WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

► Hot steam is generated during the frying process, especially

when the lid is open. Keep a safe distance away from the

steam.

► Ensure that all parts are completely dry before pouring oil

or liquid fat into the deep fat fryer. Otherwise, hot oil or fat

could splatter out.

► Carefully pat all foodstuﬀs dry before placing them in the

deep fat fryer. Otherwise, hot oil or fat could splatter out.

► Be especially careful with frozen foodstuﬀs. Remove all ice

particles. The more ice there is on the foodstuﬀ, the more the

hot oil or fat will splatter.

► Some parts of the appliance become very hot during opera-

tion. Touching these may cause serious burns.

► The appliance should be set up in a stable position with the

side grip recesses accessible to avoid spillage of hot liquids.

Low-acrylamide cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with

amino acids when frying foodstuﬀs with a high starch content. The formation of

acrylamide increases rapidly at temperatures of more than 175°C.

GB

│

9 ■

SKF 2800 B2

You should therefore avoid frying foodstuﬀs with a high starch content, for

example chips, at temperatures above 170°C. The foodstuﬀs should only be

fried to golden-yellow, instead of dark or brown. This is the only way to achieve

low-acrylamide cooking.

Deep frying

We recommend cooking oil or liquid cooking fat for use in this deep fat fryer.

You can also use solid cooking fats. Read the chapter “Solid Cooking Fats” for

more information.

Preparation

1) Place the appliance on a horizontal, level, stable and heat-resistant surface.

Solid cooking fats

To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming too hot, please

take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:

■ When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly, under low

heat, in a separate pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fat

fryer. When this has been done, insert the plug into a mains power socket

and switch the deep fat fryer on.

■ After use, store the deep fat fryer with the solidiﬁed fat at room temperatures.

If the fat gets too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting! To avoid this, poke

a few holes into the solidiﬁed fat with a wooden or plastic spatula. Ensure that

you do not damage the operating/heating element .

■ To melt the fat, switch on the appliance using the on/oﬀ switch  and set

the temperature control  to 130˚C. The integrated control lamp in the on/

oﬀ switch  will light up.

■ Wait until all of the fat has melted. The green control lamp  can come on

– Leave it for a moment to soak, and sway it back and forth.

– Then rinse the appliance lid oﬀ with clear water.

– Dry the appliance lid and then place it upright on its side so that any

excess water still inside the lid can drain away.

– Dry it again and make sure that there is no water remaining under the

rubber lip on the bottom of the lid. Lift the rubber lip, as required, to dry it.

Make sure that the lid is completely dry before re-use!

7) Dry all parts well before Assembly.

8) Reassemble the deep fat fryer in the reverse order.

Storage

1) Lift or carry the appliance using the side grip recesses on the housing.

Tips

Home-made chips

■ Potatoes intended for frying should be in good condition and not germinating.

■ Use potato varieties that are suitable for frying, such as “King Edward”,

“Maris Piper”, “Cara”, etc.

■ After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips

or slices).

■ Soak the potatoes for about one hour before frying. This will help remove

part of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the

formation of acrylamide.

■ 16

│

GB

SKF 2800 B2

■ Carefully dry the potatoes.

■

Always fry home-made potatoes twice:

– ﬁrst for 10 - 14 minutes at 150°C then for 3 - 4 minutes at 170°C,

depending on the desired degree of browning.

■ Deep-frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once.

Comply with the instructions on the packaging.

Frozen foods

Deep-frozen foodstuﬀs (-16 to -18°C) cool the oil or fat to a considerable extent,

because of this they do not cook fast enough and may also soak up too much oil

or fat. To avoid this, proceed as follows:

■ Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once. Do not ﬁll the frying basket 

to more than the maximum ﬁll level marked on the inside of the basket. After

lowering the frying basket , the food must be completely covered by the

oil/fat.

■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.

■ Adjust the temperature control  to the temperature speciﬁed in these

operating instructions or on the food’s packaging.

■ Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. Remove

as much ice and water as possible before adding the food into the deep fat

fryer.

WARNING – RISK OF BURNS!

Always close the appliance lid before lowering the frying basket  into

the hot oil or fat. There is a risk of burns from splashing fat!

■ Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat

fryer, as deep frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble violently and

abruptly.

How to hinder unwanted aftertastes

Some foodstuﬀs, especially ﬁsh, release ﬂuids when being fried. These ﬂuids

collect in the oil or fat and can inﬂuence the smell and taste of fried foods that

are later cooked in the same oil or fat.

Proceed as follows to obtain a neutral-tasting oil or fat:

■ Heat the fat or oil to 150°C and and place two thin slices of bread or a

couple of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket .

GB

│

17 ■

SKF 2800 B2

WARNING – RISK OF BURNS!

Always close the appliance lid before lowering the frying basket  with the

parsley or the bread into the hot oil or fat. Splashing fat can cause burns.

■ Lower the frying basket  into the fat and close the lid.

■ Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley

with a skimmer. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.

Healthy nutrition

Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing

unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic acid). However, these oils and fats lose their

positive characteristics faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged

more frequently.

Orient yourself on the following guidelines:

■ Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep fat fryer mainly to

prepare chips and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used 10

to 12 times.

■ However, do not use the oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow

the instructions given on the packaging.

■ As a general rule, oils and fats cannot be used so often if you mainly fry

foods with lots of proteins, such as meat or ﬁsh.

■ Do not mix fresh oil with old oil.

■ Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated, if it develops a strong taste

or odour, if it becomes dark and/or if it develops a syrupy consistency.
