FRYING FROZEN FOOD 1. Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevitably lower the temperature of the oil. For good results each time you fry, we recommend you don't exceed the maximum quantities set out in the following table. 2. Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals, which should be removed before frying. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil in order to ensure that the oil does not boil over. Before lowering the basket into the oil, ensure that the lid is securely closed. 3. To obtain best results, do not exceed recommended max. quantity of food. The cooking time shown in this table are approximate, and may vary according to the initial temperature of the food and to the cooking temperature recommended on the packet. Type of food Max. quantity Temperature (°C) (°F) Time (minutes) Pre-cooked frozen potatoes Potato zucchini 0.7 lb / 300 gr (*) 190 1.1 lb / 500 gr 190 370 phase 1 5 - 6 phase 2 2 - 3 370 7 - 8 Fish Fish-fingers 0.7 lb / 300 gr 190 370 6 - 7 Prawns 0.7 lb / 300 gr 190 370 6 - 7 Meat Chicken cutlets (2) 0.4 lb / 200 gr 190 370 7 - 8 (*) This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quantity of frozen potatoes can be fried, taking into consideration that they will be a little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the temperature of the oil, upon immersion. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Solution Unpleasant odors Anti-odor filter saturated. The oil or fat has deteriorated. The oil or fat is not suitable. Change the filter. Change the oil (or fat). Use a good-quality canola oil. The oil overflows The basket has been lowered too quickly into the oil. Lower the basket slowly. Too much oil in the fryer. Reduce quantity of oil in the fryer. Food not dried sufficiently before immersing in the oil. Dry the food thoroughly. Recommended max. quantity exceeded. 2.2 lb / 1 kg (fresh potatoes). Oil does not heat Fryer has been previously switched on without oil in pot causing the thermal cut-out failure. The magnetic convector is not correctly inserted. Contact Service Center (fuse change necessary). Insert the connector with the jut (X) on the top side. Contact the Service Center. 9
