Warning about damage to the appliance! · When charging the stainless steel container 0 with fat, NEVER fill it to above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking. First ensure that there is sufficient oil or fat in the deep fryer every time you intend to switch the appliance on. -2- · NEVER switch the appliance on if there is no oil or liquid fat in it. · The deep fryer is only suitable for frying foodstuffs. It is not designed for cooking liquids. Before the First Use Before you use the deep fryer for the first time please clean all individual components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see Chapter "Cleaning"). Intended Use The deep fryer is intended for use in private households, for frying foodstuffs. It is not intended for use in commercial or industrial environments. Low-Acrylamide Cooking Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with amino acids when frying foodstuffs with a high starch content (at temperatures of more than 180°C). Therefore, if avoidable, do not fry foodstuffs that have a high starch content, for example chips, at temperatures in excess of 170°C. The items to be cooked should be fried until they are golden yellow, instead of dark brown. Only in this way can you achieve a low acrylamide level. Technical data Mains voltage: Rated output: Capacity Oil: Solid fats: 220-240 V ~50 Hz 1830-2180 W approx. 3 Litre approx. 2,5 kg Frying We recommend frying oil or liquid frying fat for use in this deep fryer.

Solid Cooking Fats To avoid both a splattering of the fats and the appliance becoming too hot, please observe the following precautionary measures: · If you are using fresh fats, first slowly melt the blocks of fat under low heat in a normal pan. Carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fryer. First then insert the power plug into a socket and switch the deep fryer on. · After use, store the deep fryer with the solidified fat at room temperatures. Should the fat become too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting! To avoid this, poke a few holes into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic spatula. Ensure that no damage is caused to the heating element. Frying foodstuffs 1. Slide the temperature controller 7 to the desired temperature. The whole of the control lamp 6 lights up. The oil or fat is heated to the desired temperature within 15 minutes. When the set temperature has been reached the control lamp 6 extinguishes, except for a part on the left edge, indicating the readiness of the deep fryer. -4- · To melt the fat, slide the temperature controller 7 to 150°C.
