8. Make sure that the food to be fried is dry in order to avoid
splattering or foaming of the oil. Dab the damp food dry with a
paper towel and remove ice from frozen foods.
9. Fill the prepared food to be fried in the frying basket. The food
inside the frying basket must be completely covered by oil,
otherwise it cannot be fried successfully.
10. Do not overll the frying basket. The food to be fried should be
distributed over the entire surface of the frying basket in order to
ensure even frying.
11. Slowly lower the basket into the oil and lose the lid again,
12. Check through the viewing window (2) whether the food to be
fried has reached the desired degree of browning and raise
the frying basket after the frying time has expired. Switch the
temperature control (8) to the Off position if you are satised with
the frying results and no further frying procedure is to follow. Then
disconnect the device from the mains.
13. Open the lid (1) and lift the frying basket (4) and let the oil/fat
drain. Caution! The deep fryer is very hot. Hot steam can escape
and hot oil/fat can spray out.
14. Remove the frying basket (4) carefully out of the deep fryer. Line
a bowl or sieve with paper towels and ll with the fried food. The
excess oil/fat will be absorbed by the paper towel.

3. Assemble the device correctly before putting it into operation.
4. Place the device on a at, sturdy and heat-resistant surface. A
circumference of at least a 15 cm distance around the device
should be maintained. Keep ammable materials away from this
device (e.g. curtains, textiles, walls). Keep the device out of the
reach of spraying water.
Assembling the Fry Basket
1. Squeeze the handle prongs together and slide the feet into the
slots on the side of the basket.
2. Continue to squeeze the prongs as you pull the handle back
toward you, to lock into place.
Note: Always check that the handles are locked into position
before cooking with oil.
Filling frying vat
1. Open the lid (1).
2. Place the frying vat (12) in the fryer.
3. Fill at least 1L (MIN) and maximum 1.2L (MAX) of good quality oil
into the frying vat (12). The oil level must be between the MIN and
MAX marking (inside the frying vat).
4. Attention! Never switch the device on if there is too little or no oil
in the frying vat. It could become damaged.
Frying with oil and fat
1. Use only high-temperature resistant, neutral avour frying oil
(vegetable oil) or frying fat (vegetable fat) which can be heated
to about 220°C. Palm oil, hydrogenated vegetable oils and fats,
rened oils (corn oil, soya oil, and sunower oil) for example are
all suitable. Cold-pressed and unrened oils/fats such as virgin
olive oil, butter and margarine are not suitable.
2. Attention! Never mix different oil or fat types together and never
mix fresh oil or fat with oil or fat which has already been used.
3. Warning: never melt fat in the fryer.
4. You can keep solid fat at room temperature in the closed deep
fryer. When you reheat the fat in the deep fryer, prick holes in the
fat in advance with a fork to avoid the fat from splattering. Take
care not to damage the frying vat (12). Close the lid (1) and then
warm the fat at low heat.
5. Dangerofre! Edible oil and fat can ignite at temperatures which
are too high.
6. If the oil/fat ignites, pull the plug (7) immediately. Never pour
water into hot or burning oil/fat. Close the lid of the deep fryer if it
is possible to do so safely. You can try to smother the re with a
blanket or re-ghting foam.
Frying foods
1. Ensure that the oil/fat level is between the MIN and MAX marking.
2. You can monitor the frying process through the viewing window
(2) in the lid (1). Apply some fat from the inside on the viewing
window in order to prevent that the window gets steamed up.
3. Connect the plug (7) to a suitable power outlet. The red operation
indicator Power (10) lights up.
4. Select the required temperature using the temperature control
(8) and wait until the deep fryer has been preheated. More
information regarding required temperature can be found on the
packaging of the food to be fried or in the Frying chart section.
5. The indicator light HEAT (6) lights up and shows that the device
is heating up. Once the set temperature is reached, the indicator
light goes out.
6. As soon as the temperature falls below the pre-selected
2. Do not move or transport this device if it is lled with hot oil/fat.
There is a danger of burning from splattering oil/fat. Wait until the
oil/fat has cooled off completely.
3. Danger of burns! The temperature of the surfaces which can be
touched can become very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces of the
device (e.g. viewing window, metal parts).
4. Hot steam rises and escapes through the steam outlet in the lid
during frying. Keep hands and face at a safe distance from the
steam and open the lid with special caution. Never cover the
steam outlets.
5. Avoid contact of water and/or ice with oil or fat. This leads to
strong splattering or foaming of oil/fat during frying. Dab moist
foods dry with a paper towel and remove ice from frozen foods.
Make sure that all parts of the deep fryer are dry before putting
the oil/fat into the device.
6. The oil or fat level in the deep fryer vat must be between the MIN
and MAX markings (inside).
7. Use only oil or fat that is suitable for frying.
8. Do not mix different types of oil or fat because it can cause the
deep fryer to overow.
9. Never overll the frying basket with food and do not place any
cutlery or kitchen tools in the device.
10. Do not put plastic cutlery into hot fat. Do not ll hot fat into a
plastic container. It could melt.
11. Attention! Change the oil/fat at regular intervals. Old or
contaminated oil could ignite itself if overheated.
12. Make sure that there are not any ammable items above or near
the device. If the oil/fat ignites, pull the plug immediately and
close the lid in order to smother the ames. Never pour water into
hot or burning oil/fat.
13. To avoid or reduce acrylamide, we recommend that foods be fried
until they are golden yellow rather than dark or brown and that
burnt residues be removed. Fry starchy foods, especially grain
and potato products, at a maximum of 170°C.
14. Unplug the device after use and let the oil/fat cool off sufciently
before inserting or removing accessories and before cleaning or
storing the device.
