Take special care to defrost deep-
frozen food thoroughly before frying.
Moisture reduces the life-span of
frying oil.
5. For good results, the right temperature
setting is a decisive factor when deep-
frying food. If the oil is not suffi ciently
hot, the food may take in too much oil.
It is therefore best to insert the food
basket only once the pre-heating period
is complete. If the oil is too hot, on
the other hand, an outer crust will be
built up while the inner part of the food
remains uncooked
6. Deep-frozen or chilled food should
be briefl y inserted into the hot oil
once or twice before the actual
cooking process begins.
7. Do not fry too much food at once.
Each item should be able to fl oat freely
without touching any other.
8. When cooking battered food, make sure
that the batter is fi rmly attached to the
food and any excess fl our is removed.
9. Over-used frying oil is easily
recognisable as it is of a darker
colour and more viscous, giving off an
unpleasant smell or tending to foam.
10. Over-used frying oil or oil containing a
residue of particles from earlier use is
more infl ammable and tends to ignite
easily. It is therefore best to change the
oil after 3 or 4 cycles of use. However,
its life-span depends mainly on the kind
and quantity of food fried.
11. The life span can be extended if the oil
is fi ltered after each cycle of use.
12. The oil may be stored inside the deep
fryer if the unit is kept closed and put in
a cool place.

Water collection container
Any condensation building up on the inside
of the lid is collected in the container, which
can be emptied during cleaning.
To fi t the collection container, position it
underneath the lid hinge, then push it in and
slide it down into place.
To empty the container, lift it up and pull it
out.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has completely cooled down.
∙ Caution: to avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not clean the outside of the
fryer or its power cord with any liquids and
do not immerse either of them in water.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙ The lid may be removed for cleaning by
fi rst pulling it up into a vertical position,
then closing it slightly and pulling it out.
∙ The lid contains a grease fi lter which
must be replaced after several frying
cycles. Release the fi lter cover and take
out the old fi lter. Clean the lid using a
damp cloth and a little detergent. Wipe
thoroughly dry afterwards. Insert a new
fat fi lter and replace the fi lter cover.
Replacement fi lters can be ordered
through the Severin Service Centre.
Insert the new fat fi lter and replace the
fi lter compartment cover.
∙ To remove the fat from the container, wait
until it has cooled down suffi ciently but
is still liquid. Then pour it into a suitable
heat-resistant container. The fat can be
fi ltered by pouring it through absorbent
paper placed into a heat-resistant funnel
or in the frying basket itself.
