WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Hot steam is released during the deep-frying process, espe-
cially when the lid is opened. Keep a safe distance away from the steam.
Ensure that all parts are completely dry before pouring oil
or liquid fat into the deep fat fryer. Otherwise, hot oil or fat could splatter out.
Carefully pat all foodstuffs dry before placing them in the
deep fat fryer. Otherwise, hot oil or fat could splatter out.
Be especially careful with frozen foodstuffs. Remove any ice
that may have formed on them. The more ice there is on the foodstuff, the more the hot oil or fat will splatter.
Some parts of the appliance become very hot during operation.
Touching these may cause serious burns.
The appliance should be set up in a stable position using the
handles to avoid spillage of hot liquids.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!
Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote
control system to operate the appliance.
Never melt solid fat (fat in blocks) in the deep fat fryer. Due
to the high temperatures that are generated before the fat covers the heating element, the heating element can be damaged or there could be a fire! Melt the fat beforehand in a saucepan or similar.

heated. Change the oils or fats regularly. In the case of a fire, remove the plug from the mains power socket and smother the burning fat or oil with a damp towel or fire blanket.
CAUTION – APPLIANCE DAMAGE!
When filling the frying container with fat, never fill it to
above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking. Whenever you intend to switch the appliance on, first ensure that there is sufficient oil or fat in the deep fat fryer.

Before first use
Before you use the deep fat fryer for the first time, please clean all individual
components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see chapter “Cleaning and care”).
Low-acrylamide cooking
Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with amino acids when frying foodstuffs with a high starch content. The formation of acrylamide increases dramatically at temperatures of more than 175°C.
You should therefore avoid frying foodstuffs with a high starch content, for example chips, at temperatures above 170°C. The foodstuffs should only be fried to golden-yellow, instead of dark or brown. This is the only way to achieve low-acrylamide cooking.
Deep frying
We recommend cooking oil or liquid cooking fat for use in this deep fat fryer. You can also use solid cooking fats. Read the chapter “Solid cooking fats” for more information.

7) Close the appliance lid.
NOTE
The frying process can be monitored through the viewing window in the lid
of the appliance.
Solid cooking fats
To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming too hot, please take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:
When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly, under low
heat, in a normal saucepan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fat fryer. Only when this has been done should you insert the plug into a mains power socket and switch the deep fat fryer on.
After use, store the deep fat fryer with the solidified fat at room temperature.
If the fat gets too cold, it could splatter out upon re-melting! To avoid this,
pierce a few holes in the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic skewer. Ensure that you do not damage the frying container coating .
To melt the fat, plug the appliance into the mains power socket, set the
on/off switch to the “I” position and turn the temperature control to 130˚C. The Power control lamp  lights up.
Wait until all of the fat has melted. The Ready control lamp may come
on and go out several times during this process. Do not set the desired frying temperature until all of the fat has melted.
