Deep frying with your new deep fryer will be
even more fun than before.
Among other things, the applian e offers you the
following advantages:
– a gentle fat melting stage
– thanks to exa t (ele troni ) temperature ontrol,
the surfa es of deep fried titbits an be losed
so fast that deep frying oil or fat annot
penetrate into the food you are ooking. This
ensures that proteins, vitamins and minerals are
retained.
– thanks to the novel installation method
implemented, installation is hild's play!
To ensure that you will be able to use this
applian e in all its diversity, read through the
operating and assembly instru tions
ons ientiously before operating it for the first
time. The instru tions ontain important notes
on use,installation and maintenance of the
applian e.
You will find notes on Page 3 that you ought to
observe before operating the appliance for the
first time.
The hapters entitled “Structure and operating
principle" and “Operation" will tell you all the
things your deep fryer is apable of doing and
how the applian e is operated.
“Cleaning and care" makes sure that your
applian e will stay beautiful for a long time.
And now we wish you lots of fun with your
deep fryer.

1.3 About use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must
not be used to heat up the room in whi h it is
installed.
Keep ventilation openings open (doors, extra tor
hoods and windows).
Do not store any ombustible items inside the
applian e. During operation, only ever leave the
items you need inside the applian e.
Only ever use deep frying inserts (deep frying
baskets) that are intended for the purpose.
The (heating) symbol in the ontrol panel
goes off as soon as the set temperature has been
rea hed.
Return the “Temperature" knob to “0" after deep
frying.
The appliance must not be operated empty (i.e.
without oil or fat; do not use water!). If the
applian e is operated empty, it will swit h off
automati ally and the (limiter) symbol will
appear in the display. If this is the ase, turn the
“Temperature" knob to the 0 position. Wait until the
(limiter) symbol goes off again.
Note: If the (limiter) symbol appears in the
display, there may be many reasons for this (see
Stru ture and operating prin iple).
Top up oil or fat as soon as it is below the minimum
level (bottom marking). Caution: there is a risk of
fires if the filling should drop below the bottom
marking!
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may
overheat and burn easily.
Old/soiled fat must be repla ed if it be omes
brown, has an unpleasant smell and/or smokes
prematurely. Fire risk!
If a fire should break out, remove the mains plug
and pla e the lid on the deep fryer. Never
extinguish with water!
Switch off the extractor hood immediately
because the draught will otherwise intensify
the fire!
The deep frying oil/fat will foam over if foodstuffs
that are too wet or if ex essive quantities are
inserted. Risk of burns!
In the event of malfunctions, first of all he k
the household fuses. If the problem has nothing
to do with the power supply, please onta t your
spe ialist dealer or your lo al Gaggenau after-sales
servi e.
Built-in temperature protection prevents
overheating of the applian e and of build-in
furniture.
Clean the appliance at regular intervals and also
repla e the deep frying oil or fat at regular intervals
be ause soiling auses the deep frying oil or fat to
be ome more easily ignitable.
Do not use the lid during deep frying. The lid
must only be pla ed over the deep fryer after it has
ooled down fully.
Caution: never use the glass over of the steam
ooker for the deep fryer.

2.3 Operating principle During deep frying, the heat that is generated by
the applian e is transmitted by the fat to the food
you are ooking. When this fast ooking method is
employed, a tasty rust is formed around the
ooked food. The deep frying temperature range
lies between 320 and 360°F. The maximum
temperature is 380 °F. A higher temperature would
result in a onsisten y hange in the deep frying fat
or oil.
The two marks on the rear of the deep fryer
indi ate the maximum and minimum levels for
the deep-frying oil or fat. The oil/fat level should
always be between the two marking lines (Fig. 5).
The food to be fried should always be ompletely
overed by the deep-frying oil or fat; if this is
impossible, turn the food after half the frying time.
Any water ontained in the food sinks to the bottom
of the Gaggenau Ele tri Fryer into so- alled cold
oil zone (see 1in Fig. 6). This prevents the oil
frothing over. Also, any parti les of food whi h
break away during frying fall through the basket
and sink to this old zone.
The lower temperature in this zone prevents the oil
breaking down and onsiderably prolongs the time
for whi h the oil or fat an be used.
The foaming edge (see 2in Fig. 6) serves to limit
the foam that o urs during deep frying.
Numerous safeguards serve to prote t you. Turn
the “Temperature" knob ba k to 0 if the (limiter)
symbol should appear on the display.
Possible causes:
– No fat/oil in the deep frying tub or not enough.
– The deep fryer has been swit hed on with the
tubular heating element tilted out.
– The (limiter) symbol goes off as soon as the
temperature on the heating element drops below
a riti al value. Pour fat/oil into the deep frying
tub. The applian e an then be easily operated
again.

3.1 Switching on /off “Temperature" knob
The temperature an be set within the range from
270-380 °F. The fat melting stage an also be set.
“Short time" knob
The short time an be set within a range from
1 minute to 90 minutes (Fig. 7). The applian e is not
swit hed off by the short-time reminder.
Switching on:
Turn the “Temperature" knob to the temperature
you require. The hosen temperature is shown on
the display. While the applian e is heating up, the
(heating) symbol will appear on the display
(Fig. 8)
Turn the “Short time" knob to the left or the right
to set the short time you require (Fig. 9). The range
that an be set is between 1 minute (01) and 90 mi-
nutes (90). The set time elapses on the display. If
you turn the knob fully to the left, 90 appears in the
display. After a few se onds, the hosen value is
onfirmed by an audible signal.
Note: the short time reminder does not swit h the
applian e. You an use the short time reminder
even when the applian e is swit hed off.
Switching off:
Turn the “Temperature" knob to the 0 position
(Fig. 10). The indi ation in the display goes off.

3.2 Fat melting stage
– Pla e approximately 3 kg of rushed fat in the
deep fryer.
– Turn the “Temperature" ontrol knob to the fat
melting stage position on the right. In this
position, the fat is melted slowly and overheating
of the heating element, and thus damaging of the
applian e, are prevented. The (heating)
symbol flashes on the display and 210°F is
displayed.
or
– Turn the “Temperature" ontrol knob to the right
to the fat melting stage position . As soon as an
audible signal sounds, turn the ontrol knob to
the left to the temperature you require. During
the melting pro ess, the (heating) symbol
flashes on the display. The applian e then heats
up automati ally to the sele ted temperature.
Important:
Owing to the low temperature in the old oil zone,
fat that has not melted may remains in this zone. You
an start deep frying as soon as the (heating)
symbol has gone off.
