Important
• Read these instructions in conjunction with the illustrations before using the appliance.
• Before plugging the appliance in, check if the voltage indicated at the bottom of the
appliance is the same as the mains voltage in your home.
• Never immerse the deep fat fryer in water.
• Clean the various parts with a damp cloth prior to use. Ensure that they are thoroughly dry
before filling the deep fat fryer with oil or fat.
• Do not switch on the deep fat frying pan until you have filled it with oil or fat.
When melting fat: initially select 160 °C and do not select a higher temperature until the fat
is completely melted. Melt the pieces of fat on the bottom of the fryer and not in the frying
basket.
• Use oils and fats which contain an anti-foaming agent and are specifically recommended for
deep fat frying. This information can be found on the packing of these oils/fats.
• Always fill with oil or fat to the level between the measure indications MIN and MAX.
Before you start frying, always check if there is still sufficient oil/fat in the fryer.
• Do not exceed the maximum quantities indicated in the table. Never fill the basket higher
than up to
3
⁄4.
If the basket is overfilled, hot fat/oil may flow over the fryer rim.
• During the process hot steam comes through the filter in the lid. Keep your hands and face
away from this steam.
• Keep the deep fat fryer out of the reach of children at all times especially when in use.
• Remove the plug from the mains socket after use, so that the oil or fat can cool down.
Do not move the fryer until it has cooled sufficiently.
• Keep these instructions for future reference.
• For type HD 4282: During frying with the lid on, condensation will collect on the underside
of the lid. When removing the lid, do so very carefully to avoid the condensation from
dripping into the hot oil/fat as this will cause spattering.
Deep fat frying
- Pull the needed amount of mains cord (max.
1 m) out of the appliance (fig. 3).
Any excess of mains cord can be slid back
inside the appliance.
• Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of
the table or sink.
• Ensure that the mains cord will not touch hot
surfaces.
- Fill the (dry) fryer with oil or fat to the indication
line MAX (2 litres of oil or 1800 grammes of
solid fat) (fig. 4).
Note: Never mix two different types of oil and/or
fat.
- Close the fryer: then the oil/fat will heat up
quicker (fig. 5a, 5b).
- Insert the plug into the mains socket, the pilot
light will switch on (fig. 6).
• If you are using solid fat, first set the
temperature knob to 160 °C. Wait for all the fat to
melt.
