OPERATION - Baking times for unfrozen foods
Please note that these times are approximations and may vary depending on quantity, quality and personal
preference. If baking instructions are noted on the food’s packaging we advise you to follow these in order
to get the best results.
Table 1
TIME TEMPERATURE
Fries * Phase 1 6 – 8 min 160°
Phase 2 6 – 8 min 190°
Calamari 9 – 11 min 150°

* Fresh fries need to be baked in two phases. Firstly, 6-8 minutes on 160 degrees and then 6-8 minutes
on 190 degrees.
OPERATION - Baking times for frozen foods
Whenever you submerge frozen foods into the fryer the temperature will quickly decrease. Therefore, it’s
important to set a higher temperature. The frying time will also decrease because of this.
Please note that these times are approximations and may vary depending on quantity, quality and personal
preference. If baking instructions are noted on the food’s packaging we advise you to follow these in order
to get the best results.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Replacing the oil or liquid fat
The quality of the oil or liquid fat deteriorates every time you use the deep fryer. For this reason you will need
to replace the oil or liquid fat at regular intervals. Topping up the oil or liquid fat will not improve the quality.
Use good quality oil or liquid fat.
ATTENTION: Never using solid fats (blocks)
ATTENTION: Only use oil or liquid fats specifically suitable for frying
Replace the oil or liquid fat when:
• It becomes darker in color
• It becomes thicker in consistency
• small air bubbles are seen that take a long time to disappear (in new, fresh liquid fat the air bubbles are
large and they also disappear rapidly).
• The fried food has an unpleasant or strange taste or smell
• The appliance emits more smoke than usual
