Warning and Safety instructions
11

Correct use
~The fryer gets hot when in use and remains hot for
quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger
of burning until the residual heat indicator goes out.
~Never leave the fryer unattended when using it.
Overheated oil can ignite and cause a fire.
Never use naked flames near the appliance, e.g.
candles or lighters. Fire hazard.
~If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out
the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket or
cover it with the lid.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up the room, and
never switch it on with the heating element in the raised
position. Due to the high temperatures radiated,
objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of
the appliance could also be reduced.
~Never use plastic containers for hot fat. These melt
at high temperatures. Only use heat-proof dishes.
~Use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using
the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
Only the handle of the frying basket and the pasta
insert can be touched safely.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~Where several appliances are installed side by side
Do not place hot pots or pans on the cover strip as this
can damage the seal.
~Do not cover the fyrer, e. g. with a cloth, kitchen foil,
etc. The material could catch fire or melt if the
appliance is switched on by mistake or if it is still warm.
~The fryer should only be switched on when the lid
has been taken off and it has been filled with oil or
water.
~Clean or change dirty oil or fat in good time. Oil or fat
containing impurities is liable to catch fire.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held
food blender, near the fryer, ensure that the cable of
the electrical appliance does not come into contact
with the hot fryer. The insulation on the cable could
become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock
hazard.
~Do not dispose of used cooking oil down the sink. It
can damage pipework and cause blockages in the
water pipes.
Dispose of it safely with your household waste or ask
your local authority about disposal schemes in your
area.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or
reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms
which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long enough.
Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as
poultry, it is particularly important that the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
~Handling and preparing food correctly is essential
for maintaining good health. Please read the "Frying
tips" section in "Using the fryer" later on in this booklet.
~If the fryer is installed behind a kitchen furniture
door, it may only be used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door when the appliance is switched off
and the residual heat indicators have gone out.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

Using the fryer
17

Before frying
Only operate the fryer without the lid.
Only use oil / fat which is suitable for
frying in and which can be heated to
a high temperature.
Never mix different types of oil or fat
together.
Before frying make sure that the oil
reservoir has been filled with enough oil
or fat (minimum 3 litres / 3 kg, maximum
4 litres / 4 kg).
^Check that the drain tap is closed.
^Fill the oil reservoir with oil / fat. Solid
fat should be cut up into small pieces
first.
When re-using fat which has
solidified in the reservoir, make a
hole in the solid fat as far as the
element. This allows any water which
has gathered under the fat to
evaporate.
^Turn the control to 100 °C and wait
until the fat has melted.
^When all the fat has melted check the
level in the reservoir. This needs to
be between the minimum and
maximum level markers at the back
of the reservoir.
Frying
^Set the frying temperature required
(see chart) and wait until the
temperature indicator light goes out
for the first time. The oil has now
reached the set temperature.
^Carefully lower the frying basket
containing the food to be fried into
the hot oil. If the oil froths a lot, lift the
basket out of the oil briefly and then
slowly lower it into the hot oil again.
^When the food is cooked, lift the
basket out of the hot oil. Shake the
basket a little to remove any excess
oil, and then hang it on its support.
Do not leave food suspended over the
reservoir for too long as steam from the
oil can cause the food to lose its
crispness. Finally, place the food onto
kitchen paper towel to soak up any
excess oil.
Warning. Whilst frying food make
sure you do not touch the hot oil.
Protect you hands in particular, e.g.
by wearing heat-resistant oven
gloves.

Frying tips
Handling and preparing food
correctly is essential for maintaining
good health. Food should be fried
until it is golden. Do not let it get too
dark.
Never add salt to food in hot oil. This
could cause the oil to boil over.
–The oil or fat needs to be hot enough
to seal the food quickly. If the
temperature is too low the food will
absorb too much fat, making it
difficult to digest.
It is important to wait until the
temperature indicator goes out
(which means the set temperature
has been reached), before adding
food to the fryer.
– Best results are achieved by keeping
to the temperature guidelines given
in the chart. Only use temperatures
above 170 °C where absolutely
necessary (e.g. for fish and meat
which has not been coated in
breadcrumbs or pastry).
–When frying deep frozen products
use the lowest temperature quoted
on the manufacturer's packaging.
–Keep frying times as short as
possible.
–Use the correct ratio of food to fat.
This should be between 1:10 and
1:15. For example, you need
between 1 and 1.5 litres of oil for
100 g of frozen chips. Food will get
too hot if you use too much oil. If you
try and fry too much food at once the
oil will cool down too much.
–Heating the oil for too long will speed
up its deterioration rate.
–Food should be as dry as possible
for frying as moisture can cause
frothing. Damp food should be dried
using paper towel. Remove any
excess ice and frost from deep
frozen food.
– Lower the frying basket slowly so that
the oil does not froth over.
– Rinsing freshly cut potatoes under
running water and then drying them
thoroughly with kitchen paper towel
will prevent them sticking together.
– Never season food before frying it.
Salt, seasoning, icing sugar, etc.
should be added after the food has
been removed from the basket and
drained of excess oil.
