Safety
Thermal safety cut-out
The app iance has been equipped with a therma safe-
ty cut-out that switches the app iance off if it overhe-
ats.This may happen if there is no oi or fat or not
enough oi or fat in the fryer or if b ocks of so id fat
are being me ted in the fryer, which wi prevent the
heating e ement from being ab e to give off the heat
produced quick y enough.
Take the fo owing measures when the therma safety
cut-out has switched the app iance off:
- Let the oi or fat coo down;
- Carefu y press the ‘reset’ button at the back of the
contro pane with a sma screwdriver (fig. 2).
Now the app iance is ready to be used again.
Safety switch
The safety switch in the contro pane ensures that
the heating e ement can on y be switched on if the
contro pane has been inserted correct y (‘C ick’)
(fig. 3).
Auto shut-off
The fryer wi switch off automatica y after 2 hours.
When this happens, the power-on ight in the on/off
switch wi go out.To switch the app iance back on,
press the on/off switch again.
Cool zone
During frying, oose food partic es co ect on the bot-
tom of the inner pot.As the heating e ement has
been p aced some distance above the bottom of the
inner pot and primari y heats the oi or fat above it,
the oi or fat between the bottom of the inner pot
and the heating e ement remains re ative y coo (coo
zone).This prevents the food partic es that end up in
this zone from burning, increasing the number of
times you can re-use the oi or fat.
Using solid fat
We advise you to use frying oi or iquid frying fat in
this app iance.You can a so use so id frying fat, but if
you do, you have to take the fo owing precautions to
prevent spattering of fat and overheating of the app i-
ance:
Use 3 kg of fat.
- If you want to use new b ocks of fat, me t them
s ow y over a ow heat in a norma pan.
- Pour the me ted fat carefu y into the fryer.
- Put the p ug in the wa socket and switch the fryer
on (see ‘Frying’).
• Store the fryer with the reso idified fat sti in it at
room temperature. If the fat gets very co d, it may
start spattering when me ted. Punch some ho es
into the reso idified fat with a fork to prevent this
(fig. 4). Be carefu not to damage the heating e e-
ment whi e doing so.
Before frying
- C ean the separate parts of the fryer thorough y
before you use the fryer for the first time (see
‘C eaning’).
- Put the app iance on a horizonta , even and stab e
surface.
• If you want to p ace the fryer on top of the cooker,
underneath the extractor hood, first check if the
rings of the cooker have been turned off.
- Take the entire cord from the cord storage com-
partment (fig. 5).
- Fi the dry and empty fryer with oi , iquid fat or
me ted so id fat (see ‘Using so id fat’ and ‘Tips’) to
the top indication mark on the inner pot:
3.5 itres (fig. 6).
• Never mix two different kinds of oil or fat!
- Put the p ug in the wa socket.
• Make sure the cord does not come into contact
with the hot parts of the app iance.
Frying
- Switch the fryer on by means of the on/off switch
(fig. 7).The power-on ight in the switch and the
pi ot ight of the thermostat wi go on (fig. 8).
- Set the temperature contro to the required tem-
perature (fig. 9). For information about which tem-
perature to se ect, check the package of the food to
be fried or the tab es in these instructions for use.
- The oi or fat wi be heated to the right tempera-
ture in 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whi e the app iance is heating up, the pi ot ight of
the thermostat wi come on and go out a number
of times.The pi ot ight wi continue to burn as
ong as the heating e ement is heating up. If the ight
stays out for some time, the oi or fat has reached
the preset temperature.
• The same procedure app ies if you want to fry a
number of batches in a row, so wait unti the pi ot
ight has been out for some time before you start
frying the next batch.
• If you are using oi or iquid fat, you can eave the
basket in the fryer whi e the fryer is heating up.
Of course you can a so eave the basket in the fryer
if the fryer contains fat that has so idified around
