Fill the frying basket (6) with food (ill. k). Do not overfill the frying basket (6) (ill. k).
Warnings:
Do not fry food without the frying basket (6) (ill. l).
➢
Do not fill the frying basket (6) over halfway. Too much food can cause excess

foaming and could cause the oil to overflow during operation.
Food added to the appliance must be dry. If frying frozen foods such as chips or
➢
chicken wings, remove all ice particles from the frozen foods prior to frying to prevent
oil from overflowing.
Always remove excess moisture from food with a paper towel before frying. Even a
➢
small amount of water can cause severe splattering of hot oil.
After immersing the frying basket (6) in the oil, immediately place the lid (3) on the
➢
appliance. Danger of hot oil splashing out.

NOTES:
When frying freshly cut potatoes and high-moisture foodstuffs, lower the frying basket
➢
slowly into the oil. If the oil boils or foams too rapidly, raise the frying basket for a few
seconds and lower again. Do this until the frying basket can be lowered without
excess foaming.
Do not place the lid (3) on the appliance when frying freshly cut potatoes or other
➢
high-moisture foodstuffs.
For frying times, see 'Recommended frying times and temperatures' or follow the
➢
