User manual SEVERIN FR 2414

[. . . ] Always place the appliance on a heatresistant work surface impervious to splashes and stains with sufficient surrounding space. Do not place the appliance underneath any wallcupboards or hanging objects, nor directly against a wall or in a corner. Do not melt solidified fat in an empty fryer: the heating element will not be fully submerged and may therefore overheat, possibly causing the fat to ignite at contact. Oil/fat that has been used many times before may ignite when overheated. [. . . ] Should the safety cut-out be activated repeatedly despite a sufficient oil/fat amount in the frying container, the appliance must no longer be used; please have it examined by a qualified person before it is used again. However, solidified fat may be added straight into the frying container, if it already contains liquid fat up to the minimum level mark. The fat should be cut into smaller pieces first and melted in a separate pot, ensuring that it just reaches a liquid state but is not over-heated: this is to avoid the danger of burns when pouring the fat into the frying container afterwards. Removable heating element Before the appliance is connected to the mains, the power cord must be pulled out to its full length from the storage compartment, and the heating element must be fitted. The deep fryer is equipped with a safety switch, ensuring that the appliance can be operated only if the heating element and frying container are fitted. switching the deep fryer On/Off (Timer) The timer serves to switch on the appliance. By turning the timer clockwise, the intended running-time of the appliance can be set. with the timer set to position ` ' , the appliance is permanently switched on. Before inserting the plug into a wall socket and using the timer to turn the appliance on, ensure that - the frying container and the heating element have been fitted as instructed and - the frying container has been filled with oil/fat to a safe level. After frying is completed, turn the temperature control knob back to its lowest position, set the timer to ` ' and remove the Plug from the wall socket. As soon as the frying temperature is reached, the heating element switches off and the temperature indicator lamp goes out. frying basket The basket is designed to hold the food to be fried. The basket handle must be unfolded from the frying container before use. - Use the basket handle to hang the frying basket onto its holding bracket inside the frying container. - Slightly lift up the basket to clear the holding bracket, and then lower it carefully into the hot oil/fat. removing the frying basket / drain position: - Take off the lid. - Use the basket handle to lift up the basket and place it onto the holding bracket; this position allows the oil/fat to drain back into the container (see picture I). - Once the excess oil has been drained off, lift out the basket and, if frying is completed, replace the lid. Useful hints for deep-frying Food cooked in oil is especially tasty and When the food is put into the hot oil, it is immediately sealed as a result of the high temperature, preventing fat from entering the food or juice from escaping. Do not overfill the frying basket: otherwise the temperature of the oil/fat will drop and subsequently cause the food to absorb an excessive amount of fat/oil. The quality of often-used oil/fat cannot be improved by mixing with fresh oil. The fresh oil/fat would be spoiled after a short while as well. [. . . ] Replacement filters are available through Severin Service. insert the new fat filter and replace the filter compartment cover. - The frying basket may be cleaned using hot water and a mild detergent. - The exterior of the housing may be cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth.
