PETRA CLASSIC FAMILY CASTEL 3L ART. 182626
BEFORE USING
Read these instructions thoroughly first and keep them for future reference. Only connect this appliance to an
earthed socket. Before use, remove the packaging and wash the accessories and pan in warm water. Dry well
before using. Ensure that all electrical parts remain completely dry. The Petra fryer comes complete with adju-
stable thermostat and indicator light. The indicator light goes on when the fryer is heating up. As soon as it goes
off, the set temperature has been reached. The 'open' frying system means you get the same professional results
you'd expect from a restaurant and also makes cleaning a breeze.
OPERATING THE FRYER
This type of fryer is only suitable for use with oil or liquid fat, and not for solid fat. Using solid fat entails
the risk of trapping water in the fat which will cause it to spatter violently when heated up. Also ensure that
the oil/fat is not contaminated with water, for example from frozen products, as this will cause excessive
spattering.
- Never use the fryer without oil or fat as this will damage the appliance. Never pour any other liquids, such as
water, into the pan.
- Place the fryer on a dry, sturdy surface. As the fryer heats up during cooking, make sure it is not too close to
any other objects.
- Open the lid of the fryer.
- Fill the appliance with the required amount of oil or fat. Ensure that the appliance is filled at least to the
minimum level and not higher than the maximum level, as indicated on the inside of the fryer. For optimal
results, we advise against mixing different types of oil.
- Select the temperature for the item you wish to fry. Consult the temperature table for information on this.
- Use the handle to place the basket in the deep fryer.
- Place the food to be fried in the basket. Ensure that the ingredients to be fried are taken out of the freezer well
in advance so that there is no ice left on them. For best results, the food should be dry before being placed in
the basket.
- Immerse the basket slowly to prevent the oil from bubbling up too strongly and place the lid back onto the fryer.
- The light will go out when the desired temperature has been reached. Always wait until the fryer reaches the
set temperature. To ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature, the
thermostat will switch on and off. The indicator light will also go on and off.
- Lift the basket when the frying time has elapsed and hang it on the hook in the pan so that the oil can drip off.
- After use, always pull the plug from the socket.
- Once the deep fryer has totally cooled off, you can put the fryer away. Store the deep fryer, with the lid closed,
in a dry and dark place. You can leave the oil and the basket in the deep fryer.
FRYING TIPS
- Shake frozen products above the sink to remove excess ice.
- When fresh chips are used: dry the chips after washing them to ensure no water gets into the oil.
- Fry the chips in two turns: First time (blanch) 5 to 10 minutes at 170 degrees. Second time (finishing) 2 to 4
minutes at 175 degrees. Allow the oil to drip off.
