Before the First Use
1) Before you use the deep fryer for the first time please clean all individual
components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see chapter “Cleaning and
Care”).
2) Pull the timer qout from the deep fryer.
3) Open the battery compartment, take out the battery and remove the insula-
tion strips from the battery compartment.
4) Insert the battery so that the side with “+” is facing upwards. Slide the bat-
tery compartment cover back on so that it engages.
5) Slide the timer qback into its recess in the deep fryer.
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.
Frying
We recommend frying oil or liquid frying fat for use in this deep fryer. You can
also use solid cooking fats. For this, first read the chapter “Solid Cooking Fats”.
Preparation
1) Place the appliance on a horizontal, level, stable and heat resistent surface.
NOTICE
► If you wish to place the deep fryer below the extraction fan of the cooker,
ensure that the cooker is switched off.
2) Unwind all of the power cable from the power cable retainer 7.
3) Open the appliance lid by pressing on the lid release button 6. The appli-
ance lid flips open.

Solid Cooking Fats
To avoid a spraying of the fat and that the appliance becomes too hot, please
take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:
■ When replacing old fat with fresh, first melt the fresh blocks of fat slowly,
under low heat, in a separate pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into
the deep fryer. When this has been done, insert the plug into a mains power
socket and switch the deep fryer on.
■ After use, store the deep fryer with the solidified fat at room temperatures.
Should the fat become 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 no damage is caused to the heating element 5.
■ To melt the fat, switch the appliance on with the On/Off switch 0and then
adjust the temperature regulator 8to 130˚C. The control lamp integrated
into the On/Off switch 0 starts to glow.

Tips
Home-made chips
■ Potatoes intended for frying should be faultless and not germinating.
■ Use potato varieties suitable for frying, such as “King Edward”, “Morris
Piper”, “Cara” etc.
■ After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips
or slices).
■ Soak the potatoes for ca. one hour before frying. This will help remove a
portion of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the
formation of acrylamides.
■ Carefully dry the potatoes.
■ Always fry home-made potatoes twice:
–first for 10-12 minutes at 160°C then for 3-4 minutes at 170°C, de-
pending 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 considerabe extent,
because of this they do not cook fast enough and possibly also soak up too
much oil of fat. To avoid these occurences, proceed as follows:
■ Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once. The food to be fried must be
completely covered with cooking oil/fat after lowering the frying basket 3.
■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting the frozen foodstuffs.
■ Adjust the temperature regulator 8to the temperature specified in these
operating instructions or on the packaging of the foodstuff.
■ Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. Remove
as much ice and water as possible before inserting the food into the deep
fryer.

15
SKF 2300 B2
GB
IE
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Always close the appliance lid before lowering the frying basket 3into the
hot oil or fat. There is a risk of fire caused by splashing fat!
■ Always insert the foodstuffs as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep
fryer, as deep frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble heftily and
abruptly.
How to remove undesirable after-tastes
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 again obtain a neutral tasting oil or fat:
■ Heat the fat or oil to 160°C and and place two thin slices of bread or a
couple of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket 3.
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Absolutely close the appliance lid before lowering the frying basket 3with
the parsley or the bread into hot oil or fat. Splattering fats can cause serious
burns.
■ Close the appliance lid and then lower the frying basket 3into the fat.
■ Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or pars-
ley 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. Linol acid). However, these oils and fats lose their
positive characteristics faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged
more frequently.
Orientate yourself on the following guidelines:
■ Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep 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 an oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow
the instruction given on the packaging.
■ As a general rule, oils and fats can be used for a lesser time 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, it develops a strong taste
or odour, it becomes dark and/or it develops a syrupy consistency.

Overheat Protection
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 fryer or
when solid cooking fats are being molten in the appliance.
With solid cooking fats the heating element 5 cannot disburse the heat created
fast 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 6.
4) Remove the frying basket 3.
5) Remove the control/heating element 5.
6) Place the operating/heating element 5at a clean and dry location.
7) Carefully press the reset button ton the rear side of the operating/heating
element 5with a small pointed object.
The appliance can now be used again.
