9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFET Y INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed, including those in the
following pages.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Fire Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or
grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan,
be certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
‒ The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
‒ The fire department is being called.
‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cooking Safety
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as
a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating
the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

water from the cold oil zone before heating up (approx.
1 cup).
Signs of water in the frying oil or fat:
▯ rising bubbles
▯ water drops
▯ steam
▯ excessive splashing during deep frying
WARNING
Risk of burns
The deep frying oil or fat will foam over if foodstuffs that
are too wet or if excessive quantities are inserted.
Thoroughly dry wet foodstuffs before deep frying.
Remove the ice from frozen foodstuffs. Fill the frying
basket beside the deep fryer, not in or directly over the
deep fryer. Slowly lower the basket several times into
the oil or fat.
Observe caution with water near oil or fat
Water evaporating abruptly in hot oil or fat causes a
violent grease explosion. Observe the following
warnings to minimize the risk of a grease explosion.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Observe particular caution when working with water
near the hot appliance. Observe caution also when
working with water near the cold appliance. No water
should enter the frying oil or fat. Risk of a grease
explosion when heating up the deep fryer again! Always
place the stainless steel lid onto the appliance after it
has cooled down.
WARNING
Risk of burns
After cleaning, thoroughly dry deep fryer basin before
filling it with deep-frying oil or fat again.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
5
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

10
Turn the temperature control knob to 0, then you can
start up the appliance again like normal.
Cold oil zone
The water contained in the food drops down into the socalled cold oil zone under the heating element. This
largely prevents the oil from foaming over. Also chunks
that fall through the basket during deep frying sink into
the cold oil zone. The low temperatures in this area
significantly prolong the length of time the deep frying
oil or fat can be used. The foaming expansion rim serves
to collect foam generated during deep drying.

Tips and tricks
Tips for deep frying oil or fat
▯ Only use pure plant oil or fat that can be heated up
hot and is suitable for deep frying. Suitable
substances include peanut, palm or coconut oil.
Unsuitable substances include virgin olive oil, soy
or wheat germ oil. Avoid mixing different types.
Observe the manufacturer specifications.
▯ After each time deep frying, remove potentially
remaining large chunks from the deep-frying oil or
fat using a perforated spoon. You can also drain the
residue using the oil drain valve. Wait until the deep
frying oil or fat has cooled down to a maximum of
100 °F (45 °C).
▯ If you wish to reuse the deep-frying oil or fat, line a
metal strainer with a paper towel and pour the
lukewarm oil or fat through it.
▯ Replace the deep-frying oil or fat regularly, and at
the very latest once it smells or tastes unpleasant,
foams heavily or starts to smoke (at 320 - 340 °F/
160 - 170°C), or if the food no longer becomes
crispy, although the temperature is set correctly.
Rising steam from damp food shouldn't be
confused with early smoking.
▯ Put on the lid once it has cooled down. This
prevents contaminants or water from getting into
the fat.
Tips for deep frying food
▯ The following foods are suitable for deep frying:
small pieces of meat or fish, vegetables, potatoes,
pasta, fruit, breaded food.
▯ Always thoroughly dry off damp food, such as fish,
shellfish, pieces of meat, and vegetable or fruit
peels.
▯ Foods containing large amounts of water are not
suitable for deep frying.
13
Tips for deep frying
▯ Don't deep fry too large of quantities at once so
that the oil can circulate well and quickly transfer
heat to the food. Shake the food around so that it
doesn't stick to each other and the oil can circulate
better.
▯ The food should be completely immersed in deep
frying oil or fat. Otherwise it must be turned halfway
through the frying time or pushed down with
another frying basket.
▯ Fill the frying basket on a countertop next to the
deep fryer, not in or over the deep fryer. This keeps
the deep frying oil or fat free of residue for longer.
▯ Don't salt or season over the deep fryer, in order to
prevent contaminating the deep frying oil or fat.
▯ Inserting damp or frozen food causes the deep
frying oil or fat to foam particularly heavily. Lower
the frying basket slowly several times. This prevents
the fat from running over.
▯ With frozen foods, remove the ice prior to deep
frying.
▯ Set the recommended temperature.
‒ Correct temperature: Proteins form a protective
crust. This prevents much fat from penetrating.
‒ Too high of temperature: The surface of the food
becomes encrusted too quickly The insides
remain raw.
‒ Too low of temperature: The food absorbs too
much fat.
▯ Dab off freshly deep-fried food with a paper towel.
This further reduces the amount of fat.
