Warning – Risk of fire!
When using the deep-fat fryer with solid fat, the element
may overheat. Melt deep-fat frying fat first at a low
temperature. Only set a higher temperature once the
deep-fat frying fat is largely melted.

Warning – Risk of fire!
If the minimum fill level is not met (bottom mark), the
element can overheat. Add oil or fat in good time.
Deep-fat frying
During deep-fat frying, the heat generated by the
appliance is transferred to the food being fried via the
fat. This rapid cooking process forms a tasty crust on
the food. The temperature range for deep-fat frying is
between 150 and 190 °C.
Notes
■
Break up the fresh frying fat into small pieces before
melting it. When reusing frying fat, make a hole in
the solid mass of fat (e.g. using the handle of a
wooden spoon) before melting it, pushing right down
to the heating element.
■
Only use pure vegetable oil or vegetable fat for
deep-fat frying. Avoid using blends of fat.
■
When frying fat may emit smoke as it melts. This is
normal.

Switch off the deep fryer and allow it to cool down.
2.
Fill the frying basin with at least 3 litres of frying oil/
fat.
3.
Push the safety pin on the front of the housing in
firmly (e.g. using a ball-point pen).
You can now use the deep fryer again.
Draining the frying oil/fat
If the food being fried is no longer becoming crispy
despite the temperature being set correctly, you need to
change the oil/fat.
:
Warning – Risk of burns!
Hot oil or fat may spray out from the drain valve during
draining. Allow the oil or fat to cool down until it is
lukewarm before draining.
1.
Place a heat-resistant container with a capacity of
over 4 litres under the drain valve.
2.
Open the drain valve underneath the deep fryer and
drain the used oil/fat.
Note:
Drain the fat while it is still warm and liquid. If the
fat solidifies in the drain valve, you can push it through
using a thin object such as the handle of a wooden
spoon.
Note:
Do not pour oil/fat down the sink or toilet;
dispose of it at designated collection points instead.
