The quality of the oil decreases with use at high temperatures. Food particles, water and
other liquids will further lower its quality, therefore:

17
VG FT 3012
•Do not mix different cooking oils.
•Only use fresh and clean cooking oils.
•Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying. Always use utensils that are safe to
immerse into hot oils without damaging the utensil or the appliance, and always
wear oven mitts when removing any burnt food particles.
•After use and before storage, filter oil with the integrated filtration system (see Oil
Filtration).
•Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly flavoured food.
•Some meats, such as chicken wings, will release large amounts of liquids when frying,
thus watering down the oil. Do not reuse this oil.
OIL FILTRATION
NOTES:
➢Filter the oil after each use. Store filtered oil properly (see Storing oil).
➢Dispose of the oil on a regular basis depending on oil quality (see Cooking with oil).
➢After switching off the appliance, wait at least 3 hours for the oil to cool down,
depending on the settings selected during use. Hotter oil will take longer to reach a
cool temperature.
➢Filtering the oil after each use will help prolong the life of the cooking oil, but it should
still be discarded if the oil has deteriorated after multiple uses. We estimate that oil, in
normal use, should be changed at least after every 10 uses.
•Ensure the oil container (15) is assembled, empty and in place inside the appliance.
•Once the oil has cooled down to room temperature, turn the oil filtration control
knob (14) to the FILTER OIL position (ill. r). The oil will start dripping into the oil
container (15). The oil filter cover (11) will keep food residues from being transferred
to the oil container (15).
•When all the oil has been filtered:
oTurn the oil filtration control knob (14) to the LOCK position if the container
will remain inside the appliance.
oTurn the oil filtration control knob (14) to UNLOCK position if the container is
to be removed from the appliance.
NOTES:
➢Always wait 3 to 4 hours until the oil has cooled down completely, before draining or
filtering.
➢Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance while the oil pan (9) and
oil container (15) are not both empty.
➢When removing the oil container (15) from the appliance, handle with care. Keep
the oil container (15) flat and hold it with both hands.

VG FT 3012
18
EMPTYING THE OIL CONTAINER
Filtered oil can be stored in a suitable container (see Storing oil) or reused for frying a new
batch of food (see Cooking with oil).
•Unscrew the cap (16) on top of the oil container (15) (ill. s).
•Slowly pour the oil container (15) content into a suitable container or the oil pan (9),
if required.
NOTES:
➢Ensure the oil filtration control knob (14) is on UNLOCK position before pouring oil into
the oil pan (9).
➢Tilt the oil container (15) upwards (vertical position) gradually to avoid leaks from the
side of the container.
➢Oil can be stored in the oil pan (9), inside the deep fryer or in another cool dry place
(see Storing oil).
•Screw the cap (16) back on top of the oil container (15).
•Insert the oil container (15) back into the appliance and turn the oil filtration control
knob (14) to the LOCK position to secure the oil container (15) in place (ill. t).
STORING OIL
•Do not store used cooking oil in the refrigerator. Choose a cool place that is not
subject to sunlight. Generally, oil can be stored for a period of up to 3 months after
the bottle is opened. Please respect the oil manufacturer’s storage instructions as
well.
HINTS AND TIPS
•Smaller quantities of food normally require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger
quantities of food.
•To reduce cooking time, defrost food prior to cooking. It is recommended that some
foods should not be thawed/defrosted prior to cooking, such as frozen fish, and
frozen chips.
•It is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check the cooking progress.
•In the event of food flare-ups, do not remove the lid (3) and do not remove the
frying basket (6). Instead, turn the temperature control knob (23) to the 0 position
and unplug the appliance.
•When the food you are cooking requires shaking, it is recommended to use a timer
set for half the suggested cooking time. This way, a bell will ring and remind you to
shake the frying basket (6).
•It is recommended to only use nylon, heat-proof plastic or wooden cooking utensils.
Metal utensils may become hot and damage the non-stick coating. Always remove
utensils from the appliance. Do not leave them in the appliance during use.

In order to preserve our environment and protect human health, the waste electrical and
electronic equipment should be disposed of in accordance with specific rules with the
implication of both suppliers and users. For this reason, as indicated by the symbol
on the rating label or on the packaging, your appliance should not be disposed of as
unsorted municipal waste. The user has the right to bring it to a municipal collection point
performing waste recovery by means of reuse, recycling or use for other applications in
accordance with the directive.
ERP DECLARATION –REGULATION 1275/2008/EC
We, TKG SRL, hereby confirm that our product meets the requirements of regulation
1275/2008/EC. Admittedly, our product does not dispose of a function to minimize the
power consumption, which should according to regulation 1275/2008/EC put the product
in off or standby mode after finishing the main function, but this is practically impossible,
as it would compromise the main function of the product so strongly, that using the
product would no longer be possible!
For this reason we always tell the customer in our instruction manual to unplug the
appliance immediately after use.
The user manual is by simple request also available in electronic format from the after-
sales service (see warranty card).
