- Carefully shake off as much ice and water as possible and dab the food to be fried until it is

properly dry.

- Do not fry large quantities at one time. Do not exceed the quantities mentioned in the food

table at the end of this booklet ( - indicates the recommended quantity).
getting rid of unwanted flavours

Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant flavour. To neutralise the

taste of the oil or fat:

Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160°C.

Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil.

Wait until no more bubbles appear and then scoop the bread or the parsley out of the fryer

with a spatula.

The oil or fat now has a neutral taste again.

Home-made French fries

You make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way:

Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water.

This prevents them from sticking to each other during frying.
Note: Dry the sticks thoroughly.

Fry the French fries twice: the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160°C, the

second time for 3-4 minutes at a temperature of 170°C.

Let the French fries cool down before you fry them for the second time.

Put the home-made French fries in a bowl and shake them.

Cleaning

Let the oil or fat cool down for at least 4 hours before you clean or move the fryer.
Never immerse the control panel with the heating element in water nor rinse it under the tap. If

necessary, clean this part with a moist cloth.
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone

to clean the appliance.

Remove the lid. (Fig. 3)

Remove the basket from the fryer.

Remove the control panel with the heating element from the fryer and put it in a safe, dry

place. (Fig. 13)

Remove the water tray from the fryer and empty it.

Lift the inner bowl out of the appliance and pour out the oil or fat (Fig. 14).

Clean the housing, the inner bowl, the lid, the water tray and the frying basket in the

dishwasher or in hot water with some washing-up liquid. Rinse them with fresh water and

dry them properly.

Make sure that all parts are dry before you fill the fryer with oil or fat.
