safely heated to high temperatures. The
maximum safe capacity of the container
is approx. 3 litres. Please observe the
maximum mark.
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
are 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.
The deep fryer is equipped with a safety
switch, ensuring that the appliance can be
operated only if the heating element and
frying container are fitted.
Switching the deep fryer On/Off (Timer)
The timer serves to switch on the appliance.
By turning the timer clockwise, the intended
running-time of the appliance can be set.

Before inserting the plug into a wall socket
and using the timer to turn the appliance on,
ensure that

element have been fitted as instructed
and
- the frying container has been filled with
oil/fat to a safe level.
After frying is completed, turn the
temperature control knob back to its lowest

Temperature control knob
The temperature control is used to select the
desired temperature level.
Temperature indicator lamp
During the heating-up process, the red
temperature indicator lamp lights up.
As soon as the frying temperature is
reached, the heating element switches off
and the temperature indicator lamp goes
out.
Frying basket
The basket is designed to hold the food to be
fried.
The basket handle must be unfolded from
the frying container before use.
Capacity
We recommend a limit of 600g of chips for
deep frying. Please refer to Useful hints for
deep-frying.
Inserting the frying basket:
- Take off the lid.
- Use the basket handle to hang the frying
basket onto its holding bracket inside the
frying container.
- Replace the lid.
- Slightly lift up the basket to clear the
holding bracket, and then lower it
carefully into the hot oil/fat.
Removing the frying basket / drain position:
- Take off the lid.
- Use the basket handle to lift up the
basket and place it onto the holding
bracket; this position allows the oil/fat to
drain back into the container (see picture
I).
- Once the excess oil has been drained off,
lift out the basket and, if frying is
completed, replace the lid.
