Before the First Use

Before you use the deep fryer for the

first time please clean all individual com-

ponents thoroughly and carefully dry

them (see Chapter „Cleaning“).

Low-Acrylamide Cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic

substance formed from a reaction with

amino acids when frying foodstuffs with

a high starch content (at temperatures

of more than 180°C).

Therefore, if possible do not fry food-

stuffs with a high starch content, for

example chips, at temperatures above

170˚C. The foodstuffs should only be

fried to golden-yellow, instead of dark

or brown. Only in this way can you

achieve a low acrylamide level.

Frying

We recommend frying oil or liquid frying

fat for use in this deep fryer. You can

also use solid cooking fats. For this, first

read the chapter „Solid Cooking Fats“.

Preparations

1. Place the appliance on a horizontal,

level and stable surface.

Solid Cooking Fats

To avoid both a splattering of the fats

and the appliance becoming too hot,

please observe the following precautionary

measures:

• With the use of fresh fats, first melt

the blocks of fat slowly, under low heat,

in a separate pan. Carefully pour the

molten fat into the deep fryer. First

then insert the power plug into a

socket and switch the deep fryer on.

• After use, store the appliance with

the re-solidified fat at room

temperature.

Should the fat become too cold, it could

cause splattering on remelting! To help

prevent this, prick a series of holes into

the solidified fat with a wooden or pla-

stic object. Ensure that no damage is

caused to the heating element.

• To melt the fat, slide the temperature

controller  to 150°C. The control

lamp lights up.

• Wait until all of the fat has melted.

First then set the desired frying

temperature.

After Frying

• When the food is ready, pull the

handle  upwards until the handle

locking button  clicks in.

• Leave the frying basket  in this posi-

tion to drip off.

• Slide the temperature controller  all

the way to the left („OFF“). The deep

fryer is now switched off. Remove the

power plug from the wall socket.

• When the food has dripped off, open

the appliance lid , in that you press

the lid release button  together.

• Carefully lift the frying basket  out

of the deep fryer. If necessary, shake

off any excess oil or fat over the deep

fryer.

• 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 recommended that, after cooling,

the oil or liquified fat is poured into a

well sealed container and stored in the

refrigerator or a cool storeroom. Fill the

container through a sieve, in order to

remove any food particles from the oil

or fat.



Changing the frying oil or fat

Change the oil only when it has completely

cooled down. Solid fats must still be in a

liquid state so that they can be poured.

• Completely open the appliance lid .

• Remove the frying basket .

• Remove the operating/heating element

. Place the operating/heating element

 at a clean and dry location.

• Carefully remove the stainless steel

container  with the oil or fat from

the deep fryer.

• Pour the oil or fat into suitable con-

tainers, for example bottles.

 Note: Used fats or oil do not belong

in the domestic refuse or on the

compost heap. Make enquiries at

your local community administration

office about suitable collection

dumps.

• Thoroughly clean all parts of the deep

fryer, as described in the Chapter

„Cleaning“.

• Refill the deep fryer with fresh oil or

fat, as described in the Chapter

„Frying“.



• For cleaning the components do not

use aggressive or abrasive cleaning

agents or materials such as scouring

milk or steel wool.

• Reassemble the deep fryer in the

reverse order.

• Push the power cable together and

place it, together with the power

plug, into the cable compartment .

• Lift the appliance with the assistance

of the lateral carrying cavities.

• Store the deep fryer with the appliance

lid  closed. Thus, the inside of the

deep fryer remains clean and

dustfree.

Tips

Home-made chips

• Potatoes intended for frying should be

wholesome and without sprouting.

• For frying, late harvest potatoes are to

be preferred.

• After peeling, cut the potatoes into

the desired form (strips or slices).

• Allow the potatoes to soak for about

an hour before cooking them. This will

help remove a portion of the sugar

content, which is one of the consti-

tuent products for the formation of

acrylamides.

• Carefully dry the potato pieces.

• Always fry home-made chips twice:

• firstly for 10-12 minutes at 160°C

then for 3-4 minutes at 170°C,

dependant on the desired degree of

browning.

• Frozen chips are already pre-cooked

and therefore only need to be fried

once. Comply with the instructions on

the packaging.

Frozen Foods

Deep frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18 °C)

cool the oil or fat considerably, because

of this they do not cook fast enough and

possibly also soak up too much oil or fat.

To avoid these things, proceed as follows:

• Do not fry large quantities at once

(see table).

• Heat the oil or fat for at least 15 minutes

before inserting the frozen foodstuffs.

• Adjust the temperature controller 

to the temperature setting given either

in these operating instructions or on

the packaging.

• Preferably, allow the deep frozen food

to thaw to room temperature before

frying it. Remove as much ice and water

as possible before inserting the food

into the deep fryer.

 Attention Always close the appliance

lid  before lowering the frying

basket  into the hot oil or fat.

• If possible, insert the food to be fried

slowly and carefully into the deep

fryer, as deep-frozen foods can cause

the oil or fat to begin splattering ab-

ruptly and heftily.

How to hinder unwanted aftertastes:

Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release

fluids when being fried. These fluids col-

lect in the oil or fat and can influence

the smell and taste of fried foods that

are later cooked in the same oil or fat.

Proceed as follows to again obtain a

neutral tasting oil or fat:

KH2000

KH2000_Fritteuse_UK.qxd 27.11.2006 14:55 Uhr Seite 9

- 10 -



• Heat the fat or oil to 160°C and place

two thin slices of bread or a couple of

small sprigs of parsley into the deep

fryer. Wait until the oil or fat is no

longer bubbling and remove the bread

or parsley with a skimmer. The oil or

fat now has a neutral taste once

again.

 Important: Absolutely close the

appliance lid before lowering the

frying basket with the parsley or the

bread into hot oil or fat. Splattering

fats can lead to serious burns.

Healthy Nutrition

Nutritional experts recommend the use

of vegetable oils and fats containing

unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. Linol acid).

However, these oils and fats lose their

positive characteristics faster than other

oils and must therefore be exchanged

more frequently. Orientate yourself on

the following guidelines:

• Change the oil or fat regularly. If you

use the deep fryer mainly to prepare

chips and strain the oil or fat after every

use, it can be used 10 to 12 times.

• Never use the oil or fat for longer than

six months however. Always follow the

instruction given on the packaging.

• As a general rule, oil or fats can only

be in use for a short period if they are

predominantly used for the frying of

high protein foods such as meat or fish.

• Do not mix fresh oil with used oil.

• Always change the oil or fat if it foams

on heating, it develops a strong taste

or aroma or when it turns dark and/or

takes on a syrup-like consistency.

Overheat Protection

In a case of overheating, the heat pro-

tection function switches the appliance

off. The control lamp  then glows only

on the left side.

This can happen if there is no, or not

sufficient, oil or fat in the deep fryer

or when solid cooking fats are being

molten in the appliance.

With solid cooking fats the heating ele-

ment cannot disburse the heat created

fast enough.

If the heat protection function has swit-

ched the appliance off, please proceed

as follows:

• Allow the oil or fat to cool down.

• Carefully press the reset button  on

the rear side of the operating element

with a small pointed object. The app-

liance can now be used again.
