Operating instructions
Before the First Use
Before you use the deep fryer for the first time please
clean all individual components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see Chapter "Cleaning").
Low-Acrylamide Cooking
Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance
formed from a reaction with amino acids when
frying foodstuffs with a high starch content (at
temperatures of more than 175°C).
Therefore, if avoidable, do not fry foodstuffs that
have a high starch content, for example chips, at
temperatures in excess of 170˚C. The items to be
cooked should be fried until they are golden yellow,
instead of dark brown. Only in this way can you
achieve a low acrylamide level.

Timer
You can programme in a countdown of up to 60 minutes with the timer:
• Firstly, place the timer q at 60 minutes and then
turn it back to the required countdown time. On
expiry of the countdown a signal tone sounds.
Note:
On expiry of the countdown the heating element 5
is NOT switched off! Therefore pay heed to the
signal tone from the timer switch, so as to avoid
spoiling the food being fried.
Solid Cooking Fats
To avoid both a splattering of the fats and the appliance becoming too hot, please observe the following precautionary measures:
• If you are using fresh fats, first slowly melt the
blocks of fat under low heat in a normal pan.
Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep
fryer. When this has been done, insert the power
plug into a socket and switch the deep fryer on.
• After use, store the deep fryer with the solidified
fat at room temperatures.
After Frying
• When the food is ready, pull the handle upwards
until the handle locking button w engages.
• Leave the frying basket 3 in this position to drip
off.
• Press the On/Off switch 0. The deep fryer is
now switched off. Remove the power plug from
the wall socket.
• When the food has dripped off, open the appliance lid by pressing the lid release button 6.
• Carefully lift the frying basket 3 out of the deep
fryer. If necessary, shake off any excess oil or fat
over the deep fryer.
• Tip the fried food into a bowl or a sieve (lined
with absorbent kitchen paper!)
If you do not use the deep fryer regularly it is recommended that, after cooling, the oil or liquified
fat is poured into a well sealed container and stored in
the refrigerator or a cool storeroom. Fill the container through a sieve, in order to remove any food
particles from the oil or fat. Solid fats must still be in
a liquid state so that they can be poured.
Should the fat become too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting! To avoid this, poke a few holes
into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic spatula.
Ensure that no damage is caused to the heating element.
• To melt the fat, switch the appliance on with the
On/Off switch 0 and then adjust the temperature
regulator 8 to 130˚C. The control lamp 9
glows.
• Wait until all of the fat has melted. First then set
the desired frying temperature.
Changing the frying oil or fat
Change the oil first when it has completely cooled
down. Solid fats must still be in a liquid state so that
they can be poured.
• Open the appliance lid.
• Remove the frying basket 3.
• Remove the operating/heating element 5.
Place the operating/heating element 5 at a
clean and dry location.
• Carefully remove the stainless steel container
4 with the oil or fat from the deep fryer.
- 5 -
• Pour the oil or fat into suitable containers, for
example bottles.
To simplify cleaning, completely dismantle the deep
fryer:
Note:
The disposal of cooking oils and fats is regulated
differently in every community or town. Frequently,
it is not permitted to dispose of such oils or fats with
normal household refuse. Make enquiries at your
local community administration office about suitable
disposal sites.
• Thoroughly clean all parts of the deep fryer,
as described in the Chapter "Cleaning".
• Refill the deep fryer with fresh oil or fat, as described in the Chapter „Frying“.
Cleaning and Care
Danger!
Remove the power cable from the wall socket before
cleaning. There is a risk of receiving an electric shock!
Danger!
Allow the deep fryer to cool down. Otherwise you
risk being burnt!
NEVER submerse the control and heating element 5, the power cable and plug or the appliance housing under water and NEVER clean
them under running water! This could irreparably damage the appliance. If required, clean
this element with a moist cloth.
Attention! Appliance Damage!
When cleaning the components do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or materials such
as scouring milk or steel wool. These could damage
the upper surfaces of the appliance!
1. Open the appliance lid and remove it by pulling
it upwards.
2. Pull the handle upwards until it audibly engages.
Remove the frying basket 3.
3. Pull the operating/heating element 5 upwards

