Do you have a question about the Livoo DOC217 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the LIVOO Double Deep Fryer 2 x 3 L, an appliance designed for household use, allowing users to deep-fry food with ease and efficiency. The fryer features two independent tanks, each with its own thermostat, providing flexibility to fry different foods simultaneously or to use only one tank when needed.
The LIVOO Double Deep Fryer is an electrical appliance specifically designed for deep-frying food using oil or liquid fat. It is equipped with two separate frying tanks, each having a capacity of 3 liters. This dual-tank design allows for greater versatility in cooking, as users can set different temperatures for each tank or fry different types of food without mixing flavors. The appliance operates by heating oil or liquid fat to a desired temperature, which is then maintained by a thermostat. Food is placed in baskets and slowly lowered into the hot oil for cooking. The fryer is intended for indoor household use and similar applications, such as staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments.
The deep fryer is designed for straightforward operation, ensuring a user-friendly experience. Before initial use, all packing materials should be removed, and accessories, along with the inner pans, should be washed in warm water and thoroughly dried, ensuring electrical parts remain dry.
To begin operation, users must remove the lids and fill each tank with the desired amount of oil. It is crucial to ensure the oil level is between the minimum and maximum indicators inside the appliance. Mixing different kinds of oil is not recommended for best results. Once filled, the appliance is plugged into an earthed socket, and a red indicator light will illuminate. Each tank has its own thermostat button, which users turn to select the desired cooking temperature. A green indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the heating process has begun. Users must wait until the selected temperature is reached, at which point the green light will turn off.
Food, preferably dry, is then placed into the baskets. It is important to fix the basket handles correctly by squeezing the metallic extremities and inserting them into the metal buckles inside the basket. The baskets should be filled to a maximum of two-thirds capacity. The baskets are then slowly lowered into the hot oil to prevent excessive bubbling. It is explicitly stated that baskets should never be filled while immersed in the oil. For foods containing starch, such as potatoes, the cooking temperature should not exceed 170°C. Wet food should be wiped dry before frying. Food that has been previously fried requires a higher cooking temperature than raw food.
During frying, the green indicator light will repeatedly turn on and off to maintain the selected oil temperature. To switch off the appliance, users must turn both thermostat buttons to the "OFF" position and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet.
A critical safety feature is the safety switch, which activates when the control element is correctly inserted into the mechanism guide. The appliance also includes an overheat protection button and a reset button. In case of a malfunction or if the deep fryer needs to be reset, users must switch off and unplug the appliance, allow it to cool completely, and then press the RESET button located on the back of the control element using a plastic or wooden object at least 4 cm long. This will restore the deep fryer to operational status.
Users are advised to use special oil for frying and avoid mixing different types of fats. When lifting the lids, caution is advised due to the potential for sudden evacuation of very hot steam, which can cause burns. Lids should be lifted carefully by their handles.
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and safe operation of the LIVOO Double Deep Fryer. Before any cleaning, the appliance must be disconnected from the power socket and allowed to cool down completely. A warning emphasizes that the heating element can remain hot for a significant period after disconnection. Crucially, the heating element and control panel should never be immersed in water or other liquids.
For external cleaning, the deep fryer's exterior should be wiped with a damp cloth and then dried with a soft, clean cloth. Abrasive objects or liquids should never be used for cleaning. The baskets and their handles can be cleaned in warm, soapy water and must be thoroughly dried before reuse.
When replacing the oil, the inside of the deep fryer can also be cleaned. After emptying the old oil, the interior should first be cleaned with a paper towel, followed by a cloth dipped in soapy water. Finally, it should be wiped with a damp cloth and allowed to dry thoroughly.
Oil replacement is a key maintenance task. Users must ensure the deep fryer and oil have completely cooled before replacing the oil and that the appliance is unplugged. Oil should be replaced regularly, specifically when it becomes dark or develops an unusual odor, typically after every 10 uses. It is recommended to replace all the oil at once rather than mixing old and new oil.
The appliance is designed for easy cleaning of surfaces that come into contact with food or oil, as detailed in the "cleaning" paragraph of the manual. Maintaining cleanliness is paramount, as the appliance directly contacts food. Surfaces of the appliance are liable to get hot during use, so users should avoid touching or cleaning it while it is still hot. The fryer should not be operated near water sources or flammable liquids. It is designed exclusively for oil or liquid fat and is not suitable for solid fat, which may contain water and cause hot fat to spray when heated. The deep fryer should never be switched on without oil or fat, as this can damage the machine. No other liquids or substances should be placed in the pan. Care must be taken not to damage the heating element during use or cleaning.
