−
Do not leave the fryer unattended during operation.
−
Always disconnect the power plug from the power supply
before assembling, dismantling or cleaning the fryer.
−
Disconnect the power plug from the power supply after each

and suffocate.
WARNING!
Injury hazard!
Hot surface! Parts of this fryer become very hot during
operation. Improper handling may lead to serious
injuries.
− P
arts of the fryer become hot during use. Do not touch
these, in order to avoid burns.
− To prevent injuries, hair, jewellery and clothing must not
come into contact with the fryer, when it is in operation.
− Do not use the fryer if one of the parts is defective.
− Also inform other users of the dangers!
− During the frying process, hot steam escapes, particularly if
the lid is opened. Ensure that you use oven gloves and do
not bend over the fryer.
− Ensure that all parts are completely dry before putting oil or
liquid fat into the fryer. Water residues vaporise explosively
and the hot oil/fat is sprayed.
Safety
14
− Prior to frying the food, dry it off thoroughly, in order to
avoid hot fat/oil spraying out.
− Remove the frost and all ice pieces from frozen foods. The
more ice remains on the food, the more the hot oil/fat will
spray.
WARNING!
Injury hazard! Serious burns may occur
when coming into contact with hot oil/fat.
− Place the
fryer on an easily accessible, level, dry, heat-
resistant and suffi ciently sturdy work surface, in order to
avoid spilling the hot liquid. The work surface should be
insensitive to spraying fat.
− Do not position the fryer at the edge or on the corner of the
work surface.
− Do not move the fryer during operation. Wait until the fryer
has cooled down completely.
− Keep the power cable away from children. Children may pull
on it and spill the hot oil/fat.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the fryer may lead to overheating and
damage.
− Never not operate the fryer when it does not contain oil/fat. The
fryer may overheat. This may damage the heating coil and the
non-stick coating and smoke may develop. In this case, open
the windows and ventilate the room thoroughly.
Initial use
15
− Never fi ll the oil/fat more than up to the MAX mark and never
less than up to the MIN mark in the frying tank. Each time you
switch it on, ensure that suffi cient oil/fat is available.
− Do not place the fryer under a hanging cupboard or in a
corner. Ensure that the fryer has open space above it.
− Do not place any items on the fryer.
−
If necessary, place a non-slip base under the rubber feet of
the fryer, as surfaces are treated with various detergents and
may attack and dissolved some of the constituent substances
of the rubber feet.

General information about deep frying
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT DEEP FRYING
Oils and fats for the fryer
Only use “non-foaming” oils or fats, which are suitable
for deep frying. Never mix any oil or fat varieties.
Excessive foaming may occur.
Frying oil or liquid frying fat is recommended for use in this
fryer.
You may also use solid frying fat, but it must be melted in
a saucepan on the stove or melted in a water bath in an
appropriate container before transferring it to the frying tank.
Oils and fats after use
For hygiene reasons, you should store oils and fats in
the refrigerator after cooling them down. It is best to
use a glass container for this.
Do not leave the used oil or fat in the fryer.
1. First of all, let the hot oil or fat cool down in the fryer (do not
allow the fat to solidify).
2. Line a sieve with a layer of paper towel and sieve the
lukewarm oil or fat through it.
If you are mainly preparing chips with the fryer and the oil or
fat is sieved after each use, you can use it 10 to 12 times, but not
for longer than six months.
Please also always note the instructions on the packaging. Do
not mix fresh and used oil.
Replace the oil or fat, if it foams during heating, develops a
strong taste or odour or if its becomes dark and viscous.
To use it again, melt the solidifi ed fat in the glass container in a
warm water bath before pouring the fat into the fryer.
20
Low-acrylamide preparation
Acrylamide is suspected of being a carcinogenic
substance, which increases dramatically when heating
foods containing starch to over 175 °C.
Therefore, do not fry chips at a temperature of more than 175 °C.
Fried food should not be served brown, only “golden yellow”.
The correct frying temperature
The following table shows examples of which foods are
cooked at which temperature and for which duration.
If the i
n
structions on the packaging of the fried food differ from
this tab
le, please follow the instructions on the packaging.
Dry off wet foods before they are immersed in the hot frying
liquid.
This avoids spraying fat, on the one hand, while the fried
food forms an even crust, on the other hand, and accordingly
absorbs less fat.
Deep-frozen foods should always be slightly thawed and
dried off, in ord
er to remove the surface moisture.
Avoid salting and seasoning prior to deep frying: Salt promotes
the migration of water out of the inside of the surface of the
food and the formation of toxic substances.
Prior to immersing breaded foods, e.g. schnitzel, loose crumbs
should be removed from the fried food. Small pieces will
otherwise burn quickly in the frying liquid and therefore
accelerate the spoilage.
With meat or fi sh that isn’t breaded, no acrylamide is created, a
higher temperature setting (approx. 190 °C) is also appropriate
for this.

The values provided in the table are for guidance and
relate to a quantity of approx. 450 grams. Depending on
the condition of the foods, the times may vary.
Every temperature controller has certain tolerances, so
these values are only approximations.
For the precise examination of the temperature prior to
actually frying, we recommend an appropriate fat/household
thermometer.
