[. . . ] Never use the deep fryer without oil or below the MIN level because this could damage the element. The oil becomes very hot and you can get burned. Wait to move the deep fryer until the oil has cooled off. The deep fryer is protected with a thermal safety device, which switches the machine off automatically if it overheats. [. . . ] Since the deep fryer becomes hot during use, make sure that it is not too close to other objects. Remove the lid from deep fryer and take out the accessories. Fill the deep fryer with the desired amount of oil or fat. Make sure that it is filled to the minimum level but not higher that the maximum level as indicated on the inside of the appliance. For best results, we recommend that you do not mix different types of oil together. Choose the temperature, which is suitable for what you are frying. Use the handle to place the basket in the fryer. Place the food to be deep-fried into the basket. For best results, put dry food into the basket. This is especially important with home made chips etc. Lower the basket into the oil slowly to prevent excessive bubbling. The indicator light will go out when the temperature you have selected has been reached. To keep the oil at the selected temperature, the thermostat repeatedly goes on and off, and the indicator light as well. Raise the basket again when the frying time has elapsed. Rinse the handle and the basket after use, and dry thoroughly. Once the deep fryer has completely cooled off, you can replace the basket in the appliance and store it. Store the deep fryer with the lid closed, in a dark place. In this way, you can leave the oil and the basket in the deep fryer when storing. FRYING TIPS Use a maximum of 200 grams of French fries per litre of oil for best results. When using fries made from fresh potatoes, dry the fries after washing so that no water will go into the oil. First stage (prefrying): 5 to 10 minutes at 170 degrees c. Second stage (final frying) 2 to 4 minutes at 190 degrees c. FRYING TABLE TYPE OF FOOD Pre-fry chips Final fry chips Fondue Parmesan Cheese croquettes Meat/fish/potato/croquettes Fish Fish sticks Cheese fritters Doughnuts Meat croquettes Chicken Scampi fritters TO REPLACE THE OIL Make sure that the deep fryer and the oil have totally cooled off before replacing the oil (remove the plug from the socket!). This is definitely necessary if the oil becomes dark, or takes on a different odour. [. . . ] With this appliance, if a 13 amp plug is used a 13 amp fuse should be fitted.
