Before ﬁrst use

■ Before you use the deep fryer for the ﬁrst time, please clean

all individual components thoroughly and dry them carefully

(see "Cleaning" section).

Low-acrylamide cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a

reaction with amino acids when frying food with a high starch

content. The formation of acrylamide increases dramatically at

temperatures of more than 347°F.

You should therefore avoid frying food with a high starch content,

for example french fries, at temperatures above 340°F. The food

should only be fried to golden-yellow instead of dark or brown.

This is the only way to achieve low-acrylamide cooking.

Deep frying

We recommend cooking oil or liquid cooking fat for use in this

deep fryer. You can also use solid cooking fats. Read the section

"Solid cooking fats" for more information.

SFM 850 A3

The correct frying temperature can be found either on the packag-

ing of the food to be deep-fried or in the "Table – frying times"

in these operating instructions. A rough guide as to which foods

should be fried at which temperature is provided by the ﬁgures

on the front of the deep fat fryer:

Symbol Food Tempera-

ture

Prawns 265°F

Chicken 300°F

French fries

(fresh) 340°F

Fish 375°F

These values should only be used as a guide. The temperature

can vary depending on the properties of the foods and personal

taste!

The lid and the deep fat fryer become

extremely hot during the deep-frying process. Therefore, do not

touch anything except the handles 3 during deep-frying! Risk of

burns! We recommend the use of oven gloves.

5) Press the lid release button 0.

Take care when ﬁlling the frying basket w!

It is extremely hot!

IB_289717_SFM850A3_LB9.indb 15 26.04.17 14:13

■ 16 │ US-EN SFM 850 A3

6) Lift the frying basket w out of the deep fat fryer. Add the food

to be fried. The frying basket w may only be ﬁlled to the extent

that the food is completely covered with fat when the frying

basket w is lowered into the deep fat fryer.

7) Carefully lower the frying basket w into the hot oil or fat.

8) Close the appliance lid.

The frying process can be monitored through the viewing window

in the lid of the appliance.

Solid cooking fats

To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming

too hot, please take the following precautions when using solid

frying fat:

■ When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly,

under low heat, in a normal saucepan. Then carefully pour the

melted fat into the deep fryer. Only when this has been done

should you insert the plug into a power socket and turn the

deep fryer on.

■ After use, store the deep fryer with the solidiﬁed fat at room

temperature.

■ If the fat gets too cold, it could splatter upon re-melting!

To avoid this, pierce a few holes in the solidiﬁed fat with a

wooden or plastic skewer. Ensure that you do not damage the

frying container coating 2.

■ To melt the fat, plug in the connector plug 4 into the socket 5,

insert the plug into a power socket, push the On-/Oﬀ-switch 9

to position "I" and set the temperature control 6 to 265˚F.

The Power control lamp 8 lights up.

■ Wait until all of the fat has melted. The Ready control lamp 7

may turn on and oﬀ several times during this process. Do not

set the desired frying temperature until all of the fat has melted.

SFM 850 A3

After frying

Never touch the frying basket w directly after

deep frying. It is extremely hot! Lift the frying basket w out of the

deep fryer only by the handle q!

1) When the fried food is ready, press the lid release button 0 so

that the lid pops open.

2) Lift the frying basket w and hang it on the rim of the appliance

so that excess fat can drip oﬀ.

3) Turn the temperature control 6 to MIN.

4) Push the On-/Oﬀ-switch 9 to position "O", to turn the appli-

ance oﬀ.

5) Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.

6) Disconnect the connector plug 4 from the socket 5.

7) Once the fried food has dripped dry, lift the frying basket w

carefully out of the deep fat fryer.

8) Tip the fried food into a bowl or a sieve (lined with absorbent

kitchen paper!).

If you do not use the deep fryer regularly, it is advisable to store

the cooled oil in well-sealed bottles or other frying containers –

preferably in the refrigerator or a similar cool storage location.

Fill the bottles through a ﬁne sieve in order to remove any food

particles from the oil.
