Need help?Do you have a question about the Krups EASY PRO KJ332 and is the answer not in the manual?
The KRUPS Easy Pro deep fryer is designed for convenient and efficient home frying, offering a range of features for ease of use, safety, and maintenance. Its design allows for complete dismantling, making cleaning and storage straightforward.
The primary function of the KRUPS Easy Pro is deep frying various foods, from French fries and chicken nuggets to fish sticks and mushrooms. It operates by heating oil to a desired temperature, allowing for quick and even cooking. The appliance includes a removable control panel with a power indicator light and an adjustable thermostat, enabling precise temperature control for different recipes. A key feature is the "Easy Pro" design, which emphasizes user-friendliness and simplified maintenance. The fryer is equipped with a permanent metallic filter, eliminating the need for regular filter changes. For added versatility, it comes with a snack accessory, designed for frying delicate items or cooking food on two levels, preventing ingredients from sticking together.
Before first use, the fryer requires a simple assembly and cleaning process. Users should remove the lid, basket, and handle, ensuring the basket handle is correctly inserted. The control unit and heating element, along with the bowl, should also be removed for initial cleaning. All components, except the control unit and heating element, can be washed with a sponge and soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. Thorough drying of all parts is crucial before reassembly. The control unit must be correctly positioned for the fryer to function, indicated by an audible "click."
To operate, the bowl is filled with oil up to the MAX level, ensuring it never exceeds this mark or falls below the MIN level. The manual provides guidelines for oil quantities, recommending vegetable, corn, or canola oil for best results. It advises against mixing different types of oil or fat to prevent overflow and emphasizes drying food thoroughly, especially frozen items, before immersion to prevent oil overflow and extend oil life.
The preheating process involves plugging in the fryer, placing the lid on, and turning the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. The power indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the fryer is heating. Once the power indicator light turns off, indicating the oil has reached the set temperature, the lid can be removed, and ingredients can be slowly lowered into the basket. Slow immersion (approximately 30 seconds) is recommended to prevent oil overflow. For optimal results with freshly made fries, a double-fry method is suggested, respecting recommended cooking temperatures.
The snack accessory enhances the fryer's utility, allowing users to cook delicate foods like fish sticks or breaded items on two levels. A first layer of ingredients is placed in the main basket, followed by the snack accessory with additional ingredients, before lowering into the oil. This method helps prevent sticking.
At the end of cooking, the basket can be hooked onto the support on the inner bowl to drain excess oil for about 30 seconds before serving. For subsequent use, the oil level should be checked and adjusted if necessary, and the fryer allowed to preheat again until the ready light illuminates. To switch off the fryer, the thermostat is turned to the lowest setting, and the appliance is unplugged. The oil should be allowed to cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before moving the fryer using its carrying handles.
The KRUPS Easy Pro is designed for easy cleaning. After each use, the fryer should be unplugged and allowed to cool completely for about 2 hours before cleaning. The bowl and frying basket are dishwasher safe or can be washed in soapy water. The lid, housing, control unit, and heating element should be cleaned with a damp cloth. It is critical to ensure all components are thoroughly dry before reassembly and storage. The control unit should never be immersed in water or washed under running water, nor should the lid, housing, or control unit be placed in the dishwasher.
Oil filtering is an important maintenance step. After the oil has cooled, it can be filtered. The manual recommends changing the oil/fat after a maximum of 8 to 10 uses, or every 5 uses if sunflower oil is used. Clapping sounds during heating indicate water in the oil, necessitating a change of oil. Used oil can be stored in the fryer or a separate airtight container but should never be poured into the sink; it should be disposed of according to local regulations. For solid shortening, separate storage from the fryer is advised. Regular filtering of oil is recommended to remove crumbs, which can burn, alter oil quality, and increase fire risk.
The fryer includes an overheating security feature located at the back of the control unit. If the fryer is operated without oil, this safety cut-off automatically activates, shutting down the appliance. In such cases, the fryer should be unplugged, allowed to cool, and then, after filling the bowl with oil, the safety cut-off RESET button (located on the back of the control unit) should be pressed with a toothpick or similar non-metallic object. If the issue persists, users are advised to contact customer support.
