CAUTION! APPLIANCE DAMAGE!
► When filling the frying container with fat, never fill it to
above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking.
Whenever you intend to switch the appliance on, first ensure
that there is sufficient oil or fat in the deep fat fryer.
► Never switch the appliance on if there is no oil or liquid fat
in it. Otherwise the appliance may overheat.
► This deep fat fryer is suitable only for frying foodstuffs. It is
not designed for cooking liquids.
NOTE
► No user action is required to switch the product between
50 and 60 Hz. The product adapts automatically to either
50 or 60 Hz.
Before first use
Before you use the deep fat fryer for the first time, please clean all individual
components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see chapter “Cleaning and
care”).
Low-acrylamide cooking
Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with
amino acids when frying foodstuffs with a high starch content. The formation
of acrylamide increases dramatically at temperatures of more than 175°C.
You should therefore avoid frying foodstuffs with a high starch content, for
example chips, at temperatures above 170°C. The foodstuffs should only be
fried to golden-yellow, instead of dark or brown. This is the only way to achieve
low-acrylamide cooking.

■ 8 │ GB│IE SFM 850 A5

■ 12 │ GB│IE SFM 850 A5
Solid cooking fats
To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming too hot, please
take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:
■ When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly, under low
heat, in a normal saucepan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep
fat fryer. Only when this has been done should you insert the plug into a
mains power socket and switch the deep fat fryer on.
■ After use, store the deep fat fryer with the solidified fat at room temperature.
■ If the fat gets too cold, it could splatter out upon re-melting! To avoid this,
pierce a few holes in the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic skewer.
Ensure that you do not damage the frying container coating 2.
■ To melt the fat, plug the appliance into the mains power socket, set the on/
off switch 8to the “I” position and turn the temperature control 5to
130˚C. The Power control lamp 7lights up.
■ Wait until all of the fat has melted. The Ready control lamp 6may come on
and go out several times during this process. Do not set the desired frying
temperature until all of the fat has melted.
After frying
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
► Never touch the frying basket qdirectly after deep frying. It is extremely
hot! Lift the frying basket qout of the deep fat fryer only by the handles 0!
1) When the fried food is ready, press the lid release button 9so that the lid
pops open.

Tips
Home-made chips
NOTE
► Approx. 450 g of freshly cut chips can be added to the frying basket q
(up to the MAX mark).
■ The potatoes you plan to fry should be in good condition and not germinating.
■ Use potato varieties that are suitable for frying, such as those that are
“floury” or “waxy”.
■ After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips
or wedges).
■ Soak the potatoes for about one hour prior to use. This will help remove part
of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the formation
of acrylamide.
■ Carefully dry the potatoes.

GB│IE │ 17 ■
SFM 850 A5
Deep-frozen foods
Deep-frozen foodstuffs (-16°C to -18°C) cool the oil or fat to a considerable
extent, because of this they do not sear fast enough and may therefore soak up
too much oil or fat. To avoid this, proceed as follows:
■ Do not attempt to deep-fry large amounts all at once. Do not fill the frying
basket qto more than the maximum fill level marked on the inside of the
basket. This equates to around 450 g of frozen chips.
■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.
■ Adjust the temperature control 5to the temperature specified in these
operating instructions or on the food’s packaging.
■ Preferably, allow the deep-frozen food to thaw at room temperature prior to
deep-frying. Remove as much ice and water as possible before adding the
food into the deep fat fryer.
■ Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat fryer,
as deep-frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble violently and
abruptly.
How to prevent unwanted aftertaste
Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being deep-fried. These
fluids collect in the oil or fat and can impair the smell and taste of foods that are
deep-fried in the same oil or fat afterwards.
Proceed as follows to obtain neutral-tasting oil or fat:
■ Heat the fat or oil to 150°C and place two thin slices of bread or a couple
of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket q.
■ Lower the frying basket qinto the fat and close the lid.
■ Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley
with a skimmer. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.
Healthy nutrition
Nutrition experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing
unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic acid). However, these oils and fats lose their
beneficial properties faster than other oils and must therefore be replaced more
frequently. Orient yourself on the following guidelines:
■ Replace the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep fat fryer mainly to
prepare chips and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used
10 to 12 times.
■ However, do not use the oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow
the instructions provided on the packaging.
