Preparation Before Use

Do not connect the deep fryer to the electrical network during preparation.

Remove the frying basket and attach the handle A to the frying basket by pressing the handle wires B towards each other with your fingers and inserting the bent ends into the holders C in the basket. Then, secure the wires in the holders by applying slight outward pressure.

Operation

Removing the Frying Basket

The basket can be lifted/lowered with the lid open. Lift the basket handle until it clicks into a horizontal position. To remove the basket, open the lid to its maximum. Before removing the basket when frying, allow excess oil to drain from the food into the frying pot. To lower the basket, slide the handle into the groove of the appliance body and then fold the handle by pressing the basket handle release, the basket holder.

Opening the Lid

Pressing the lid opening button releases the lid's locking mechanism, and the lid lifts slightly. If the lid tends to open completely, hold it with your hand. This allows hot steam to escape through the slot, making subsequent lid opening safer and preventing scalding or burns. After steam has escaped, lift the lid and open it. To remove it completely, tilt it to a vertical position and pull it upwards.

Ventilation System

A ventilation grille is installed in the deep fryer lid.

Filling the Deep Fryer

  1. Fill the deep fryer with oil. We recommend using a suitable frying oil of appropriate quality, or high-quality solid vegetable fat. Never mix oil with fat. Fill the container so that the oil level is between the MIN. and MAX. marks.
  2. Place the basket in the deep fryer and immerse it in the oil. Press the button on the handle and push the handle down.
  3. Close the lid (press the lid on both sides until it clicks). This prevents steam from escaping the deep fryer.
  4. Connect the deep fryer to the electrical network and switch it on.
  5. Set the desired temperature using the temperature setting knob. Refer to the overview further in the manual.

Frying

Preheating

Before frying, the oil needs to be preheated to the required temperature. The heating indicator light will be on. It will turn off when the set temperature is reached. The indicator light may alternately turn on and off as the temperature changes.

Frying

There are two frying methods: frying general food items and frying coated food items (e.g., breaded).

Frying General Food Items

  1. Once the set temperature is reached, open the lid, lift the basket, and secure it in the raised position. Place maximally dried food items in the basket. The basket should always be raised when placing food.
  2. Immerse the basket in oil and close the lid.
  3. Monitor the frying process through the viewing window by occasionally lifting the basket.
  4. After frying is complete, press the lid opening button, hold it slightly open to allow steam to escape. After a moment, lift the lid upwards with your hands; be careful when opening, as there may still be slight steam pressure in the container.

Frying Coated Food Items

This method may cause food to stick to the basket, so fry very carefully.

  1. Once the set temperature is reached, leave the basket immersed and open the lid.
  2. Coat the raw food items in breadcrumbs and lightly remove excess breadcrumbs. Gently immerse the food items in the oil using a suitable utensil; this will slightly firm the breading before it contacts the basket mesh, preventing it from sticking to the basket.
  3. Close the lid and fry.

Overview of Frying Times and Temperatures for Proper Frying

The frying times and temperatures provided in this overview are indicative and depend significantly on the amount of food being fried. Precise times and temperatures for frying specific foods will be gained through practice.

Frozen fries 800 g 190 °C 12 - 18 min.
Fish 300 g 170 °C 3 - 5 min.

Tips for Using the Deep Fryer

Cleaning and Maintenance of the Deep Fryer

Disconnect the power cord from the electrical network and let the deep fryer cool down completely.

1. Cleaning the Lid

Clean the lid with water at regular intervals. Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.

2. Cleaning the Basket, Handle, and Oil Container

Clean the basket and handle with water and a mild detergent solution. After cleaning, dry the basket and handle thoroughly. After the oil has cooled down completely, remove the lid and basket, and pour out the oil from the removable container. Fill the container with warm water and clean it. Do not scratch its surface finish! Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.

3. Cleaning the Appliance Surface
