• Observe the filling mark (4) inside the fried stuff container (9). Do not fill in too much or too little oil or fat in the
fried stuff container (9).
• Burning hazard! Be careful while handling hot oils, fats or other fluids! This is particularly important if the
unit is being pushed along with the contents. Watch out for oil sprays and vapours!
• See that the frying basket (16) fits correctly in the fried stuff container (9) and that the lid (8) is closed
completely. Do not operate the unit with the lid (8) open!

• Clean the unit as described under
Cleaning and Care
. Particularly the frying basket (16), fried stuff container (9)
and gripping handle (13). Dry all parts before use.
• Tip: The unit, on its first use, might emit light smell or smoke. It is however of no consequence and lasts only
briefly. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
OPERATION
• Prepare the stuff to be fried.
• Open the lid (8) of the unit and remove the frying basket (16).
• Now fill in some suitable foodstuff grade oil in the fried stuff container (9). We recommend using a good,
vegetable-base oil. Fill the oil at least up to the minimum marking (4), found inside the fried stuff container (9).
Take care not to exceed the maximum marking (4) in any case.
• Using solid frying fat: First, melt fat in a pot on low heat. Then fill in the melted fat in the fried stuff container
(9) very carefully.
• Using fat hardened in the fried stuff container (9): Poke the fat with a fork before heating. Take care not to
damage the frying basket (16) and the fried stuff container (9). Then heat the fat on low heat.
• Please do not use any margarine or butter; it starts smoking even at very low temperature!
• Caution: Danger of spraying! Dry the damp frying stuff before frying it.
• Turn the controller (7) in a counter-clockwise direction up to the end point (= Position
OFF
).
• Connect the mains plug (11) to a socket. The display POWER (5) lights up.
• Place the desired stuff to be fried in the frying basket (16). The stuff to be fried must not rise above the
maximum marking (4) made on the top side of the frying basket (16).
Frying stuff rising above this maximum marking (4) is not fried as well as one would desire.
• Set the controller (7) on the desired temperature, turning it in the clockwise direction. The duration of frying and
the requisite temperature depend on the nature and composition of the stuff to be fried. Please follow the
information given by the relevant foodstuff manufacturer. The following temperatures are given as guidelines:

Vegetables 140ºC 4 – 6 Min.
Bread/ pasta 150ºC 4 - 5 Min.
