USE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Wash the basket in warm soapy water and dry it well before use. Clean the inside of the
pan with a damp cloth and wipe it dry thoroughly. Ensure that all electrical parts remain
completely dry.
• Fill the appliance with the required amount of oil or fat. Ensure that the appliance is filled
at least to the minimum level and not higher than the maximum level, as indicated on the
inside of the fryer. For optimal results we advice to avoid mixing different types of oil.
• Select the temperature with the temperature switch on the control panel for the food you
wish to fry. Put the plug of the device into the outlet.
• Use the handle to lift the basket from the fryer.
• Place the food to be fried in the basket. For the best results the food should be dry before
being placed in the basket. Immerse the basket into the oil or fat slowly to prevent
the oil from bubbling up too strongly. To ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature,
the thermostat will switch on and off.
• Lift the basket when the frying time has elapsed and hang it on the hook in the pan so the
oil can drip off.
Frying Tips
• Use a maximum of 200 grams of chips per litre of oil.
• When using frozen products, use a maximum of 100 grams because the oil cools off
rapidly. Shake frozen products above the sink to remove excess ice.
• When fresh chips are used, dry the chips after washing them to ensure no water gets into
the oil. Fry the chips in two turns. First time (blanch) 5 to 5 minutes at 170 degrees. Second
time (finishing) 2 to 4 minutes at 175 degrees. Allow the oil to drip off.
Changing the Oil
• Make sure the fryer and the oil or fat have cooled down before changing the oil or fat
(remove the plug of the device from the socket). Change the oil regularly. This is
particularly necessary when the oil or fat goes dark or the smell changes. Always change
the oil after every 10 frying sessions. Change the oil in one go. Never mix old and new oil.
• Used oil is harmful to the environment. Do not dispose of it with your normal rubbish but
follow the guidelines issued by the local authorities.
• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance to cool down.
• Never immerse the device under water, the device and the various parts are not
dishwasherproof.
• Clean the appliance with a damp cloth. Never use harsh and abrasive cleaners, scouring
pad or steel wool, which damages the device.
