FRYING FROZEN FOODS
Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures. Consequently, they significantly lower the temperature of the liquid
used for cooking.
For best results, never exceed the maximum recommended quantity of food when frying.
Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice; this ice should be removed before cooking. Immerse the basket
in the oil very slowly to prevent the oil from boiling over.
The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted according to the initial temperature of the food being fried
and the temperatures indicated on the packaging of the food.
Food Max quantity. (g.) Temperature (°C) Time (minutes)
Pre-cooked frozen potato chips 600 180 9 - 11
Potato croquettes 700 180 9 - 11
Fish Fish-fingers 500 180 7 - 8
Fish fillets 500 180 6 - 7
Meat Chicken cutlets 300 180 5 - 6
CLEANING
Before cleaning, make sure that the power plug is disconnected.
Never immerse the deep fryer in water and never place it under running tap water (see Fig. 8). The infiltration of
water into the control unit may cause electrocution.
Check that the oil has cooled down, and then remove the control unit and drain the oil. Remove the deposits from
the bowl using a sponge or absorbent paper.
Except for the control unit, power cable and heating element, all the other parts can be cleaned with warm water
and dishwashing detergent.
Never use abrasive sponges, to avoid damaging the deep fryer.
When this procedure has been completed, carefully dry all parts, to prevent hot oil from spraying out during
operation.
OPERATING FAULTS
FAULT
Bad smell
The oil
overflows
Food does not brown during cooking
The oil does not heat up
CAUSE
The oil has deteriorated.
The cooking liquid is unsuitable.
The oil has deteriorated and causes too
much foam.
You have immersed food which is not
sufficiently dry in the hot oil.
The basket has been immersed too
quickly. The oil level in the deep fryer is
over the maximum limit.
Oil temperature is too low.
The basket is over loaded
The deep fryer has previously been used
without oil in the fryer bowl, causing the
thermal safety device to break.
REMEDY
Replace the oil or fat.
Use a good quality sunflower or
vegetable oil oil.
Replace the oil or fat.
Dry the food well.
Immerse it slowly.
Reduce the amount of oil in the
fryer bowl.
Select a higher temperature.
Reduce a food quantity.
