Children under 8 must not be permitted to operate this appliance. Older children of 8 or more, however, may operate the appliance if they are under constant supervision.  The appliance may only be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved. [. . . ] Push the button in with a suitable wooden or plastic rod. The appliance is now ready for use again. Should the safety cut-out be activated repeatedly despite a sufficient amount of oil/ fat in the frying container, the appliance must no longer be used; please have it examined by a qualified person before it is used again. Before using for the first time Before first use, the unit should be cleaned as described in General care and cleaning Inspection window The inspection window is helpful when monitoring the frying process. To prevent condensation from water vapour, a little oil should be applied to the inside of the window. Temperature control The temperature control is used to select the desired temperature level indicator lamps The red indicator lamp is on while the appliance is heating up. The green indicator lamp lights up on once the pre-set temperature level has been reached. Frying container The recess below the heating element acts as a cooling area where residual particles resulting from the frying process, as well as other impurities, are collected. The circulation of the oil/fat results in a lower temperature level around the recess area. This collection process extends the life-span of the frying oil/fat. inserting the frying container: Place the frying container into the housing. Fill amount: Before heating up, the oil/fat level must be between the minimum and maximum fill level marks inside the frying container. 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. 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 into the corresponding guide slots at the rear of the unit. The deep fryer is equipped with a safety switch; however, it must be operated only with the heating element and frying container fitted. Frying basket The basket holds the food to be fried; the The handle must be fitted to the basket Before use: press the two arms together and slide the two angled pieces through the support inside the basket. [. . . ] Once the temperature has dropped sufficiently, you may also remove the frying container carefully and pour out the oil/fat into a heat-resistant container. The oil/fat can be filtered by pouring it through absorbent paper inserted into a heat-resistant funnel or into the frying basket itself. Do not pour frying oil/fat down the kitchen sink. Once cold, it may be disposed of together with your household refuse. [. . . ]
