Viewing window
To avoid weeping of the viewing window (9), lubricate the
inner surface with vegetable oil.
Temperature control knob
The temperature control knob (3) provides maintenance
of oil temperature in the bowl (5), the temperature range
from 130 to 190°С gives wide possibilities for cooking of
different products.
Operation indicator
The red color of the indicator (2) shows that the unit is
operating in the heating mode. When the indicator goes
out, this means that the oil temperature in the bowl set
with the control knob (3) is reached.
COOKING
•
Set the deep fryer on a dry, stable heat-resistant sur-
face.
•
Insert the bowl for oil (5) into the deep fryer body.
Attention: Usage of the unit without the bowl for oil is
strictly forbidden.
•
Fill the bowl (5) with about 1,6 liters of oil of good qual-
ity in such way that the oil level is between the minimal
and maximal marks on the inner surface of the bowl
(5) and close the lid (8) (pic. 2, 3).
Note:
•
It is recommended to use only high-quality
refined vegetable oils (sunflower seed or corn
oil) and not to use margarine or butter, as they do
not endure high temperature.
•
You can use a mixture of animal and vegetable
fats for frying, according to the recommended
recipes.
•
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
•
Switch the unit on by pressing the button (1), the heat-
ing indicator (2) will light up.
•
Set the heating temperature by turning the tempera-
ture control knob (3) to the necessary digital indica-
tion (see «Cooking recommendations» section).
•
When the oil heats up to the set temperature, the indi-
cator (2) will go out.
•
Put the necessary quantity of products into the basket
(7) (products should be dry).
•
Open the lid of the deep fryer (8). Carefully put the
basket into the bowl; avoid splashing. The curves of
the handle (6) should tightly embrace the edge of the
bowl (5), and the projection on the deep fryer body
should be between the two guides of the handle (6).
Close the lid.
•
After you finish frying, open the removable lid (8) and
set the basket in a suitable position to let the excess oil
or fat drip off. For this purpose there is a correspond-
ing support on the side surface of the basket under
the removable handle (pic. 4).
•
Switch the unit off with the button (1) and unplug the
unit.
Note:
•
Before repeated frying, wait until vegetable oil or
fat reaches the required temperature level each
time you put a new portion of food into the unit.
TIPS
Oil
Use vegetable oil of high quality, refined oil is preferred.
•
Pour oil into the bowl (5) before switching the unit on.
•
Filter oil after each usage.
•
Perform filtration of oil in the following way: after
cooking unplug the unit and let the oil cool down com-
pletely; put filter paper or a thin cotton cloth into a
metal sieve or a strainer and filter the oil.
•
Do not mix up different types of oil.
•
At long intervals between cooking of product portions,
switch the deep fryer off by pressing the button (1).
•
It is better to fry products with high content of water
(for instance, potatoes) in small intervals; take the
basket out and shake the content of the basket peri-
odically.
•
After frying of a food portion, remove the remaining
products from the oil immediately, this way you can
prolong the oil life.
•
Regularly change oil (approximately after 8-12 uses).
•
Oil should be changed if it starts bubbling while heat-
ing, if it has unpleasant taste or odor, as well as if it
darkened or became dense.
•
If you use the deep fryer seldom, store oil or fat in
closed plastic or glass containers in a cool place (pref-
erably in a fridge).
•
Do not store oil in the deep fryer.
Cooking recommendations
•
Use high quality refined vegetable oil (for instance,
sunflower seed or corn oil).
•
When frying several types of products, put products
requiring lower processing temperature first.
•
Before frying a new food portion, wait for 3-5 minutes
till the oil heats up to the required temperature. When
