• Heat the fat or oil to 160°C and place
two thin slices of bread or a couple of
small sprigs of parsley into the deep
fryer. Wait until the oil or fat is no
longer bubbling and remove the bread
or parsley with a skimmer. The oil or
fat now has a neutral taste once
again.
Important:
Absolutely close the
appliance lid before lowering the
frying basket with the parsley or the
bread into hot oil or fat. Splattering
fats can lead to serious burns.
Healthy Nutrition
Nutritional experts recommend the use
of vegetable oils and fats containing
unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. Linol acid).
However, these oils and fats lose their
positive characteristics faster than other
oils and must therefore be exchanged
more frequently. Orientate yourself on
the following guidelines:
• Change the oil or fat regularly. If you
use the deep fryer mainly to prepare
chips and strain the oil or fat after every
use, it can be used 10 to 12 times.
• Never use the oil or fat for longer than
six months however. Always follow the
instruction given on the packaging.
• As a general rule, oil or fats can only
be in use for a short period if they are
predominantly used for the frying of
high protein foods such as meat or fish.
• Do not mix fresh oil with used oil.
• Always change the oil or fat if it foams
on heating, it develops a strong taste
or aroma or when it turns dark and/or
takes on a syrup-like consistency.
Overheat Protection
In a case of overheating, the heat pro-
tection function switches the appliance
off. The control lamp
then glows only
on the left side.
This can happen if there is no, or not
sufficient, oil or fat in the deep fryer
or when solid cooking fats are being
molten in the appliance.
With solid cooking fats the heating ele-
ment cannot disburse the heat created
fast enough.
If the heat protection function has swit-
ched the appliance off, please proceed
as follows:
• Allow the oil or fat to cool down.
• Carefully press the reset button
on
the rear side of the operating element
with a small pointed object. The app-
liance can now be used again.
