Switching On/Off - AEG FD 5574 Bedienungsanleitung, Garantie

Scope of Supply and Equipment
• Fondue pot made of stainless steel with attachment
holder for forks
• Rotating base with 6 sauce vessels of 50 ml each
• 8 fondue forks
• Separate stable heating base with robust hotplate and
continuously adjustable thermostat
• Control lamp

Switching on/off

The appliance is operated by a thermostat.
The appliance is switched off when the thermostat is in the
MIN position.
Before Initial Use
• Before using the wok for the first time, please clean it as
described under "Cleaning and Care".
• To remove the protective coating on the hotplate, oper-
ate the appliance for 5 minutes without the fondue pot.
Set the thermostat to MAX.
NOTE:
A small amount of smoke is normal. Please ensure that
there is adequate ventilation.
Useful hints for use
• Oil and fat must be heatable to very high temperatures.
Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use
margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying,
because they start to smoke already at low temperatures.
• We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.
CAUTION:
... if you would like to use fat!
• If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces.
• Turn the thermostat to a low temperature and add the
pieces slowly.
• If the fat has melted and the required oil level is
reached, you can set the desired temperature on the
thermostat. Do not exceed the MAX mark!
CAUTION:
Heavy build up of foam!
• Never mix oils and fats. The liquid may overflow.
• Rub wet food dry with a cloth. Damp food causes a
heavy build up of foam which is serious cases may
cause the oil/fat to overflow.
WARNING:
Contaminated oil/fat can be highly inflammable!
• Always remove any food which may remain in the oil/
fat.
• Replace the oil/fat regularly.
Rotating Base
1. Fold out the individual holders so that they are horizontal.
The round distance pieces face downwards and
subsequently lie on the heating stand.
2. Position the holder with the movable
"lug" vertical. Clamp the fixed "lug"
on the rotating base (see Fig.) to one
side under the hotplate.
3. Pull the rotating base over the hot-
plate. Clamp the holder with the movable "lug" facing
outwards.
After use you can save space when you store the rotating
basis by folding the holders back inwards.
Operation
Please select a suitable non-slip base on which to place your
fondue.
1. Insert the rotating base as described above. Then insert
the sauce vessels into the holders.
2. Place the fondue equipment on the heating stand.
3. Fill the pot with fat or oil (min. 0.5 l to max. 1.0 l). Place the
equipment onto the fondue pot.
4. Turn the thermostat to MIN.
5. Only connect the machine to a properly installed 230 V~,
50 Hz safety socket.
6. Turn the device to the medium temperature range and
heat up the oil for some time.
NOTE:
The control lamp indicates that the hotplate is warming
up. During use it switches on and off. This is normal
and indicates that the temperature is thermostatically
controlled and maintained.
7. With a wooden stick (e.g. shashlik spit or wooden cook-
ing spoon) you can test whether the correct temperature
has been reached. When this is inserted into the oil, small
air bubbles should rise up along the wooden stick. Alter-
natively, you can place a piece of the food to be fried into
the hot oil.
8. Place the pieces of meat on the fondue forks and then
dip them into the oil. Depending on the size of the meat
pieces, the cooking process takes between 4 and 7
minutes, i.e. the smaller the pieces of meat or other food
are, the faster they are cooked.
9. Adjust the temperature with the regulator such that the
oil simmers.
