make sure that the food is quite dry.
Take special care to defrost deep-
frozen food thoroughly before frying.
Moisture reduces the life-span of frying
oil.
5.
For good results, the right temperature
setting is a decisive factor when deep-
frying food. If the oil is not sufficiently
hot, the food may take in too much oil.
It is therefore best to insert the food
basket only once the pre-heating period
is complete. If the oil is too hot, on the
other hand, an outer crust will be built
up while the inner part of the food
remains uncooked
6.
Deep-frozen or chilled food should be
briefly inserted into the hot oil once or
twice before the actual cooking process
begins.
7.
Do not fry too much food at once.
Each item should be able to float freely
without touching another.
8.
When cooking battered food, make
sure that the batter is firmly attached to
the food and excess flour is removed.
9.
Over-used frying oil is easily
recognisable as it is of a darker colour
and more viscous, giving off an
unpleasant smell or tending to foam.
10. Over-used frying oil or oil containing a
residue of particles from earlier use is
more inflammable and tends to ignite
easily. It is therefore best to change the
oil after 3 or 4 cycles of use. However,
its life-span depends mainly on the kind
and quantity of food fried.
11. The life span can be extended if the oil
is filtered after each cycle of use.
12. The oil may be stored inside the deep
fryer if the unit is kept closed and put in
a cool place.
General care and cleaning
●
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
- To remove the fat from the container,
wait until it has cooled down sufficiently
but is still liquid. Then pour it into a
suitable heat-resistant container. The fat
can be filtered by pouring it through
absorbent paper placed into a heat-
resistant funnel or in the frying basket
itself.
●
Do not pour frying fat down the kitchen
sink. Once cold, it may be disposed of
together with your household refuse.
The inside of the frying container can be
cleaned by wiping it first with household
tissue paper and then with a damp, lint-
free cloth, using a mild household
detergent.
- The lid contains a fat filter which must be
replaced after several frying cycles.
Release the filter cover and take out the
old filter. Replacement filters can be
ordered through Severin Service Centre.
Insert a new fat filter and replace the
filter cover.
- The frying basket and its handle, the fork
rack and forks should be cleaned after
use with hot soapy water.
- The exterior of the housing may be
cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
Disposal
Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage;
this should only be done through
public collection points.
