Deep frying tips
Preferably use only liquid frying oil or liquid frying fat.
The recommended temperature for frying chips and snacks is 180°C max.
Remove ice and crumbs from frozen foods.
Do not deep-fry too much at one time. This can cause the oil or fat to cool down too much. Cooled down
oil/fat does not properly sear the surface of the food, so that more fat will be absorbed. When used
intensively, crumbs and other debris should be filtered out of the oil/fat.
Replace oil or fat in time. Use test strips or test equipment regularly to track when oil/fat should be replaced.
Before oil starts to foam, smoke or gets too viscous you should replace it. Also replace the oil/fat when it
has a strong smell or taste.
Do not mix fresh oil with used oil.
Solid Fat
If you use against our advice solid fat anyway: heat the oil slowly in the lowest position until melted. When
the fat has melted you can set the proper frying temperature.
When using solid fat, allow the blocks of fat to melt slowly on a moderate heat in a normal frying pan.
Carefully pour the melted fat into the deep fat fryer. Plug in the mains plug and switch on the deep fat fryer.
Remove the deep frying basket after use from the fat. This prevents the basket becoming stuck in the
solidified fat.
After use
Turn off the appliance by switching off the switch and removing the plug from the socket.
Do not move the deep fryer until it and its contents have cooled down.
Put the lid on the deep fryer, so that the fat does not age.
Draining oil
CAUTION! Liquefied oil is hot and can cause serious burns. The tap can become very hot during tapping.
If oil comes in contact with the skin, cool with lukewarm water. After which contact a doctor.
BEFORE DRAINING OIL: ALWAYS WAIT TILL THE OIL IS COOLED DOWN TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE YOU
MOVE THE BUCKET WITH DRAINED OIL!!
Place a tank under the drain (wait till the oil is cooled down to room temperature)
Press the knob of the tap and turn leftwards. The oil will drain from the container.
When the oil has drained from the container, turn the knob back. Check if the knob is locked.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always remove the plug from the socket before cleaning the appliance.
Beware: Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid! Never use a water jet.
After frying remove the bits floating in the oil.
Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth (water with mild detergent).
Never use aggressive cleaning agents, abrasives or chlorinated cleaners. Do not use any sharp or pointed
objects. Do not use petrol or solvents! Clean with a damp cloth and detergent if necessary. Do not use
abrasive materials.
