Steba DF 100 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 8

Fat and Oil:
Frying oil must be able to stand high temperatures. Only special frying oil should be used. The oil
should be put in the non-heating oil tank. Never use the deep fryer without or only little oil! Harde-
ned fat should be melted slowly at a temperature bellow 130°C.
Important: Never mix fat and oil together. Excessive foam can occur.
The oil level can be seen at the inside of the oil tank. There must be no more oil than the max
level and not less oil than the Min. level. (please check the marking at the inside of the oil tank).
Never immerse any water in hot oil or fat!
Warm hardened fat inside the fryer:
Put the thermostat knob to max 130°C and melt the hot fat slowly. Keep the lid closed to avoid
any splashes.
Important: If a high temperature was chosen to melt hardened fat or the appliance was used with
not sufficient fat, the overheat protection can be released. When this happens, the appliance
cannot be used anymore and must be returned for service.
No warranty due to misuse!
Frying:
• Put the oil in the appliance
• Plug in the appliance.
• Put the thermostat to "min" position and switch the appliance on.
• Adjust the thermostat to the intended temperature.
• The temperature control light is on. After the intended temperature is achieved (ca 5-7min) the
light is "off"
• Insert the frying basket carefully and lower it slowly into the hot oil. Do not overfill the frying
basket.
• Close the lid to avoid splashes.
• The temperature control light is on, the appliance is heating.
• The large basket is suitable for fish or steaks or larger quantities. The small portion baskets
are for different foods.
Danger of splashes!
To avoid splashes or foaming of the fat only use food which is not too wet (dry the food with cloth,
remove ice from the food etc.). Insert the food slowly into the fryer. If the fat is foaming exces-
sively, lift the basket several times. Never carry the fryer when there is hot oil inside. Danger of
burns! Always cool down the fryer before moving it.
Parts of the appliance, e.g. the upper edge of the oil tank or the steam escaping from the fryer
can be very hot.
Take care that nobody can rip at the power cord and pull the appliance from the table (especially
children). To avoid this attach the power cord, e.g. to the leg of the table.
