on the edges of the oil container (9) and let excess oil drip away. Remove the frying basket from the edge of
the oil container and empty the fried food into a suitable bowl.
10. Turn the thermostat controller fully anti-clockwise to the left. Switch off the deep fryer at the mains and remove
the plug from the socket.
11. Allow the hot oil to cool down and then remove debris and coatings or breading after each use. Preferably pour
the cooled oil into a bowl and clean the oil container thoroughly. Insert a fine oil strainer or a coffee filter into the
small frying basket and filter the oil back into the oil container.
WARNING: Never move or attempt to clean the fryer until the oil has cooled down completely.
Useful Guidelines and Hints for Frying
•
To achieve golden brown fried foods set the temperature to 170˚C. This temperature setting is recommended
for potatoes, starchy foods or foods with coating and breading. For meat and poultry without coating, set the
thermostat controller to 190˚C. To fry baked goods, select the temperature setting 170˚C.
•
Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. In this case reduce the temperature to avoid a
grease fire.
WARNING: Never use water to extinguish an oil / grease fire.
•
Correct frying times and required temperature depend on the food properties such as size and thickness.
Please pay attention to the information provided by the food producer.
•
We recommend thawing frozen foods prior to frying. This is especially necessary when frying big pieces.
•
Before inserting the foods into the hot oil, shake off any excessive flour or coating.
•
Protein-rich foods such as fish, sea food, meat and poultry can be fried without coating. Food should be dried
well before placing into the hot oil.
•
Vegetables and fruits should be coated with batter or breading in order to immediately seal the pores.
•
Do not place too much food into the deep fryer, otherwise the pieces of food will not brown correctly.
•
Do not successively fry different kind of foods in the same oil. When frying foods with distinct odour such as
fish, any foods fried afterwards may take on a similar flavour.
•
When frying fish and meat you can use the oil approx. 5 – 10 times after filtering the oil after each use. When
frying potato based foods such as chips the oil can be used more often.
Overheat Protection
The deep fryer is equipped with overheat protection. If the overheat protection activates, Turn the fryer off and
remove the plug from the socket. Allow to cool down for at least 20 minutes and the fryer will reset and work again
as normal.
Changing the Oil
•
Please change consumed oil when it goes dark or the smell changes.
•
Wait for approximately 2 hours or until the oil has cooled sufficiently before you start to clean the unit and filter
the oil.
•
Always change the oil completely. Do not mix old and new oil.
WARNING: Do not dispose of oil in the sewerage system
Permanent Filter in the Lid
The lid of the deep fryer has a permanent filter. This filter substantially collects
odours.
1. If necessary, the filter can be cleaned. Press the latch of the filter cover and
remove the cover, as pictured. Remove the filter and clean it with mild soapy
water or in the dishwasher. When cleaning the filter in soapy water, rinse
thoroughly and allow the filter to dry well before next use.
2. Re-insert the filter into the lid.
3.
Press on the filter cover on the lid until it locks into place. A small click will
be heard when this happens.
