[. . . ] If this occurs, remove the plug from the wall socket and place the lid on the appliance in order to smother the flames. Never pour water into hot or burning oil/fat. Never carry or move the appliance when it is hot, e. g. during or immediately after use (because of the danger of tripping). [. . . ] Note: the difference between the minimum and maximum marks is approx. - Types of oil/fat to be used: Only pure vegetable oil/solidified fat should be used in this deep fryer. It can be heated up to 220° C and is neutral in taste. Oil: We recommend the use of oil specifically intended for deep-frying, which may be safely heated to high temperatures. The maximum safe capacity of the container is approx. Solidified fat: Never melt solidified fat in an empty fryer. 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 7 Thermal safety cut-out Should the oil/fat level fall below the safe level for operation, the integral thermal safety cut-out will be activated and the heating element is switched off. If this occurs, allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down, then add the required amount of oil/fat. Use the reset lever inside the power cord storage compartment to reset the safety cut-out. Only after a reset can the appliance be used again. Take special care to defrost deep-frozen food thoroughly before frying. Moisture reduces the lifespan of frying oil/fat. For good results, the right temperature setting is a decisive factor when deep- frying. If the oil/fat is not sufficiently hot, the food may take in too much oil/fat. It is therefore best to insert the food basket only once the heating up period is complete and the pre-set temperature level has been reached. However, if the oil/fat is too hot, a crust will be built up too fast while the inner part of the food remains uncooked. Deep-frozen or partly frozen food should be briefly inserted into the hot oil/fat once or twice before the actual process. To prevent the oil/fat from frothing over, the frying basket should be lowered slowly and cautiously into the hot oil/fat. The food should be allowed to float freely without the pieces touching each other. When using battered food, make sure that the batter is firmly attached to the food and all excess flour is removed. Often-used oil/fat is readily recognisable as it is viscous and darker in colour, and gives off an unpleasant smell or tends to foam. [. . . ] Once cold, it may be disposed of together with your household refuse. - The frying container should be removed before cleaning it in hot water or in a dish-washer. Ensure that it is thoroughly dried afterwards. - The lid may be cleaned using hot water and a mild detergent. [. . . ]
