Operation Frying tips Handling and cooking food correctly is essential for maintaining good health. Food should only be fried until golden, not dark brown. Never add salt to hot fat/oil. This will cause the fat/oil to boil over. - The fat/oil needs to be hot enough to seal the food quickly. If the temperature is too low, the food will absorb too much fat/oil, making it difficult to digest.
Operation After frying Hot fat/oil. You could burn yourself on the hot fat/oil. Always wait until the fat/oil has cooled down before draining. Make sure that the container you use for draining the fat/oil into is heat-resistant. Switch the fryer off and filter the fat/oil. This not only removes impurities, which can affect the taste of the food, but will help the fat/oil last longer.
Safety features Safety shut-off Your fryer has a safety shut-off feature. It will switch the heating off automatically if: Turn the knob to 0 and wait until the heater element has cooled down. - The oil reservoir is not filled to at least the lower level marker. - The fryer is switched on when empty. - The fryer is switched on when the heater element has been raised (e.g., for cleaning). Use a pen or similar to press the pin on the front right-hand side of the fryer in.
Cleaning and care Danger of burning due to hot surfaces. The surfaces will be hot after cooking. Switch the fryer off. Allow the surfaces to cool down before cleaning the fryer. Risk of damage due to moisture ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the fryer. Abrasive cleaning agents and scouring sponges may only be used to clean the heater element.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the stainless-steel frame/control panel and cover Risk of damage caused by pointed objects. The seal between the frame and the countertop could be damaged. Do not use pointed objects for cleaning. Damage due to soiling. Soiling, particularly salty food or liquid and olive oil, can cause damage if left on the printed surfaces for a long time. Remove such soiling immediately. Damage due to incorrect cleaning. Stainless-steel cleaners rub off the printed symbols.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the oil reservoir Cleaning the frying basket Clean the frying basket after each use with hot water and liquid dish soap. Do not clean the frying basket in the dishwasher. Drain the fat/oil or water (if the fryer has been used for cooking pasta) out of the reservoir before cleaning (see “After frying” in the “Operation” chapter). Then raise the heater element. Use kitchen paper to remove any coarse soiling.
