Preparation

1. Before using the appliance, prepare it as described in the chapter “Before first use”.

2. Place the fry basket carefully in the insert until the basket locks into position.

3. Now put the food in the fry basket. Do not fill the basket past the MAX mark. This will ensure optimal frying results.

4. Push the insert with the fry basket into the opening in the appliance.

Deep frying

5. Select the desired temperature with the temperature control. If you wish to prepare more than one food at a time, first check the required temperature and cooking time for the different foods.

6. Now set the desired cooking time – max. 60 minutes – with the timer.

7. If the appliance is cold, you must add about 5 minutes to the cooking time to allow the appliance to heat up. Tip: You can also heat the appliance for 5 minutes without food and then add the ingredients to the fry basket. Continue as described here.

8. The function indicator lamp alternates between on and off during the cooking time. This means that the required temperature is maintained.

9. To achieve better results, it may be necessary to shake the ingredients in the fry basket halfway through the cooking time, depending on the food. In this case, use the handle to pull the insert out of the appliance and shake the ingredients carefully. Depending on the quantity of ingredients in the basket, this may need to be repeated several times. Take care not to push the release button on the handle.

10. Then put the insert with the fry basket back in the appliance. Notice: The appliance shuts off when the fry basket is removed. As soon as the fry basket is returned to the appliance, frying continues.

11. When the timer setting expires, an acoustic signal sounds and the appliance switches off.

Removal of food

12. Remove the insert and check whether the food has been fried to the desired degree. If not, you can continue frying by returning the food to the appliance and setting the timer for a few more minutes.

13. Notice: Never turn the fry basket completely upside down. Excess fat from the food collects beneath the insert in the fry basket.

14. Therefore, use tongs to remove the food from the fry basket.

15. Food such as chips can be removed by allowing it to glide carefully from the fry basket into a bowl. Again, watch out for excess fat.

16. If you wish to deep fry other foods, you can start frying again right away.

Removal of the fry basket

17. Press the release button. Pull the fry basket upward out of the insert.

Switching off the appliance

When you are finished frying food, switch the timer to “0” and unplug the appliance from the power socket.

Notice: During and after use, the deep fryer and the basket are very hot – danger of burns! Touch only the handle of the fry basket.

After use and before cleaning, set the timer to “0” and unplug the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool. Removing the fry basket will speed up cooling (faster if the frying basket and the frying insert are removed). Pour out any grease that collected in the fry basket.

1. Wipe the inside and the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid. If necessary, use a grease cleaner and then wipe the surfaces clean, using a damp cloth and clean water. Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners. Ensure that there is no water ingress. After cleaning, carefully dry the appliance.

2. If necessary, pour any fat out of the deep-frying basket.

3. The fry basket and insert can be cleaned in warm water with mild washing-up liquid added. To remove stubborn residue, put some warm washing-up liquid in the fry insert and allow to soak about 10 minutes. Rinse with water and then clean as described above.

4. The fry basket can also be cleaned in the dishwasher (top basket).

5. Always dry the accessories thoroughly before putting them away. Then return the fry basket and insert to the appliance.

6. Regular and proper cleaning prolongs the service life of your appliance.

7. When not in use, store the appliance in a dry place and protected against dust.

The cooking times for the UNOLD XL 5L 58655 depend on the size, thickness and quality of the foods and possibly also on the material of the baking tin. Starchy foods that have not been pre-baked, such as chips, should be brushed or sprayed with a thin coat of oil. This likewise applies to vegetables. Bread or cake tins should not fill the entire basket, to allow air to circulate.

Before turning out cake or bread, check it with the “skewer test”: Simply insert a wooden skewer into the cake or bread and pull it back out. If nothing sticks to the skewer, the bread or cake is done. Half-baked rolls or frozen rolls should be sprayed with water before baking. This will give them a shiny crust as if fresh from the baker. When cooking sausages, make sure they are not in contact with each other in the fry basket. Brush the sausages with cream to make them brown especially well. All of our cooking times are approximate and can be adjusted to suit your personal taste. The same applies to the cooking temperatures.
