Before using for the first time Cleaning and heating up for the first time Before using the fryer for the first time clean it as follows: ^ Fill the oil reservoir with approx. 4 litres of water and add a little washing up liquid. Ensure that the water level is not higher than the maximum level indicator which is marked at the back of the reservoir. Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.
Using the fryer Switching on and off Before frying To switch the fryer on, turn the control in a clockwise direction a. To switch off, turn the control anti-clockwise b to "0". Before frying make sure that the oil reservoir has been filled with enough frying oil or fat (min. 3 litres / 3 kg, max. 4 litres / 4 kg). You cannot turn the control to "0" by turning it past 200 °C. Only use oil / fat which is suitable for frying in and which can be heated to a high temperature.
Using the fryer Frying Proceed as follows: ^ Set the frying temperature required (see chart) and wait until the temperature indicator light goes out for the first time. The oil has now reached the set temperature. ^ Carefully lower the frying basket containing the food to be fried into the hot oil. If the oil froths a lot, lift the basket out of the oil briefly and then slowly lower it into the hot fat again. ^ When the food is cooked, lift the basket out of the hot oil.

Using the fryer Frying tips Handling and preparing food correctly is essential for maintaining good health. Food should be fried until it is golden brown. Do not let it get too dark. Never add salt to food in hot fat. This could cause the fat to boil over. – The oil or fat needs to be hot enough to seal the food quickly. If the temperature is too low the food will absorb too much fat, making it difficult to digest.
Using the fryer After frying Switch the fryer off and filter the oil. This not only removes impurities which can affect the taste of the food, but will help the oil last longer. Proceed as follows: ^ Allow the oil to cool down, but not to solidify. If it has solidified it can be melted by heating the fryer up to 100 °C. ^ Place a heat resistant container of a suitable size, e.g. a metal pan, beneath the drain tap under the appliance. ^ Open the drain tap by turning it anti-clockwise a as far as it will go.
Using the fryer Safety cut-out switch Your fryer is fitted with a safety cut-out which automatically switches it off if: – the oil reservoir is not filled to at least the lower level indicator. – the fryer is switched on when empty. – the fryer is switched on when the heating element has been raised (e.g. for cleaning). The fryer has cut out automatically when neither the temperature indicator light nor the operating indicator light is on and the oil is no longer being heated.
Cleaning and care General notes Clean the appliance regularly, preferably after each use. Allow the appliance to cool down to a safe temperature before cleaning. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Cleaning and care Frying basket Oil reservoir After each use, clean the frying basket by hand with hot water and a little washing up liquid and then dry it thoroughly. It is best to soak stubborn soiling before cleaning. The handle can be removed for cleaning. ^ Drain the oil out of the reservoir before cleaning (see "After frying"). Then raise the heating element. The frying basket must not be washed in a dishwasher. ^ Use kitchen paper towel to remove any large particles.
Cleaning and care Stainless steel surround Glass control panel Clean the stainless steel surround with hot water and a little washing up liquid applied with a soft sponge.
