thoroughly before you put it back into the lid and before you start using the appliance again.

Changing oil or fat
Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat
regularly.To do so, follow the instructions below.
If you mainly use the fryer to prepare French fries and if you sieve the oil or fat after each use, you
can re-use the oil or fat 10 to 12 times before it needs to be changed. If you use the fryer to
prepare food that is rich in proteins (such as meat or fish), you should change the oil or fat more
often.
Never use the same oil or fat longer than 6 months and always follow the instructions on the
package.
Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
Never mix different types of oil or fat.
Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or
taste or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
Disposing of used oil or fat
Pour used oil or liquid fat back into its original (resealable) plastic bottle.You can dispose of used fat
by letting it solidify in the fryer (without the basket in it) and subsequently scooping it out of the
fryer by means of a spatula and wrapping it in a newspaper. If applicable, you can put the bottle or
newspaper in the bin for non-compostable waste (not in the compostable waste bin) or dispose of
it in accordance with the regulations in your country.
Storage
1 Put all parts back onto/into the fryer and close the lid.
2 Wind up the cord, put it in the cord storage compartment and insert the plug into the plug
fixing facility (fig. 21).
3 Lift the fryer by its handles.

instructions for use.
Home-made French fries
You will make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way:
1 Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water.
This will prevent them from sticking to each other during frying.
Dry the sticks thoroughly.
B
2 Fry the French fries twice: the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160cC, the
second time for 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 175cC.
