the desired temperature.
Press the - button.
A short beep is heard, the indicator lamp
fl ashes and the heating process starts.
(If no further adjustments are made aft er
connecting the appliance to the mains, the green
LCD display fi eld goes out and the appliance
switches into an energy-saving mode.)
Once the pre-set temperature has been
reached, fi ve beep signals are heard and the
indicator lamp remains steady.
Inserting the frying basket:
Take off the lid. –
Use the appropriate handle to position the –
basket onto its holding bracket inside the
frying container.
Replace the lid.
–
Lift up the basket slightly to clear the –
holding bracket, and then lower it carefully
into the hot oil/fat.
Activate the cooking timer.
If the pre-set temperature has been reached,
but no cooking time has been selected with the
timer, the appliance will switch into an energy-
saving mode within 30 minutes.
Th
e appliance will also switch into this mode if
the pre-programmed cooking time has elapsed
and a new cooking time is not selected within
10 minutes.
Remove the frying basket once the food is
cooked:
Take off the lid. –
Use the handle to lift up the basket and –
place it onto the holding bracket; this
position allows the oil/fat to drain back
into the container.
Once the excess oil has drained off , lift out
–
the basket and replace the lid.
Always switch the appliance off once frying is
completed, by keeping the - button pressed
for 2-3 seconds. A long beep signal is heard
and the indicator lamp goes out. To switch off
the appliance completely, however, it must be
disconnected from the mains.
Useful hints for deep-frying
Food cooked in oil is especially tasty and
nourishing.
When the food is put into the hot oil, it is
immediately sealed as a result of the high
temperature, preventing fat from entering
the food or juice from escaping.
Th
at way, essential proteins, vitamins and
minerals etc. are preserved.
Please observe the following:
1. Do not overfi ll the frying basket:
otherwise the temperature of the oil/
fat will drop and subsequently cause the
food to absorb an excessive amount of
fat/oil.
2. Th e quality of oft en-used oil/fat cannot
be improved by mixing with fresh oil.
Th
e fresh oil/fat would be spoiled aft er
a short while as well.
3. To prevent the oil/fat from frothing
over, make sure that the food is
thoroughly dried. Take special care to
defrost deep-frozen food thoroughly
before frying. Moisture reduces the
life-span of frying oil/fat.
4. For good results, the right temperature
setting is a decisive factor when deep-
frying. If the oil/fat is not suffi
ciently
hot, the food may take in too much oil/
fat. It is therefore best to insert the food
basket only once the heating up period
is complete and the pre-set temperature
level has been reached. However, if the
oil/fat is too hot, a crust will be built up
too fast while the inner part of the food
remains uncooked.
5. Deep-frozen or partly frozen food
should be briefl y inserted into the hot
oil/fat once or twice before the actual
process.
6. To prevent the oil/fat from frothing over,
the frying basket should be lowered
slowly and cautiously into the hot oil/
fat.
7. Do not fry too much food at once. Th e
food should be allowed to fl oat freely
without the pieces touching each other.
