After frying

Beware of hot steam and possible spattering of the oil.

1 Take the lid off the fryer.

2 Carefully remove the basket from the fryer (Fig. 14).

To remove excess oil or fat, shake the basket over the fryer or put the basket in the draining

position by placing it in the bracket on the inside of the inner bowl.

3 Put the fried food in a bowl or colander lined with grease-absorbing paper, e.g. kitchen paper.

4 If you want to fry another batch, wait until the temperature light comes on and goes out

again.

5 If you want to stop frying, set the on/off switch to ‘O’ to switch off the fryer (Fig. 15).

, The power-on light is out.

6 Put the basket in the fryer.

7 Close the lid.

8 Unplug the appliance after use.

Note: If you do not use the fryer regularly, we advise you to remove the oil or liquid fat. Store the oil or

liquid fat in well-closed containers, preferably in the refrigerator or in a cool place.

Frying tips

- For an overview of preparation times and frying temperatures, see the food table at the end of

this booklet.

- 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 avours

Certain types of food, particularly sh, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant avour. To neutralise the

taste of the oil or fat:

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

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

3 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:

1 Use rm 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.

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

the second time for 3-4 minutes at a temperature of 175°C.

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

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