You can check the consistency of your food at any time during cooking: With the basket
release button pressed, lift the basket to its upper position. Thereafter, press the opening button
and carefully open the lid, being aware of hot steam coming out from under the lid. It is best
to use barbecue tongs for taking out a piece of food for inspection. Thereafter, if your food is
not done already, close the lid again, and lower the basket.
12.
If your food is done, lift the basket to the upper position.
13.
Now you can use the centrifuge to remove surplus oil from your food. Switch the speed
switch to the desired position (see: ›Tips for Best Results‹). LOW: for tender and delicate, or
heavy food (e.g. fish, breaded meat); if in doubt, first try this setting. HIGH: for strong and firm
ingredients (see also: ›Tips for Best Results‹).
CautiOn:
The lid must be closed properly and the basket must be locked in the upper posi-
tion for operation of the centrifuge. This way, you avoid splashing of hot oil. Take into account
that the appliance could vibrate during spinning, thus moving around on the table/counter.
For this reason, close supervision is necessary during the spinning process to prevent the ap-
pliance from falling from the table/counter.
tip:
You cannot use the centrifuge, if you are friying without the basket.
14.
Ensure that the lid is closed properly. Then turn the SPIN timer to the desired spin-
ning time (we recommend ½ to 1 minute). The centrifuge starts operation immediately,
and spins the basket until the set spinning time has elapsed. This way, surplus oil will be hurled
out.
tip:
There is no need to leave your food to drain. This task is taken on by the centrifuge.
warninG:
The lid will get very hot during operation. Only touch the lid at the handles. Ad-
ditionally, a large amount of hot steam could escape from under the lid, when opening. Ensure
not to get scalded. Always keep a sufficient distance to the appliance.
15.
As soon as the spinning time elapsed, and the centrifuge comes to a complete standstill,
carefully open the lid. Doing so, beware of hot steam escaping from under the lid.
CautiOn:
The basket is very hot. Only touch the basket at the handle. Keep in mind that hot
oil could drip from the basket, when removing the basket from the appliance. Do not place
the hot basket on an inclined surface where it can tilt or fall. Do not place the hot basket on
surfaces that are sensitive to heat, moisture and/or fat. It is good advice to place the basket
on a suitable large dish.
16.
Take your food out of the basket. You may use barbecue tongs to remove large pieces from
the basket. For smaller pieces (e.g. chips), it is better to pour out the food into a large bowl.
Doing so, keep in mind that hot oil could drip from the basket.
Thereafter you can fill the basket with the next portion of your food.
after Cooking
1.
After you have processed your food as desired: close the lid, turn the temperature dial to
MIN, and unplug the appliance.
2.
Wait until the appliance cooled down (at least 3 hours).
3.
Thereafter, empty the oil container and clean the appliance and all used parts and accesso-
ries immediately after use as described in section Care and Cleaning
iMpOrtant:
Do not leave any food dry on the surfaces. Additionally, do not store the oil
in the appliance. Pour out the oil into a suited well closing container.
Do not dispose de-
graded oil in the sink!
Use a well closed container and dispose the oil in domestic refuse
(see: ›Care and Cleaning‹).

the Solution
You cannot insert the
control unit completely.
The control unit is tilted a little.
• Lift the control unit a little,
then try again.
You cannot insert the oil
container properly.
The oil container is in wrong
orientation.
• The oil container can only
be inserted in one orientation.
Hold the oil container with the
MIN/MAX filling level marks
facing to the back of the appli-
ance. Turn the oil container a
little back and forth.
The container release slider is
locked.
• Push the container release
slider to the right.
The coupling of the centrifu-
ge is positioned somewhat
unfavourable.
• Turn the oil container a little
back and forth, until it slips
onto the coupling.
You cannot close the lid. The container release slider is
not closed.
• Push the container release
slider to the oil container.
The hinges of the lid are not
engaged properly.
• Ensure that both hinges
are inserted in the respective
opening of the housing. Press
down the hinges until they
engage.
The centrifuge does not
work.
The centrifuge will only work
with the lid closed properly.
• Close the lid.
The basket must be locked in
the upper position.
• Lift and lock the basket to the
upper position.
The basket cannot be
locked in the upper
position.
The basket is not mounted
correctly.
• Take out the basket and in
-
sert it again. Doing so, ensure
