litres. Please observe the maximum

Solidified fat:
Never melt solidified fat in an empty
fryer. However, solidified fat may be
added straight into the frying container,
if it already contains liquid fat up to the
minimum level mark.
When using solidified fat, approx. 3
kg is needed. The fat should be cut
into smaller pieces first and melted
in a separate pot, ensuring that it
just reaches a liquid state but is not
over-heated: this is to avoid the danger
of burns when pouring the fat into the
frying container afterwards. Please
observe the maximum mark.
Removable heating element
∙ Before the appliance is connected to the
mains, the power cord must be pulled
out to its full length from the storage
compartment, and the heating element
must be fitted into the corresponding
guide slots at the rear of the unit.
∙ The deep fryer is equipped with a safety
switch; however, it must be operated
only with the heating element and frying
container fitted.
Frying basket
∙ The basket holds the food to be fried;
the max. capacity is 400 g of French
fries.
∙ The handle must be fitted to the basket
before use: press the two arms together
and slide the two angled pieces through
the support inside the basket. Pull the
handle back until both of the angled
pieces fit laterally into the indents on the
basket so that they are safely locked.
∙ Once frying is complete, the basket can
be placed on the rim of the container,
using the holding bracket provided; this
position allows the oil/fat to drain back
into the container (see picture).
Using the deep fryer
∙ Fit the frying container and heating
element as described.
∙ Fill the container with oil/fat.
∙ Replace the lid.
∙ Insert the plug.
∙ Select the desired temperature.
∙ As soon as the green indicator lamp lights
up, put the food to be fried into the basket,
remove the lid and lower the basket
carefully into the hot oil/fat.
∙ Replace the lid if necessary.
∙ Monitor the cooking process and, once
frying is complete, lift the basket out and
let the oil/fat drain off.
∙ After frying is completed, turn the
temperature control knob back to its
lowest position and remove the plug
from the wall socket.
Useful hints for deep-frying
∙ To prevent the oil/fat from frothing
over, make sure that the food is
thoroughly dried. Take special care to
defrost deep-frozen food thoroughly
before frying. Moisture reduces the
life-span of frying oil/fat.
∙ For good results, the right temperature
setting is a decisive factor when deep-
frying. If the oil/fat is not sufficiently
hot, the food may take in too much oil/
fat. It is therefore best to insert the food
