Carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fryer. First then insert the power plug into a socket and switch the deep fryer on. · After use, store the appliance with the re-solidified fat at room temperature. Should the fat become too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting!To help prevent this, prick a series of holes into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic object. Ensure that no damage is caused to the heating element. · To melt the fat, slide the temperature controller to 150°C. · Wait until all of the fat has melted. First then set the desired frying temperature. After Frying · When the food is ready, pull the handle upwards until the handle locking button clicks in. · Leave the frying basket in this position to drip off. · Slide the temperature controller all the way to the left (, , OFF"). Remove the power plug from the wall socket. · When the food has dripped off, open the appliance lid ¹, in that you press the lid release button together. · Carefully lift the frying basket 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!)

Fill the container through a sieve, in order to remove any food particles from the oil or fat. -7- KH2000_Fritteuse_UK. qxd 27. 11. 2006 14:55 Uhr Seite 8 KH2000 Changing the frying oil or fat Change the oil only when it has completely cooled down. [. . . ] Thus, the inside of the deep fryer remains clean and dustfree. Frozen Foods Deep frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18 °C) cool the oil or fat considerably, because of this they do not cook fast enough and possibly also soak up too much oil or fat. To avoid these things, proceed as follows: · Do not fry large quantities at once (see table). · Heat the oil or fat for at least 15 minutes before inserting the frozen foodstuffs. · Adjust the temperature controller to the temperature setting given either in these operating instructions or on the packaging.
