USEFUL HINTS
1. Before each use remove any food particles (e.g. pieces of french fries).
2. After the device has been used several times you should change the oil.
• Use high quality frying oil or frying grease.
3. Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures. DO NOT use
margarine, olive oil or butter: They are not fit for frying, because they start
to smoke at low temperatures.
• We recommend oil specifically designated as frying oil.
4. In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food containing starch
(potatoes, cereals) the temperature during deep-fat frying should not
exceed 340° F. Furthermore, the frying time should be kept as short as
possible and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.
5. PLEASE NOTE that the SAFETY BUTTON (8) is operated when the
control element is inserted into the guide mechanism.
6. Choose the right frying temperature and check the conditions of the food to
be fried. A rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature
than raw foods.
7. DO NOT CARRY OR MOVE THE DEEP FRYER IF THE OIL OR GREASE
IS STILL HOT.
8. When frying dough-like foods, scrape off the excess dough and put the
pieces carefully into the oil.
9. Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying basket has been
correctly attached. (FIGURE 1 -
Page 2
)
10. The deep fat FRYING BASKET must not be more than 2/3 full. DO NOT
overfill the frying basket.
11. Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before frying.
12. When frying high moisture foods keep LID off and allow oil to completely
cool before replacing LID.
CAUTION:
In the case of foodstuffs which are too moist (e.g. frozen chips etc.) large
amounts of foam may form, which under certain circumstances may cause the
oil to overflow.
