Using The Appliance For The First Time - WMF KÜCHENminis Gebrauchsanweisung

▪ CAUTION - fire hazard! You must be extremely cautious when using the appliance with hot oil
or other fats. Hot oil and fats are highly flammable, especially after being used a number of times
and/or when dirty. Never pour water onto hot or burning oil. If flames appear, close the lid of the
deep-fryer if possible in order to extinguish the flames. In the event of overheating, immediately
pull out the power cord.
▪ The manufacturer declines all liability in case of improper use or repair of the appliance. Warranty
claims will be deemed invalid in such cases.
Setting up and connecting
▪ Remove all packaging from the appliance.
▪ Clean the appliance (see chapter "Cleaning and care").
Set up the appliance on a stable and level surface near to a plug socket. Make sure that the
appliance is positioned on a horizontal, heat-insulated and grease-resistant surface.
Note regarding the use of oil and fat
The best frying results are achieved with a high-quality peanut oil.
Do not mix different types of oil.
When using solid fat, this must be cut into small pieces so that the deep-fryer does not heat up empty
in the first few minutes. The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has completely melted.
Only then can you set the actual required temperature.

Using the appliance for the first time

▪ Make sure that the oil pot engages completely and correctly into the housing.
▪ The deep-fryer must only be put into operation once the oil or fat has been added.
▪ Add the desired amount of oil or fat to the oil pot. Make sure that the filling quantity is between
the minimum marking (MIN 0.8 l) and the maximum marking (MAX 1.0 l)
▪ Close the lid to heat the oil more quickly.
▪ Now insert the power cord into the socket.
▪ Turn the temperature control knob to the right to reach the desired temperature level or set to
150°C if you are using solid grease. While the appliance is heating the oil, the LED lights up red. As
soon as the set temperature level is reached, the LED goes out.
▪ You can now put the food in the deep-frying basket. Take care not to put too much food in the
deep-frying basket. The best frying results are achieved when the food can float in the oil with
sufficient space.
▪ Then close the lid and slowly dip the deep-frying basket into the hot oil by lowering the handle.
▪ It is normal for condensation water to form on the window and lid during the deep-frying process.
▪ After the desired cooking time, lift the basket out of the oil by lifting the handle. After a brief
draining time, you can now open the lid by pressing the lid opening button and remove the deep-
frying basket from the deep-fryer using the handle.
Caution! Hot steam may escape during this step.
▪ Depending on what food is being fried, we recommend placing the food on a piece of kitchen roll
to remove excess oil.
▪ If you want to carry out a second deep-frying, make sure that there are no remains from the
first deep-frying floating in the oil. These would burn during a second deep-frying, and can taste
unpleasant.