move the fat or oil
• The frying basket 3 and the stainless steel container 4 can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
They are suitable for dishwashers.
• Clean the housing and the appliance lid with a
damp cloth. If required, use a mild detergent on
the cloth.
Note:
Should you wish to clean the permanent-metal filter 2
inside the appliance lid, then place the appliance
lid in warm water with a mild detergent. Allow it to
soak for a short period and slew it back and forth.
Rinse the appliance lid off with clear water. To dry
it, stand it upright on its side. This allows the water
to drain away.
• Reassemble the deep fryer in the reverse order.
• Lift the appliance with the assistance of the lateral
carrying recesses.
• Wrap the power cable around the power cable
retainer 7.
• Store the appliance with the appliance lid closed.

Tips
Home-made chips
• Potatoes intended for frying should be faultless
and not germinating.
• Use potato varieties suitable for frying, such as
"King Edward", "Morris Piper", "Cara" etc.
• After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the
intended preparation (chips or slices).
• Soak the potatoes for approx one hour before
frying. This will help remove a portion of the
sugar content, which is one of the constituent
products for the formation of acrylamides.
• Carefully dry the potatoes.
• Always fry home-made potatoes twice:
• first for 10-12 minutes at 160°C then for 3-4 minutes at 170°C, depending on the desired degree
of browning.
• Deep frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only
need to be fried once. Comply with the instructions on the packaging.
Attention!
Always close the appliance lid before lowering the
frying basket 3 into the hot oil or fat. There is a risk
of fire caused by splashing fat!
• Always insert the foodstuffs as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fryer, as deep
frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble
heftily and abruptly.
How to remove undesirable after-tastes
Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when
being fried. These fluids collect in the oil or fat and
can influence the smell and taste of fried foods that
are later cooked in the same oil or fat.
Proceed as follows to again obtain a neutral tasting
oil or fat:
• Heat the fat or oil to 160°C and and place two
thin slices of bread or a couple of small sprigs of
parsley into the frying basket 3.
Frozen Foods
Deep frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18 °C) cool the oil
or fat to a considerabe extent, because of this they
do not cook fast enough and possibly also soak up
too much oil of fat. To avoid these occurences, proceed as follows:
• Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once.
The food to be fried must be completely covered
with cooking oil/fat after lowering the frying
basket 3.
• Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting
the frozen foodstuffs.
• Adjust the temperature controller 8 to the temperature specified in these operating instructions
or on the packaging of the foodstuff.
• Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw
at room temperature. Remove as much ice and
water as possible before inserting the food into
the deep fryer.
Attention!
Absolutely close the appliance lid before lowering
the frying basket 3 with the parsley or the bread
into hot oil or fat. Splattering fats can cause serious
burns.
• Close the appliance lid and then lower the
frying basket 3 into the fat.
• Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and
remove the bread or parsley with a skimmer. The
oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.

Healthy Nutrition
Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable
oils and fats containing unsaturated fatty acids (e.g.
Linol acid). However, these oils and fats lose their
positive characteristics faster than other oils and
must therefore be exchanged more frequently.
Orientate yourself on the following guidelines:
• Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the
deep fryer mainly to prepare chips and strain
the oil or fat after every use, it can be used 10
to 12 times.
• However, do not use an oil or fat for longer than
six months. Always follow the instruction given
on the packaging.
• As a general rule, oils and fats can be used for
a lesser time if you mainly fry foods with lots of
proteins, such as meat or fish.
• Do not mix fresh oil with old oil.
• Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated,
it develops a strong taste or odour, it becomes
dark and/or it develops a syrupy consistency.
Overheat Protection
In a case of overheating, the heat protection function
switches the appliance off.
This can happen if there is no, or not sufficient, oil or
fat in the deep fryer or when solid cooking fats are
being molten in the appliance.
With solid cooking fats the heating element cannot
disburse the heat created fast enough.
If the heat protection function has switched the appliance off, please proceed as follows:
• Allow the appliance to cool down.
• Allow the oil or fat to cool down.
• Carefully press the reset button e on the rear
side of the operating element 5 with a small
pointed object. The appliance can now be used
again.
