ensure that there is sufficient oil or fat in the deep fat fryer every
time you intend to switch the appliance on.
► NEVER switch the appliance on if there is no oil or liquid fat in it.
► This deep fat fryer is suitable only for frying foodstuffs.
It is not designed for cooking liquids.
Before first use
1) Before you use the deep fat fryer for the first time please clean all individual com-
ponents 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 rapidly 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.

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 separate pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fat
fryer. When this has been done, 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 temperatures.
If the fat gets too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting! To avoid this, poke
a few holes into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic spatula. Ensure that
you do not damage the operating/heating element 0.
■ To melt the fat, switch on the appliance using the on/off switch 7and set
the temperature control 9to 130˚C. The integrated control lamp in the on/
off switch 7will light up.
■ Wait until all of the fat has melted. The green control lamp 8can 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
1) When the fried food is ready, press the lid release button 4and remove the lid.
2) Lift the frying basket 6and hook it onto the rim of the appliance so that
excess fat can drip off.
3) Press the on/off switch 7. The deep fat fryer is now switched off. Remove
the plug from the mains power socket.

Tips
Home-made chips
■ Potatoes intended for frying should be in good condition and not germinating.
■ Use potato varieties that are suitable for frying, such as “King Edward”,
“Maris Piper”, “Cara”, etc.
■ After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips
or slices).
■ Soak the potatoes for about one hour before frying. 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.
■ Always fry home-made potatoes twice:
–first for 10 - 14 minutes at 150°C then for 3 - 4 minutes at 170°C,
depending on the desired degree of browning.
■ Deep-frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once.
Comply with the instructions on the packaging.

Frozen foods
Deep-frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18°C) cool the oil or fat to a considerable extent,
because of this they do not cook fast enough and may also soak up too much oil
or fat. To avoid this, proceed as follows:
■ Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once. Do not fill the frying basket 6
to more than the maximum fill level marked on the inside of the basket.
■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.
■ Adjust the temperature control 9to the temperature specified in these
operating instructions or on the food’s packaging.
■ Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. 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 hinder unwanted aftertastes
Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being fried. These fluids
collect in the oil or fat and can influence the smell and taste of fried foods that
are later cooked in the same oil or fat.
Proceed as follows to obtain a neutral-tasting oil or fat:
■ Heat the fat or oil to 150°C and and place two thin slices of bread or a
couple of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket 6.
■ Lower the frying basket 6into 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
Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing
unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic acid). However, these oils and fats lose their
positive characteristics faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged
more frequently.
Orient yourself on the following guidelines:
■ Exchange 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 given on the packaging.
■ As a general rule, oils and fats cannot be used so often if you mainly fry
foods with lots of proteins, such as meat or fish.
■ Do not mix fresh oil with old oil.
■ Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated, if it develops a strong taste
or odour, if it becomes dark and/or if it develops a syrupy consistency.
Heat protection function
In a case of overheating, the heat protection function switches the appliance off.
This can happen if there is no, or not sufficient, oil or fat in the deep fat fryer or
when solid cooking fats are being melted in the appliance.
When using solid cooking fats, the control and heating element 0cannot give
off the heat that is generated quickly enough.
If the heat protection function has switched the appliance off, please proceed as
follows:
1) Allow the appliance to cool down.
2) Leave the oil or fat to cool (the fat should just be liquid).
3) Open the appliance lid by pressing on the lid release button 4.
4) Remove the frying basket 6.
5) Remove the operating/heating element 0.
6) Place the operating/heating element 0 in a clean and dry location.
Carefully press the reset button on the control and heating element 0with a
small pointed object.
The appliance can now be used again.
