after you
have finished frying. The light next to ”ON” turns off.
To avoid the risk of fire, first remove any bits of batter
that remain in the oil before you start frying again.
Fill the reservoir until the oil level is between the
minimum (3 litres) and maximum (3.5 litres) indication
lines on the reservoir wall.
Attention:
The element that has been switched on should always
be immersed in cooking oil or fat. This means that you
should never melt hard chunks of fat directly on the
element.
Attention:
First melt animal of vegetable fat before you pour it into
the deep-frying pan.
If you use fat instead of oil, start by pricking holes into
the congealed fat with a knife or fork before switching
on the deep-frying pan. This avoids splattering should
the congealed fat contain an air bubble. Be careful
when doing this so as not to damage the temperature
sensors on the heating element.
This appliance should not be used by children. When
the deep-frying pan is used, children should be
kept under constant supervision to avoid them
playing with it.

USE
Frying food
The ideal frying temperature lies between 140°C and
180°C. Higher temperatures have a negative impact on
the oil quality. At lower temperatures foodstuffs have a
tendency to soak up the oil or fat.
Please note that the frying time is dependent on how
thick the pieces of food are. Therefore choose a
temperature that allows the food to be cooked
thoroughly without causing it to burn on the outside.
The following table serves as an indication. You may
adjust the temperatures according to the quantity that
needs to be fried and to personal taste.
Turn the control button to 0 after you have finished.

USE
Frying food
Avoid dust and dirt falling into the deep-frying pan and
close the lid on the pan after use. By changing its
position the handgrip is kept clear of the fat. To do so:
- Push the two bars of the handgrip together.
- Shove the handgrip out of the hinge.
- Turn the grip round and fasten it.
- Flip the handgrip inwards. Attention: the concave side
of the handgrip should face upwards to avoid it falling
into the frying fat.
The lid may be placed on the deep-frying pan.
Make sure that the handgrip is back into the original
operating position before you start deep-frying again.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Switch off the deep-frying pan and let it cool down.
The deep-frying pan can be disassembled for easy
cleaning.
A “drainage” setting allows for fastening the heating
element during cleaning.
Hinge with drainage setting
The hinge, which enables the flipping aside of the
heating element during cleaning, has been fitted with a
stainless steel locking system. By shifting this lock to
the right, the heating element is left ‘hanging’ over the
frying pan, while the oil or fat runs back into the
reservoir.
Outside
Clean the outside with cleaning agents for glass or
stainless steel. Do not use any scouring sponges or
abrasives.
The reservoir and the basket may be cleaned with the
rest of the washing-up. Both may be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
The heating element
Clean the heating element with a damp cloth. Be
careful not to damage the thermostat!
