prOpertieS OF yOur new Deep Fryer
Frying is a gentle way of cooking even delicate food that will easily degrade. Your new
Deep Fryer heats up cooking oil to a freely selectable temperature of up to 195 °C. Due to
the exactly controlled temperature setting, you will always get the best results. As soon as the
preselected temperature is reached, the food can be heated swimming in the hot oil bath, thus
being cooked evenly at all sides.
However, the drawback of this cooking technique is an increased fat content in fried food. To
overcome this disadvantage as far as possible, your new Deep Fryer is equipped with a spin-
ning feature. This way, by hurling out surplus oil, the fat content of your meals can be reduced
by one third, compared to other frying techniques. Thus you can enjoy fried meals that are
easier to digest with less calories.
Safety Concept
warninG:
For your protection and convenience, your new Deep Fryer is equipped with va-
rious safety features. Do not attempt to damage or by-pass the safety interlocks! Do not attempt
to operate the appliance using others than the designated parts (e.g. oil container, basket).
Overheat protection
At the back of the control unit is a thermal cut-out that prevents overheating. If the fryer does
not heat up, the thermal cut-out could have been triggered and switched off the control unit.
This could occur, for example, if the fryer has been operated with an insufficient amount of oil
in the oil container. To re-start the appliance:
1.
Switch off (temperature dial to MIN), and unplug the appliance. Wait until the appliance
and oil cooled down.
2.
Open the lid.
iMpOrtant:
Keep in mind that oil could drip from the basket and heating rods when taking
out these parts.
3.
Take out the basket and place it, for example, on a flat dish.
4.
Take out the control unit (see: ›Disassembling the Appliance‹). At the rear (pointing towards
the housing of the appliance) is a small red reset button.
5.
Press the reset button.
6.
Ensure that the filling level in the oil container is between the MIN and MAX filling level
marks. Reassemble the control unit and basket. Thereafter, you can operate the appliance
quite normally (see: ›Operation‹).
If the thermal cut-out is triggered again after short operation without any apparent reason,
send the appliance to an authorized service centre for repair.
Connector of the Control unit
The control unit is connected via a separate electric power socket that is mounted at the
housing. Thus, the fryer operates only with the control unit assembled properly in the housing.
Safety interlocks
This appliance features a special oil container interlock: The container release slider must be
properly locked before use. Otherwise, you cannot close the lid.
To avoid injuries and damage due to splashes of hot oil, the centrifuge will work only with the
lid properly closed. Additionally, the basket must be locked in the upper position.
Fireproof Filter in the lid
When heating oil, there is always a risk that vapours of hot oil could catch fire. To avoid this
as far as possible, the appliance is equipped with a fireproof filter in the lid, retaining splashes
and a lot of vapour.
warninG:
Only use the designated filters with the appliance. Do not operate the appliance
with unsuited filters to avoid risk of fire!
non-Slip pads and Suckers
The base of the appliance is coated with non-slip mats. Additionally four suckers are used as
legs. Thus the appliance gets a stable standing on smooth, dry and fat-free surfaces. This way,
vibrations due to the spinning process of the centrifuge are damped and, as far as possible,
the appliance will not move around excessively during spinning. However, please keep in
mind that it is not possible to completely prevent the appliance from moving, especially when
spinning large pieces. Thus, always keep the appliance in sufficient distance from the edge of
the table or counter. Additionally, do not operate the appliance unattended.
tips for Best results
Only use high-grade frying oils (e.g. rapeseed, corn, or groundnut oil). Frequently, poor-
quality oils contain too much protein and carbohydrate, leading to degradation when heated.
Also, oils containing a lot of highly unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. some high-quality salad oils)
are prone to premature degradation when heated.
We strongly recommend avoiding the usage of solid frying fat (e.g. Palmin, coconut butter),
because you will have to melt the fat before applying it to the appliance and cleaning after
use could be difficulty.
To avoid early degradation of the oil, do not add salt or spices to the oil. Additionally, if possi-
ble, salt and spices should be added to your food after frying. Otherwise, you should change
the oil more frequently.
As a rule of thumb, you should change the frying oil after frying 8 to 12 times; but this depends
on the quality of the oil and the types of food, you have fried. If required, store the oil in the
refrigerator. Do
nOt
leave oil in the appliance.
Do not cook food with wet batter using the basket. The basket will trap the batter and prevent
successful circulation of oil because the batter will form a shell on the basket. It is also quite
hard to clean the net of the basket. To cook battered food, open the lid and remove the basket.
Carefully cook only a few pieces per batch. Do not cook the food completely, only harden
the batter shell. Beware of oil spattering when adding batter to the oil. Cook until desired
consistency with the basket. Thereafter you can try to spin your food with speed setting LOW.
Always try LOW spinning speed and shorter time for fragile or soft food to see whether it can
withstand HIGH spinning speed.
