pieces slowly. Once the fat has me lted and the correct oil level has been r eached you can set the
desired temperature.

• When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.
• Please ensure that the handle of the deep frying basket has been correctly attached:

o Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the basket.
• The deep frying basket must not be more than 2/3 full. Do not overfill the frying basket.

In the case that food is too moist (e.g. frozen chips etc.) large amounts of foam can form, which
under certain circumstances may cause
the
oil to
overflow.
