Preparation of the appliance

Using grilling

1 The grill may only be used with the grill insert inserted.

1. Insert grill insert with lava stones in the grill.

The lava stones absorb fat that comes out of the food when grilling.

2. Take hold of grill shelf firmly with

both hands and tilt it backwards

until it is in the fixture (A).

3. Lower grill shelf and insert the plug

in the socket (B).

3 With very fatty foods the lava

stones can be replaced with water.

A sufficient amount of water is im-

portant.

Socket has live parts and must be

protected from moisture.

Only fill up with water when deep

fat fryer plug is inserted in the

socket.

Using deep fat fryer

1. Remove grill shelf and grill insert.

2. Close drain tap and replace safety

catch.

3 The deep fat fryer’s oil cavity must

be filled with oil between the marks

MIN (1.5 litres) and MAX (3 litres).

3. Insert deep fat fryer plug in the

socket.

4. Fill deep fat fryer oil cavity with oil.

3 Frying fat can also be used instead

of oil.

Operating the appliance

Switching the appliance on and off

1 Important: Socket has live parts.

Only operate appliance with dry socket.

3 After switching on, within approx. 10 seconds a function must be set,

otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.

3 Switching off also works by touching and at the same time. This

applies for all individual functions, for example, ”Switching off the

Timer”.

Setting grill setting / temperature for the deep fat fryer

3 If a grill setting/temperature is selected, the indicator flashes until the

grill setting/temperature is reached. When the grill setting/temperature

selected is reached, an acoustic signal sounds.

3 If the deep fat fryer plug or grill shelf is not inserted properly, the ap-

pliance does not heat up.

3 A temperature from 170°C to 180°C is suitable for deep fat frying.

6. Hang fryer basket on the hanger to allow further draining.

3 When dealing with larger quantities of food to be fried, take the fryer

basket out of the oil after 1-2 minutes and heat the oil up again.

When the oil is heated up again, continue deep frying.

3 If using frying fat, cut this into pieces and melt at 120°C.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of

food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health

risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest

possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Frying frozen food

Deep frozen foods for frying absorb a lot of oil and cook more slowly.

3 Defrost frozen food to room temperature before drying.

3 Observe the amount and temperature given in the following table or on

the packet.
