Preface Deep frying with your new deep fryer will be even more fun than before. Among other things, the appliance offers you the following advantages: – a gentle fat melting stage – thanks to exact (electronic) temperature control, the surfaces of deep fried titbits can be closed so fast that deep frying oil or fat cannot penetrate into the food you are cooking. This ensures that proteins, vitamins and minerals are retained.
1. Important notes 1.1 For your safety You must not operate the appliance if it is damaged. The appliance must only be connected by an authorised specialist, paying attention to the relevant regulations of the power supply companies and the regional construction regulations. Observe the assembly instructions! When connecting electrical appliances in the proximity of the deep fryer, make sure that connecting cables do not come into contact with hot cooking surfaces.
1.3 About use The appliance is intended solely for use in the household and must not be put to any other uses. Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must not be used to heat up the room in which it is installed. Keep ventilation openings open (doors, extractor hoods and windows). Do not store any combustible items inside the appliance. During operation, only ever leave the items you need inside the appliance. If a fire should break out, remove the mains plug and place the lid on the deep fryer.
2. Structure and operating principle 2.1 Structure of the appliance 1 Deep frying basket suspension 2 Foaming edge 3 Heating element (2300 W) 1 2 3 0 0 190 Fig. 2 180 4 160 5 Panel: 6 0 0 190 180 Fig. 3 160 4 Display offering the following possibilities: — (heating) symbol — Display of the set temperature — Display of the set short time — (limiter) symbol 5 “Short time" knob, featuring the + and – options 6 “Temperature" knob (adjustment range 135-190 °C) with fat melting stage 2.
During deep frying, the heat that is generated by the appliance is transmitted by the fat to the food you are cooking. When this fast cooking method is employed, a tasty crust is formed around the cooked food. The deep frying temperature range lies between 160 and 180°C. The maximum temperature is 190°C. A higher temperature would result in a consistency change in the deep frying fat or oil. 2.
3. Operation 3.1 Switching on /off “Temperature" knob The temperature can be set within the range from 135-190 °C. The fat melting stage can also be set. 0 0 190 180 160 “Short time" knob The short time can be set within a range from 1 minute to 90 minutes (Fig. 7). The appliance is not switched off by the short-time reminder. Fig. 7 0 Switching on: Turn the “Temperature" knob to the temperature you require. The chosen temperature is shown on the display.
3.2 Fat melting stage – Place approximately 3 kg of crushed fat in the deep fryer. 0 0 190 180 Fig. 11 160 – Turn the “Temperature" control knob to the fat melting stage position on the right. In this position, the fat is melted slowly and overheating of the heating element, and thus damaging of the appliance, are prevented. The (heating) symbol flashes on the display and 100°C is displayed. or – Turn the “Temperature" control knob to the right to the fat melting stage position .
3.3 And this is how to deep fry (see also 7.1) 0 – Set the required temperature with the temperature control knob. The required temperature has been reached as soon as the (heating) symbol goes off. 0 190 180 Fig. 12 160 Important: Only ever switch on the appliance after having placed deep frying fat or oil in the deep frying tub. Deep frying fat must be melted (see front)! – Briefly dip the deep frying basket into the hot fat or oil. The optimum quantity is 3-3.5 l of oil (or 3 kg of fat).
3.4 Operating the child lock Activating the child lock – Turn the “Short time" control knob to the left to the minus position. Hold the knob in this position. 0 – Turn the “Temperature" control knob to any temperature on the right. 0 190 180 160 – Turn the “Temperature" control knob back to the 0 position. – Turn the “Short time" knob back to the 0 position. The symbol (child lock) flashes on the display (Fig. 14).
4. Cleaning and care Fig. 16 Caution! Risk of burns! Wait until the appliance has cooled down completely before cleaning it. Never switch on the fryer as long as the heating element is tilted up. Please clean the appliance thoroughly before operating it for the first time. Cleaning the deep frying tub: – Take out the deep frying basket and tilt up the heating element. Clamp the heating element onto the deep frying basket suspension (Fig. 16).
5. Draining the deep frying oil Draining the deep frying oil and fat Drain used oil only after it has cooled down. Melt used fat at the melting stage. In the cold oil zone, the fat melts only slowly. Use a temperature-resistant bucket with a capacity of at least 10 litres to collect the oil/fat. Water that collects in the cold oil zone can also be drained by way of the oil drain plug. Fig.
6. Maintenance The appliance must always be disconnected from the mains when being repaired. If the appliance does not function correctly, check the fuses first. If the power supply is functioning correctly, but your appliance still does not work, please contact your dealer or your local Gaggenau customer service agency. Specify the appliance type (see rating plate on the rear of the operating and assembly instructions).

7.3 Tips and tricks – If you have large quantities of food to deep fry, you are advised to remove the basket from the tub after 1-2 minutes to allow the oil or fat to assume the selected temperature faster. The deep fried food will also become crisper. – After every use of the deep fryer, remove any resulting remainders of food from the oil or fat.
