SAFETY
Safety thermal cut-out
In the event of overheating, the termal cut-out will switch off the deep fat fryer. This can
happen if the deep fat fryer is not filled with sufficient oil or solid frying fat is melted in the
deep fat fryer. In the case of solid fat is melted in the deep fat fryer, the heating element is
unable to radiate the produced heat quickly enough. If the safety thermal cut-out switches off
the deep fat fryer, proceed as follows :
- Allow the oil or fat to cool down
- Carefully push in the (reset switch) at the rear of the control element with a small
screwdriver.
Safety switch
The safety switch in the control element ensures that the heating element can only be switch
when the control element locks with a click.
Cold zone
During the frying process, food particles collect on the botom of the bowl. As the heating
element is arranged below the bowl and heats the oil/fat in the upper area of the deep fat
fryer, the oil/fat between the base and the heating element remains relatively cold (cold zone).
This prevents the food particles in this zone burning and offers the advantage of being able to
use the oil or fat more than once.
Frying with solid fat
We recommend the use of frying oil or liquid frying fat in this deep fat fryer. Solid frying fat can
also be used. In order to prevent fast spatter and the deep fat fryer becoming too hot, the
following precautions should be taken :

When using fresh fat, allow the blocks of fat to melt slowly on a moderate heat in a
normal frying pan. Carefully for the melted fat into the deep fat fryer. Plug in the
mains plug and switch on the deep fat fryer (see section "frying").

After use, store the deep fat fryer with the resolidified fat at room temperature. If the
fat is too cold, it can spatter when reheated !
To prevent this happening, poke the solid fat with a fork several times. Take care not to
damage the heating element.
