Practical tips

1. Oil or fat
- Never operate your fryer without oil.
- Always use an oil which can withstand high
temperatures.
- Do not mix oils of different qualities.
- Change the oil when it becomes brown
(every 10 to 12 uses, depending on the
cooking done).
Important: Before each use, make holes in
the solid fat with a non-metallic spatula to
the bottom of the bowl, in order to allow any
water trapped under the fat to escape in the
form of steam
2. Preparing foods for frying
- No matter what the recipe, food must be
perfectly dry: this will prevent overflowing
and extend the life of the oil.
- When dishes include raw potatoes (chips,
crisps and potato straws), wash them in cold
water to get rid of the starch. This will stop
them from sticking together. Dry them
carefully with paper kitchen towel.
- When preparing frozen foods, before
cooking, remove any ice crystals on them
by shaking the basket over the sink.
3. Using the paper filter
. If your fryer is equipped with a filter paper
and its holder, you should only use these
for frying foods in breadcrumbs (they
prevent the crumbs from falling into the bath
of oil).
Before putting the food in, you should:
. Take out the basket, allow it to cool, remove
5
the holder (C4) and hook the filter paper in
place (C3) then refit the holder and its filter
in the basket.
. Replace the handle / basket assembly.
Note:
- If you use a paper filter, replace it after every
use.
4. Cooking
- Do not overfill the basket, or you will cause
the temperature of the hot oil to drop too
much, and this will make the food too greasy.
The capacity of your appliance is limited to:
. 1.2 kg of fresh chips
. 1 kg of frozen chips
- Do not leave your appliance heating
unnecessarily. Avoiding overheating when
frying will extend the life of your oil.
- The appliance will automatically go into
standby mode after about 20 minutes of non-
use.
- Do not leave your cooked foods in the bas-
ket in the draining position for too long, as
the steam may soften them.
