damp cloth. If required, use a mild detergent on
the cloth.
• Clean the operating/heating element

with a
moist cloth.
Note:
• Should you wish to clean the permanent-metal
filter

inside the appliance lid, then place the
appliance lid in warm water with a mild detergent.
• Allow it to soak for a short period and then slew
it back and forth.
• Rinse the appliance lid off with clear water.
• Dry it and then place it upright on its side so that
any excess water still in the inside of the lid can
drain away.
• Dry it off again and ensure that there is no moisture
below the rubber lip on the underside of the appli-
ance lid. If necessary, lift the rubber lip to dry it.
Be aware that the lid MUST be completely dry be-
fore re-use!
• Reassemble the deep fryer in the reverse order.
• Lift the appliance with the assistance of the lateral
carrying recesses.
• Wrap the power cable around the power cable
retainer

.
• Store the appliance with the appliance lid closed.
This will keep the inside of the deep fryer clean
and free of dust.
Tips
Home-made chips
• Potatoes intended for frying should be faultless
and not germinating.
• Use potato varieties suitable for frying, such as
"King Edward", "Morris Piper", "Cara" etc.
• After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the
intended preparation (chips or slices).
• Soak the potatoes for approx one hour before
frying. This will help remove a portion of the
sugar content, which is one of the constituent
products for the formation of acrylamides.
• Carefully dry the potatoes.
• Always fry home-made potatoes twice:
• first for 10-12 minutes at 160°C then for 3-4 mi-
nutes at 170°C, depending on the desired degree
of browning.
• Deep frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only
need to be fried once. Comply with the instruc-
tions on the packaging.
Frozen Foods
Deep frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18 °C) cool the oil
or fat to a considerabe extent, because of this they
do not cook fast enough and possibly also soak up
too much oil of fat. To avoid these occurences, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once.
The food to be fried must be completely covered
with cooking oil/fat after lowering the frying
basket
3
.
• Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting
the frozen foodstuffs.
• Adjust the temperature controller
8
to the tem-
perature specified in these operating instructions
or on the packaging of the foodstuff.
• Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw
at room temperature. Remove as much ice and
water as possible before inserting the food into
the deep fryer.
