liquid fat up to the minimum level mark.
The fat should be cut into smaller pieces
fi rst 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.
Frying basket
The basket is designed to hold the food
to be fried. Ensure that the basket is not
over-fi lled.
The deep fryer can accommodate a
maximum of 500 g of chips (French fries).
Please refer to Useful hints for deep-frying.
With the lid closed, the basket can be
lowered into the hot oil from the outside by
its handle. To lower the basket, use the lock/
release button integrated in the handle and
move the handle down.
To raise the basket clear of the oil, move the
handle upwards until it locks in a horizontal
position.
Timer
By turning the timer clockwise, the intended
operating time can be set. With the timer set
to position 'I', the appliance is permanently
switched on. To switch off, turn the timer back
to its '0'-position.
When setting the cooking time to less than
10 minutes, turn the timer to a greater value
fi rst and then turn it slowly back to the desired
setting. After the pre-programmed time has
elapsed, a sound signal is heard and the
appliance is automatically switched off.
Temperature control
By means of the temperature control knob,
the temperature can be set to the desired
level.
Indicator lamps
The main indicator lamp shows that the
appliance is in operation and remains lit as
long as the appliance is connected to the
mains and the timer is active.
Once the pre-set temperature level has been
reached, the temperature indicator lamp lights
up.
As soon as the temperature falls below
a certain level, heating will resume as
indicated by the lamp.
