Tips regarding the use of oil or fat in blocks
Use appropriate oil for frying (e.g. vegetable, sunflower, groundnut oil etc.)
or fat in blocks.
Note: Melt the fat in blocks in a separate pan before pouring it to
the oil basin!
Use only oil or fats suitable for high temperature cooking.
Do not mix different types of oil or fat, because they may have different boiling
points.
WARNING! Risk of burns!
Do not reuse oil, as its lower combustion point means
that it may catch fire, it also is more susceptible to
foaming. Moreover there is a risk of increased smoke
release and odour.
Carefully pour oil to the oil basin (ca. 8 litres) until the appropriate level is reached
(between “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the side of the basin).
CAUTION!
Do not use the unit without oil in the basin. Always ensure the basin is filled
with oil between the „MIN“ and „MAX“ markings. If necessary add some oil.
WARNING!
DANGER OF BURNS! When the oil level is below the MIN
marking, the risk of the oil catching fire is increased.
HOT EXTERNAL SURFACE! When the oil level is above the
MAX marking, hot oil may spill out.

- 39 -
Frying of food
Connect the device to the single grounded socket.
Turn the device on with use of ON/OFF switch. The green indicator integrated with
the switch will come on.
CAUTION!
In order to ensure the presence of oil in the basin, first turn the temperature
controller to “OFF” position, and then to the desired temperature – otherwise
the device will not heat up.
Turn the temperature controller clockwise to the desired temperature
(within the range from 50°C to 190°C).
The heating indicator is on during heating and goes off after the set temperature has
been reached. Green temperature-keeping indicator comes on. Once the
temperature in the oil basin decreases, the red heating indicator comes on again and
the device initiates the heating process again.
WARNING! Risk of burns!
When in use the deep fat fryer and oil in the container are
very hot, and there is a risk of oil catching fire. The device
should not remain in use for extended periods of time!
For best results, wait until the desired temperature has been reached before placing
the frying goods in the fryer’s basin.
Do not use frying oil / fat too long in the high temperature, because it will lose its
properties.
In case of longer breaks between frying processes, set the temperature controller
to the lower value.
Place the prepared food products inside the frying basket.
Never overfill the basket, because the temperature of oil / fat decreases in such a
case and the product becomes too fat.
CAUTION!
Do not fry more than the following amount of food products when frying in
deep fat:
8-litre, single deep fat fryer 0.6 kg
2 x 8-litre, double deep fat fryer 0.6 kg per one basin

- 40 -
Slowly dip the basket in the oil using a fixed handle, place it on the perforated metal
sheet and start frying.
When the frying is finished, carefully lift the basket, hang it on the rail located at the
control box and leave to drip.
Set the temperature controller to ”OFF” position and switch the device off using
ON/OFF switch as soon as the frying process ends the device is not used any longer.
NOTE!
Note –the device switches off the induction field after 2 hours of work and
switched to standby mode.
WARNING! Risk of burns!
Do not use the deep fat fryer with the lid on!
The lid serves as dust protection and it is used for keeping
the temperature of oil during possible breaks in frying.
In order to avoid dangerous oil splashes caused by water
dripping from the lid, make sure it is dry before setting it
on top.
Replacement and removal of frying oil
The frying oil should be replaced when it does not fulfil the recipes
requirements.
After cooling off, pour in the frying oil into an appropriate container through
the oil drain tap. Make sure that the container is placed in a stable way.
