SKF 2800 B3
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”).
2) Pull the timer wout of the deep fryer.
3) Remove the insulation strip from the battery compartment.

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.
Deep frying
We recommend cooking oil or liquid cooking fat for use in this deep fat fryer.
You can also use solid cooking fats. Read the chapter “Solid Cooking Fats” for
more information.

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 5.
■ To melt the fat, switch on the appliance using the on/off switch qand set
the temperature control 8to 130˚C. The integrated control lamp in the
on/off switch qwill light up.
■ Wait until all of the fat has melted. The green control lamp 0can come on
and go out several times during this process. Do not set the desired frying
temperature until all of the fat has melted.

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 3
to more than the maximum fill level marked on the inside of the basket. After
lowering the frying basket 3, the food must be completely covered by the
oil/fat.
■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.
■ Adjust the temperature control 8to 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.
WARNING! RISK OF BURNS!
Always close the appliance lid rbefore lowering the frying basket 3
into the hot oil or fat. There is a risk of burns from splashing fat!
■ 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.
