After frying
26
- After frying, hook the frying basket in the high
position (i.e. "drain position") (fig. 26).
Allow the fried food to drain for a while.
If required you can shake the basket over the
fryer to remove excess fat/oil (fig. 27).
28
- Remove the basket from the fryer and put the
fried food in a colander with fat absorbing paper
(e.g. tissue paper/kitchen roll) (fig. 28).
- After use, set the temperature knob to the
lowest position (turn fully anti-clockwise), switch
the fryer off (fig. 29) and remove the mains plug
from the wall socket.
- Clean the fryer after the oil or fat has cooled
down sufficiently.
30
- You can press the two knobs and tilt the hand
grip backwards to store it inside the frying
basket (fig. 30).
- You can push the mains cord into the appliance
(fig. 31).
- Store the fryer with the lid on top. This will keep
dust etc. from the pan.

"Cool Zone"
Loose food particles do not get burnt in this fryer,
so that the oil/fat will remain longer in good
condition. The loose particles will gather in the
"cool zone" below the heating element.
After the appliance has cooled down, you can
remove the control unit with heating element and
mains cord, lift the frying pan out of the appliance
and pour the oil/fat through a fine sieve.
Tables
In the tables is indicated what types of food can
be prepared in one cooking cycle with the fryer
and what temperature and preparation times
should be chosen.
The table also indicates the maximum quantity per
preparation for optimum results.
If you find different instructions (for the same
quantities!) on the packaging of the food, follow
these.
Please note which of the two tables applies to
your appliance.
Fresh French fries
To obtain the nicest and most crispy fresh French
fries:
• Use not too new potatoes.
• Cut the potatoes first to thick slices and then to
sticks. Rinse the sticks in a colander under the
cold water tap: this will prevent the fries from
adhering to one another while frying. Dry the
fries using e.g. kitchen towel.
• Fresh French fries must be prepared in two
steps:
- firstly at 160 °C (320 °F), for 4-6 minutes.
- secondly at 190 °C (374 °F), for 2-4 minutes.
During the second step shake the frying basket
at small intervals; then the French fries will get
a fine overall browning.
Deep frozen food
Food from your deep freezer or from the freezer
compartment of your fridge (-16 to -18 °C or -1 to
3 °F) will cool down the oil/fat vastly when lowered
into it, so that too much oil/fat may be absorbed.
• For that reason, do not put too big portions into
the fryer.
• Let the fryer regain optimum frying temperature
before you prepare a portion of deep frozen
food (approx. 15 minutes).
