• Correct frying times and required temperature depend on the food properties such as size and
thickness. Please pay attention to the information provided by the food producer.
• We recommend thawing frozen foods prior to frying. This is especially necessary when frying
big pieces.
• Before inserting the foods into the hot oil, shake off any excessive flour or coating.
• Protein-rich foods such as fish, sea food, meat and poultry can be fried without coating. Food
should be dried well before placing into the hot oil.
• Vegetables and fruits should be coated with batter or breading in order to immediately seal the
pores.
• Do not place too much food into the deep fryer, otherwise the pieces of food will not be
browned as desired.
• Do not successively fry different kinds of food in the same oil. When frying foods with distinct odour
such as fish, any foods fried afterwards may take on a similar flavour.
• When frying fish and meat you can use the oil approx. 5 – 10 times after filtering the oil after
each use. When frying potato based foods such as chips the oil can be used more often.
Overheat Protection
The deep fryer is equipped with overheat protection. If the overheat protection activates, unplug the
fryer and allow to cool down completely. When the fryer has cooled, the reset button on the element
can be pressed (9).
Changing the Oil
• Please change consumed oil when it goes dark or the smell changes.
• Wait for approximately 2 hours or until the oil has cooled sufficiently before you start to clean
the unit and filter the oil.
• Always change the oil completely. Do not mix old and new oil.
• When disposing of the used oil, wait for it to cool before pouring into container and disposing in
the bin
WARNING: Do not dispose of oil in the sewerage system
• Always switch off the deep fryer before cleaning. Unplug the power plug and let the unit cool
down completely. Do not pull the cable to unplug the unit.
• Disconnect the deep fryer from the power supply when the unit is not in use. This is the only way
that you can be sure the unit is completely turned off.
• Clean the housing with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel and dry it thoroughly. Use detergent
when needed. Do not clean the unit in the dishwasher and do not immerse it in water or any
other liquid. Before using the fryer after cleaning, ensure that it is completely dry.
• Clean the oil container with a damp sponge and remove any debris and oil residues. Loosen any
food residues only with a wooden or plastic scraper to avoid damaging the surface. Dry the
container thoroughly after cleaning. Make sure that there is no water in the container when heating
up again.
• Do not use any sharp detergents, aggressive chemicals, metallic or sharp items to clean the deep
fryer in order not to damage the surfaces.
• Store the unit indoors in a dry place that is protected from dust, dirt and extreme temperatures.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
• The fryer lid, stainless steel bowl and basket are all dishwasher safe. Do not put the main unit inside
the dishwasher
