This holds also for any heavy food (e.g. large pieces of beef), which may lead to excessive
vibration of the appliance. Cut too large pieces before cooking. Try to get an even distribution
in the basket, when filling in.
Excessive vibration of whole appliance may be caused by
• un-balance distribution
• overloading with food
• or too large pieces (e.g. whole chicken legs; huge piece of chicken breast).
Cut the food into 2 or 3 pieces before frying. Always cook and spin food according to recom-
mended weight in the following table. Spinning of overloaded or unbalance distribution of
food could lead to hazard due to spilled hot oil.
Dry damp food before frying. You can cook frozen food in the fryer. However, remove any
loose ice first. Do not let the air get to frozen food for a long time period before cooking.
Otherwise, a layer of ice will coat the food, causing the oil to extremely froth and splash, when
lowering the food into the oil.
The frying time and temperature table below is for reference only and should be adjusted for
different quantity of food and your own taste.

warninG: DO nOt let young children play with the appliance, or any part
of it, or the packaging!
1.
Unpack the appliance and all accessories carefully.
2.
Check that no parts are damaged or missing (see: ›Knowing Your Vita Spin Deep Fryer‹).
3.
Carefully remove all shipping materials and promotional materials, but
DO nOt
remove
the model label. Especially ensure that there are no foreign objects (e.g. packaging material)
in the interior of the oil container or basket.
warninG:
Always switch off (temperature dial to MIN), unplug, and let the appliance cool
down, before cleaning. Do not immerse the housing, control unit, or power cord in water or
other liquids or spill any liquids on the housing, control unit, or power cord. Do not place the
housing, control unit, or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.
4.
Before first use and after a longer period of storage, clean the appliance and its parts (see:
›Care and Cleaning‹).
OperatiOn
warninG:
Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and accessories are
out of
reach of young children.
The appliance is intended for heating food. Therefore, the appliance and its contents will get
very hot during operation. Always observe the following safety precautions to avoid injuries
and damage.
When heating oil, there is always a risk that
vapours of hot oil could catch fire.
Always
keep all types of source of ignition (e.g. burning cigarettes, candles) in appropriate distance
from the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire and damage. To reduce the risk of
fire as far as possible, the appliance is equipped with a fire-proof filter in the lid. Thus, it is
best to keep the lid closed during operation, whenever possible. However, steam and vapour
could escape from the filter opening and under the brim of the lid during operation. Take care
not to get scald. Always keep a safe distance from the appliance.
Only place the appliance on a stable, dry, level, and clean surface that is resistant against
heat, moisture and fat. Do not place the appliance on inclined surfaces, to avoid injuries and
damage due to overflowing hot oil. Do not place any clothes or tissue or other foreign objects
on or under the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire or electric shock. Do not block
the ventilation slots at the bottom and rear of the housing. During operation, the operating
elements (see: ›Knowing Your Vita Spin Deep Fryer‹) must be accessible all the time. The appli-
ance could move during spinning. Ensure to keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of
at least 30 cm on each side to the edge of the working space and any other objects. During
operation leave at least 1 m of free space above the appliance.
Before assembling the appliance, always ensure that all parts are in proper working order
(see: ›General Safety Instructions‹). Do not use any damaged or unsuitable parts to avoid risk
of injuries and damage.
The filling level in the oil container must always be between MIN and MAX filling level marks,
indicated on the oil container (approx. 2.3 Litre): When filling in too less oil, the appliance
could overheat. With too much oil, the oil could overflow, when inserting fresh, wet food.
