Turn the temperature control knob to 0. Then you can operate the appliance again normally.

Cold oil zone

Any water contained in the food sinks to the bottom of the deep fryer into so-called cold oil zone below the heating element. This prevents the oil frothing over. Also, any particles of food which break away during frying fall through the basket and sink to this cold zone. The lower temperature in this zone prevents the oil breaking down and considerably prolongs the time for which the oil or fat can be used. The foaming edge contains the foam that occurs during deep frying.

De-activating the child lock

Turn the timer control knob to the left to the minus

position. Hold the knob in this position.

2 Turn the temperature control knob to the right to

Tips and tricks

Tips regarding the deep frying oil or fat

▯ Only use pure vegetable oil or fat which has a

high smoking point and which is suitable for deep frying. Suitable oils are for example peanut, palm or coconut oil. Unsuitable oils are for example virgin olive oil, soya or wheat germ oil. Avoid using mixtures of different fats. Observe the manufacturers’ instructions.

▯ After every use of the deep fryer, remove any

resulting remainders of food from the oil or fat using a slotted spoon. Alternatively you can remove the residues by opening the drain valve. Wait until the deep frying oil or fat has cooled to at least 40°C.

▯ If you want to reuse the deep frying oil or fat, line

a metal sieve with kitchen paper and filter the lukewarm oil or fat through the paper.

▯ Replace the deep frying oil or fat if you notice an

unpleasant smell or taste, if it foams violently, if it starts smoking at 160 - 170°C or if the deep fried food no longer becomes the usual crispy brown despite the correct temperature setting. The smoking is not to be confused with rising steam when deep frying moist food.

▯ After cooling down, close the lid. This avoids

pollutants or water getting into the fat.

Tips regarding the food

Tips regarding the deep frying

▯ Do not deep fry very large quantities at once so

that the oil can circulate and release the heat quickly to the food. Shake the frying basket with the food to avoid it sticking and to help the oil circulate.

▯ The food should be completely covered by the

deep frying oil or fat. Turn large food items after the first halve of the frying time or push them down with a second frying basket.

▯ Fill the food into the frying basket on the worktop

beside the deep fryer. Do not fill the frying basket directly over the deep fryer. This will help keep the deep frying oil or fat free from residues.

▯ Do not salt or season the food above the deep

fryer to avoid soiling of the deep frying oil or fat.

▯ Moist or frozen food leads to particularly hefty

foaming of the oil or fat when it is inserted. Slowly lower the filled basket several times. This prevents overflowing of the fat.

▯ Remove ice from deep frozen foodstuffs before

deep frying.

▯ Set the recommended temperature.

‒ Correct temperature: proteins form a

protective crust. Only a small amount of fat is absorbed.

‒ Temperature too high: the food is browned too

quickly and remains raw on the inside.

‒ Temperature too low: the food absorbs too

much oil or fat.

▯ Dab freshly deep fried food with kitchen paper to

reduce the amount of fat even more.

▯ The following are suitable for deep frying: small

pieces of meat and fish, vegetables, potatoes, pastries, fruit and breaded food.

▯ Moist foods such as fish, shellfish, pieces of

meat, vegetables or fruit slices must be thoroughly dried.

▯ Foods with a high water content are not suitable

for deep frying.
