Removing unpleasant odours from the frying medium
■
Some foods, for example fish, may impart an unpleasant odour to the frying
medium. This odour can be neutralised using the following method:
– heat the frying medium to a temperature of 160 ˚C
– place a few shoots of parsley or two slices of bread into the frying medium,
– wait until "bubbles" stop forming, then using a suitable utensil, remove the
parsley or bread.
Overheating protection
■
The fryer is equipped with a safety fuse against overheating, which protects it
against damage. In the event of the fryer heating up excessively, e.g. due to long
use or accidentally starting it without the frying medium, the safety fuse against
overheating will be activated automatically. In such a case, the deep fryer will shut
off. Disconnect the deep fryer from the power socket and allow it to cool down.
Contact an authorised service centre to request a replacement of the safety fuse.
Under no circumstances should you replace the safety fuse yourself.
Attention:
Despite the fact that the deep fryer has overheating protection,
do not use it empty without the frying medium. The incorrect
use of the deep fryer may negatively affect its working order and
lifetime.
Handling the frying medium
■
When not using the deep fryer regularly, it is recommended to pour the cooled
down frying medium into enclosed bottles or other deep frying containers and to
store it in a refrigerator or another cool place. Pour the frying medium into bottles
through a fine strainer to filter out food residues.
Warning:
Prior to transferring the frying medium, always allow it to cool
down sufficiently to prevent serious burns.
■
It is not necessary to replace the frying medium after every use. If you fry mainly
potatoes and filter the frying medium, it is possible is reuse it 8 to 10×. Do not use
the same frying medium for more than 6 months.
■
Always replace the frying medium when:
– it has a brown colour or from the very beginning stinks or smokes
– there is too much water in it. A high water concentration in the oil or shortening/
fat is indicated by bubbles and water drops, water steam and a rapidly rising
oil or shortening/fat. If the water concentration in the deep fryer is too high, it
may happen that the oil or shortening fat may explode out, which can be very
dangerous to both the people using the deep fryer as well as those in its vicinity.
■
If you wish to replace the frying medium, proceed as follows:
– prepare a container with an appropriate volume
– disconnect the deep fryer from the power grid
– tilt open the lid, take out the frying basket, hold the deep fryer unit by its handles
and pour out the frying medium into the prepared container
Warning:
Replace the frying medium only after it has cooled down
completely. In the event that shortening fat was used, it must still
be partially liquid for it to be poured out.
■
Never pour used frying medium into standard household waste. Every municipality
has different regulations for the disposal of table oils and fats. Request information
about your disposal options at the municipal or town council office.
■
If you wish to only filter out the frying medium, proceed as follows:
– disconnect the deep fryer from the power grid
– pour the completely cooled down frying medium from the frying pot into
another container with a suitable volume capacity.
– wash the frying pot and dry it thoroughly
– pour the frying medium back through an appropriate filtration paper
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Attention:
Prior to any cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect the deep
fryer from the power grid and allow it to cool down completely.
Attention:
The deep fryer unit and its power cord are not intended for
washing in a dishwasher.
Do not spray these parts with water or any other liquid or
submerge them in water or any another liquid.
■
We recommend cleaning the deep fryer immediately after it cools down to prevent
food scraps from drying on. These are harder to remove later.
■
After every use, wipe the deep fryer unit using a soft damp cloth; wipe the power
cord using a dry cloth.
■
Slide the handle out of the frying basket and wash both in hot water with detergent,
rinse and dry thoroughly with a fine wiping cloth. These parts can also be washed
in a dishwasher.
■
Wipe out the inside of the deep fryer unit using paper towels, tougher soils can be
cleaned using a soft sponge and then wipe it dry.
■
In the event that the filter
D3
or the viewing window glass
D2
are very dirty, screw
out the cover plate
D1
from the underside of the lid, wash the filter and the glass
in hot water with detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly with a fine cloth. Return both
parts to their place and screw the cover plate back on.
Attention:
To clean the deep fryer unit or the frying pot, never use chemicals,
dishwashing abrasive wool, steel wool or cleaning products with
abrasive component since these can damage them.
■
Every time the frying medium is poured out, remove any frying medium stains or
remains from previous frying that have stuck to the hotplate or the deep fryer unit.
STORAGE
■
Before storing it, the deep fryer must be completely cool and disconnected from the
power supply, clean and dry.
■
Place the frying basket into the frying pot and tilt down the lid.
■
Then store the deep fryer in a clean, dry and well-ventilated place out of
children's reach.
Attention:
Keep the stored deep fryer away from extreme temperatures,
direct sunlight and excessive humidity and do not store it in an
overly dusty environment. Do not place any items on the stored
deep fryer.
