Auto shut-off (type HD6144 only)
The fryer will switch off automatically after 2 hours. When this happens, the power-on light in the
on/off switch will go out.
◗
To switch the appliance back on, press the on/off switch again (fig. 3).
Cool zone
During frying, loose food particles collect on the bottom of the inner bowl. As the heating element
has been placed some distance above the bottom of the inner bowl and primarily heats the oil or
fat above it, the oil or fat between the bottom of the inner bowl and the heating element remains
relatively cool (cool zone).This prevents the food particles that end up in this zone from burning,
increasing the number of times you can re-use the oil or fat.
Preparing for use
1 Put the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface out of the reach of children.
If you want to place the fryer on top of the cooker, make sure the rings of the cooker have been
turned off and are cold.
2 Fill the dry fryer with oil, liquid fat or melted solid fat up to the top indication mark on the
inside of the inner bowl (see section 'Oil and fat' for instructions on how to use solid fat)
(fig. 4).
Oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or fat!
We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat, preferably vegetable oil or fat that is rich in
unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid).
It is possible to use solid frying fat, but in that case extra precautions are necessary to prevent the
fat from spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
1 If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
2 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3 Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
4 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when melted. Punch some holes into the
resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this (fig. 5).
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.
Using the appliance
Frying
Be careful: hot steam will escape from the filter in the lid during frying.
1 Take the entire cord from the cord storage compartment and put the plug in the wall socket
(fig. 6).
Make sure the cord does not come into contact with hot parts of the appliance.
