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.
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 use stale oil for frying, as a lowered flash point
increases a risk of ignition. Furthermore, it tends to foam
more and it also emits more smoke and odour.
Tips regarding melting of fat in blocks
In the deep fat fryer
Remove the basket and heating element shield.
Place blocks of fat directly on the heating element so that it is completely
covered.
In order to switch the device on follow the instructions in section „Device
start-up“.
Set the temperature dial in the melting point position and wait until
the fat melts off.
When the heating element is covered with liquid fat, you can set the temperature
controller to the maximum temperature. Place more blocks of fat in the basin for
melting in order to reach the appropriate level of fat in the basin.
Next, carefully place the shield on the heating element.
WARNING! Risk of burns!
Oil/fat splashes may cause burns of hands, arms and face!

- 42 -
In a separate container
In order to quickly melt the fat in blocks, use a separate container (e.g. cooking
pan) placing it on the cooker. Then pour the melted fat to the basin of the deep
fat fryer.
Filling in the basin with oil or fat in blocks
Fill in the basin with frying oil or fat in blocks.
Carefully pour oil to the basin until the appropriate level is reached (between
„MIN“ and „MAX“ marks). Marks are located on the side wall of the basin.
WARNING!
Never start the device without frying oil or fat in blocks in
the basin. Always make sure that the oil or fat level is
between “MIN”- and “MAX”marks in the basin.
RISK OF FIRE!
Reducing the oil or fat level below the “MIN”mark creates a
fire hazard.
RISK OF BURNS!
If the oil or fat level is above the “MAX”mark, it may
lead to boiling of hot oil or fat.
Device start-up
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.
Turn the temperature adjustment knob to the right to the desired temperature within
the range from 50 °C to 190 °C.
While heating up the orange heating indicator light will come on, and will go off when
the pre-set temperature is reached. When the temperature in the basin drops the red
indicator light comes on again and the device heats again.

- 43 -
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 device reaches the desired temperature and then place
the food product in the frying basin.
Do not use the frying oil/fat for too long in excessively high temperature as it loses
its usability.
In case of longer interruptions between the frying processes set the temperature
controller to lower value.
Put the prepared food products to the frying basket.
Never overfill the basket. This leads to the decrease of temperature of oil/grease
and the fried products will absorb too much 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 basin
Slowly dip the frying basket in the oil using
the fixed handle, place it on the heating
element shield and start frying.
When the frying is finished, carefully lift the
basket, hang it on the rail of the control box
and leave to drip.
Set the temperature adjustment knob 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.
