We advise the use of frying oil. Should you nevertheless want to use fat, note this has some
risks and you need to act cautiously!
First use
First melt the fat in a separate pan. When all the fat has melted, pour it into the fryer. Only then
the fryer may be switched on. Turn the thermostat knob on the desired temperature. When the
red control lamp switches off, the desired temperature is reached and the fryer is ready for use.
Following uses
A layer of fat covers the heating element in the bowl. Pierce the fat layer with the back of a
spoon until you reach the heating element or the bottom of the bowl. Gently turn the thermostat
knob until you hear a ‘click’ and the red control lamp switches on. When the red control lamp
switches off again, turn the thermostat knob again until you hear a ‘click’. When the fat has
completely melted, you can turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
2. Before inserting the plug into the socket, first fold out the basket handle and suspend the basket
on the hook. The green control lamp lights up.
3. Now turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired temperature. As soon as the selected
temperature is reached, the red control lamp goes out and the fryer is ready for frying. When the
oil temperature drops, the red control lamp will switch back on and will go out as soon as the
selected temperature has been reached again.
4. Put the previously dried food in the basket (max. two third full). For an optimal frying result, we
advise the following quantities :
- Frozen French fries : Fill the basket max. 2/3
- Fresh French fries : max. 150 gr./litre oil or per 900 gr. solid fat
- Delicate dishes like croquettes, fish, …: only cover the bottom of the bowl.
! Always remove all redundant icing-up in advance, again to avoid oil splashes.
! NEVER hang the basket, filled with frozen products above the oil as long as 130°C is not
reached. This causes dangerous splashes of the oil/fat.
5. Immerse the basket gently in the oil or fat to allow the water contained in the food to evaporate.
IMPORTANT:To avoid damage to the oil, NEVER add salt or spices during the frying. It’s better
not to thaw out frozen portions, this way the quality will be much better.
6. Deep fryer with antidust lid : NEVER warm or the deep fryer with the lid on + NEVER fry with
the lid on. Deep fryer with filter lid: frying with the lid on the fryer is allowed
7. After frying pull the basket up and suspend it on the hook.
8. Bring the thermostat knob back to the position of the lowest temperature and disconnect the
plug. Allow complete cooling before emptying and cleaning the deep fryer. Only fold in the
basket handle when the oil has completely cooled off. Put the cord into the cord case.
IV. MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug before disassembling the deep fryer. First remove the basket, then the control
panel with heating element and the bowl. The microswitch automatically switches off the deep
fryer when removing the control panel.
1. -NEVER immerse the control panel in water or any other liquid. Only clean it with a damp cloth.
-Stainless steel housing, stainless steel lid and stainless steel bowl can be cleaned in the
dishwasher or in hot water with detergent. Nevertheless, we recommend to clean the stainless
steel parts in hot water with detergent, considering the aggressive detergents used in the
dishwasher may affect the shine of the stainless steel.
-We advise to clean the basket in hot water with detergent and a washing-up brush. NEVER let
the basket soak in the water, as it could rust because of the aggressive detergents.
2. If you want to clean your deep fryer quickly, easily and safely, we advise you to use the
FRITEL cleaner for fryers.Thanks to the FRITEL cleaner for fryers, this will all be done in no
time. Fill the bowl of the deep fryer with warm water at + 40°C and add about 10 caps of
FRITEL cleaner for fryers. The product must soak in for +/- 20 minutes, then empty the bowl.
