- The break-away power cord is for accidental disconnection. Do not remove
during normal operation. If the magnetic plug (18) is disconnected,
immediately remove the plug (17) from the wall outlet. Turn the temperature
control knob (24) to the 0 position. Reconnect the magnetic plug (18) to the
control panel assembly (22) and then reconnect the plug (17) to the wall
outlet.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKING
OIL
As a general rule, choose cooking oils with a high smoke point and avoid
flavored oils.
Suitable: Pure corn oil, blended vegetable oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, grape
seed oil , peanut oil
Not suitable: Olive oil, walnut oil, lard
COOKING WITH OIL
Cooking oil can enhance the food’s flavor – or spoil its taste. As with any other food
component, freshness and correct handling of the oil is the key to successful deep
frying results.
The quality of the oil decreases with use at high temperatures. Food particles, water
and other liquids will further lower its quality, therefore:
• Do not mix different cooking oils.
• Only use fresh and clean cooking oils:
- Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying. Always use utensils that are
safe to immerse into hot oils without damaging the utensil or the appliance,
and always wear oven mitts when removing any burnt food particles.
- After use and before storage, filter oil with the integrated filtration system
( Oil Filtration)
- Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly flavored food.
- Some meats, such as chicken wings, will release large amounts of liquids when
frying, thus watering down the oil. Do not reuse this oil.
Do not use the cooking oil anymore if you notice the following:
Before use: oil smells rancid or its color has visibly darkened.
While frying: oil is foaming strongly or smoke appears on the oil’s surface at
normal operating temperature.
OIL FILTRATION
NOTE:
- Filter the oil after each use. Store filtered oil properly ( Storing oil).
- Discard of oil on a regular basis depending on oil quality ( Cooking with oil).
- After switching off the appliance, wait at least 3 hours for the oil to cool down,
depending on the settings selected during use. Hotter oil will take longer to
reach a cool temperature.
- Filtering the oil after each use will help prolong the life of the cooking oil, but it
should still be discarded if the oil is deteriorated after multiple use. We estimate
that oil, in normal use, should be changed at least after every 10 uses.
