Fagor F-110: 8. CLEANING

14

Chips

Follow the instructions given below for

flavoursome and crunchy chips:

•

Do not use very new potatoes (new

potatoes generally give poor results).

Cut the potatoes into sticks. 

•

Rinse the cut potatoes under the cold

tap.  This will stop them sticking together

when fried. 

•

Dry with a clean cloth or absorbent

kitchen paper. 

•

The chips should be fried in two stages:

- Stage 1: 160º C for 10-15 minutes.

- Stage 2: 190º C for 5-8 minutes.

•

If the chips are frozen, fry in accordance

with the instructions given on the packet. 

Frozen foods

•

Frozen foods significantly lower the

temperature of the oil when inserted into

the pan. Therefore, you should never fry

large quantities at the same time.

•

Let the appliance heat up once again to

the optimum frying temperature before

adding another portion of deep frozen

food. 

•

Adjust the thermostat control in

accordance with the instructions given on

the packet.  If no such instructions are

given, turn the control knob to the highest

temperature (190º C). 

•

These instructions should also be followed

in the case of some types of food which

require special treatment, such as

croquettes, for example. 

•

Deep frozen foods often contain an

excessive amount of ice, which should be

removed before frying.  

8. CLEANING

•

Before cleaning, unplug the fryer and

wait for it to cool. 

•

Remove the basket and disassemble the

handle. Clean the lid, the basket and

handle, the pan and the outer housing in

warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and

dry well.   

•

Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents

or metal scourers to clean the fryer.  

9. PRACTICAL ADVICE

Oils and fats

•

Always use oils/fats appropriate for

frying at a high temperature. In other

words, use oils that contain

polyunsaturated acids or vegetable

margarines. 

•

Replace the oil or fat regularly.  Never

add new oil to used oil. 

•

Do not leave the oil/fat at a high

temperature for any longer than

necessary. If you have to wait for a long

time between two frying operations, turn

the control knob to a low temperature,

otherwise you will have to change the

oil/fat more frequently. 

•

In general, the oil/fat will darken in colour

more quickly when frying protein-rich

food (meat or fish). 

•

If used for frying potatoes, the oil can be

reused between 10 and 12 times,

providing you remove all loose particles

after each frying operation.  Never,

under any circumstances, use the same

oil for more than 6 months.  After this

period, the oil should be thrown away. 

•

Always replace the oil if it starts to

bubble when heated, smells or tastes

rancid, has darkened or has lost its

fluidity. 

•

If you do not use the fryer often, we

recommend that you keep the oil or fat

in air-tight glass recipients, preferably in

the refrigerator.  It is not a good idea to

leave the oil in the fryer for long periods

of time.
