Before using for the fi rst time
Before the appliance is connected to the
mains, it should be cleaned as follows:
Th e frying container and the inside of the lid
should be wiped with a damp cloth. Remove
the frying basket and wash it thoroughly
in hot water. To prevent any water from
mixing with the oil or fat, all parts must be
thoroughly dried.
Fill the container with approx 2 litres of
vegetable oil/fat.
Operation
– Ensure that the oil/fat level is between the
min. and max. level marks.
– Place the basket in the frying container
and close the lid.
– Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket.
Th e red indicator light comes on.

Useful facts about deep-frying
Food cooked in oil/fat is especially tasty and
nourishing.
When the food is put into the hot oil, its pores
are immediately sealed as a result of the high
temperature, thereby preventing fat from
entering the food or its juices from escaping.
In this way, essential proteins, vitamins and
minerals are preserved.
Please observe the following:
1. Th e quality of over-used oil/fat cannot
be improved by mixing it with fresh oil/
fat. Th e fresh oil/fat would also be spoilt
aft er a short while.
2. To prevent the oil from frothing up,
make sure that the food is quite dry.
Take special care to defrost deep-
frozen food thoroughly before frying.
Moisture reduces the life-span of
frying oil/fat.
3. For good results, the right temperature
setting is a decisive factor when
deep-frying food. If the oil/fat is not
suffi ciently hot, the food may take in
too much oil/fat. It is therefore best to
insert the food basket only once the pre-
heating period is complete. If the oil/fat
is too hot, on the other hand, an outer
crust will be built up while the inner
part of the food remains uncooked
4. Deep-frozen or chilled food should
be briefl y inserted into the hot oil/
fat once or twice before the actual
cooking process begins.
5. Do not fry too much food at once.
