■
Never melt a large block of solid fat in the frying container directly! If the fat has be-
come solid after it was last used in the frying container, poke holes in it using a fork
and then warm it up on the lowest temperature setting.
■
When preparing frozen food, lower the frying basket slowly and carefully into the hot
fat so that it does not bubble over. Keep a suf
fi
cient distance away from the device
in order to avoid burns caused by splashes of hot fat.
■
Do not place food in the device wrapped in cling
fi
lm or plastic bags.
Preparing Food
• Cut the food into pieces of equal size so that they cook evenly. Avoid pieces which
are too thick.
• Make sure that the food which is used is dry. This will prevent the fat splashing or
bubbling up unnecessarily.
• Frozen food must be well shaken before being deep-fried in order to remove any loo-
se chunks of ice. Tip: Frozen chips will be crispier if you rinse them with cold water
and then carefully dry them before deep-frying them.
• To make particularly crispy chips from fresh potatoes, do the following:
fi
rst wash the
potatoes after peeling them under cold water in order to remove the starch in the po-
tatoes. Then dry the chips fully before you deep-fry them. This will make your chips
extra crispy and stop them sticking together when they are deep-fried.
Deep-Frying
• You will
fi
nd information about cooking times and cooking temperatures on the
device. Please note that the stated temperatures and times are guideline
fi
gu-
res. These
fi
gures may vary depending on the quality and size of the food used
and depending on whether the food is raw or frozen.
• The cooking times also depend on your personal taste of course: If you prefer
your food darker or lighter, softer or crispier, adapt the stated cooking times to
re
fl
ect your own personal taste.
• Do not over
fi
ll the frying basket! An over
fi
lled frying basket lowers the tempera-
ture in the device, which means that your food will absorb too much fat and not
go crispy. If frozen food is used, the quantity must be reduced.
• When you deep-fry frozen food, follow the manufacturer's speci
fi
cations on the
packaging for details of the cooking temperatures and cooking times.
1. Place the device on a dry and heat-resistant,
fl
at surface a suf
fi
cient distance away
from
fl
ammable objects, splashing water and heat sources.
2. Open up the lid.
NOTE: The fondue ring must not be attached when deep-fry-
ing.
3. Pour approx. 0.75 l of oil or melted fat into the frying container. The quantity must
not be below the
MIN
marking or exceed the
MAX
marking in the frying container.
4. Close the lid.
5. Check whether the temperature controller is in the
OFF
position and insert the mains
plug into a properly installed 220 - 240 volt socket with earthing contacts.
6. Set the temperature controller to the desired temperature. The control lamp lights
up.
