FRYING TIPS
• Always use the frying basket.
• The lid should always be on when frying. Remove the lid carefully.
• The "Ready" indicator light is lit when the set temperature is reached.
• Slowly immerse the frying basket into the oil. If you immerse it too quickly oil can
splash or spill over.
• It is normal that steam comes out from the sides of the lid when frying.
• Do not stand near to the deep fryer when it is turned on.
• Do not mix old and fresh oil.
• Change oil regularly. Generally speaking, when frying protein-rich food (e.g. chicken,
red meat and fish) the oil burns quicker. If the oil is mainly used for frying potatoes
and if it is filtered after each use, it can be used 8–10 times. However, do not use the
same oil for more than 6 months.
• Replace the oil when it smokes after heating up, when it gets dark, if it smells rancid
or if it gets viscous.
• The food that is to be fried must be dry. Remove ice crystals from fresh food.
• Pieces of food should be of equal size and have approximately the same thickness,
Thick pieces take longer to fry.
• The table below gives approximate times for frying with a half-full frying basket.
Depending on the amount, personal taste and size of the pieces the time can vary.
• In general, lower temperatures should be used when frying easily damaged food (e.g.
vegetables, fish) and higher temperature when frying frozen food, chips and chicken
