Operating features
Lid
The lid is opened by pressing the lid release button. The lid is spring-
loaded and lifts up automatically once the button is pressed. To close the
lid, press it down until it locks into place.
When the open lid is in a vertical position, it may be removed for
cleaning by pulling it gently upwards.
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.
Frying container
✦ Fill level:
During the pre-heating phase, the oil level must be between the
minimum and maximum level marks, which can be found inside the
frying container at the rear.
The maximum fill capacity of the container is approx. 2.5 litres.
✦ Types of oil or fat to be used:
Only pure vegetable oil or solidified fat should be used in this deep
fryer. It can be safely heated up to 220° C and has a neutral taste.
Do not mix different kinds of oil or fat.
✦ 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.
Frying basket
The basket is designed to hold the food to be fried. Ensure that the
basket is not over-filled. The deep fryer can accommodate a maximum
of 500g of chips (French fries). Please refer to Useful hints for deep-
frying.
With the lid closed, the basket can be lowered into the hot oil from the
outside by its handle. To lower the basket, use the lock/release button
integrated in the handle and move the handle down.
To raise the basket clear of the oil, move the handle upwards until it
locks in a horizontal position.
