[. . . ] After Frying Changing the frying oil or fat Cleaning and Care Tips Read the operating instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time and preserve this booklet for later reference. The deep fryer is intended for use in private households, for frying foodstuffs. It is not intended for use in commercial or industrial environments. Old or dirty fats and oils can spontaneously ignite themselves if overheated. [. . . ] 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!) If you do not use the deep fryer regularly it is recommended that, after cooling, the oil or liquified fat is poured into a well sealed container and stored in the refrigerator or a cool storeroom. Fill the container through a sieve, in order to remove any food particles from the oil or fat. Solid fats must still be in a liquid state so that they can be poured. Therefore pay heed to the signal tone from the timer switch, so as to avoid spoiling the food being fried. To avoid both a splattering of the fats and the appliance becoming too hot, please observe the following precautionary measures: · If you are using fresh fats, first slowly melt the blocks of fat under low heat in a normal pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fryer. When this has been done, insert the power plug into a socket and switch the deep fryer on. After use, store the deep fryer with the solidified fat at room temperatures. Should the fat become too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting!To avoid this, poke a few holes into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic spatula. To melt the fat, switch the appliance on with the On/Off switch 0 and then adjust the temperature regulator 8 to 130°C. Change the oil first when it has completely cooled down. Solid fats must still be in a liquid state so that they can be poured. Place the operating/heating element 5 at a clean and dry location. Carefully remove the stainless steel container 4 with the oil or fat from the deep fryer. Pour the oil or fat into suitable containers, for example bottles. To simplify cleaning, completely dismantle the deep fryer: 1. Pull the handle upwards until it audibly engages. Pull the operating/heating element 5 upwards from the guiding rails. Place the operating/heating element 5 at a clean and dry location. [. . . ] Splattering fats can cause serious burns. Close the appliance lid and then lower the frying basket 3 into the fat. Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley with a skimmer. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again. [. . . ]
