OPERATION - Tips and directions

• Make sure that the food is thoroughly dry before you fry it. Moist products can cause severe splashing of the hot oil or liquid fat.

• Do not fry oven-ready chips.
• Do not fry potatoes that have been stored for too long, or are beginning to develop shoots.
• Do not put too much food in the frying basket at one time.
• You will need to coat some foods with batter or breadcrumbs before you fry them. You can prepare your own breadcrumbs by crumbling toast or rusk.
• Filter the oil or liquid fat at regular intervals to remove any eyebrows and particles of food.
  Take extreme care when filling and emptying the deep fryer, and when opening and closing the lid. The inside of the lid and the bowl are both very hot; the hot vapours and splashes of liquid fat or oil can also cause burns.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - General

Clean the appliance and the loose parts thoroughly after each use:
1. Switch off the deep fryer, turn the temperature dial back to '0' (counter-clockwise) and take the plug from the socket.
2. Take the lid off the deep fryer by sliding the vertical lid backwards (see figure 4).

1. Remove the frying basket from the deep fryer.
2. Take the filters out of the lid (see 'Replacing filters'), clean the lid and the frying basket in hot washing-up water or a dishwasher, and then dry thoroughly.
3. Pour the oil or liquid fat into a receptacle. Preference is given to handing in frying oil and liquid fat to your municipality; these can be reused for other purposes.
4. Remove the remaining oil using absorbent paper kitchen towel.
5. Thoroughly clean the inside of the bowl and the housing with hot water to which a little washing-up liquid has been added; do NOT use scourers. Then dry them thoroughly.
6. Reassemble the deep fryer.
7. Store the deep fryer.
8. Refill the deep fryer with oil or liquid fat only when you wish to use the appliance again

• Verify that the appliance is not connected to the power supply before you clean it.

Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.

• Never immerse the housing unit in water or another liquid and never place it under flowing water.
  The housing is not dishwasher-proof.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Replacing the oil or liquid fat

The quality of the oil or liquid fat deteriorates every time you use the deep fryer. For this reason you will need to replace the oil or liquid fat at regular intervals. Topping up the oil or liquid fat will not improve the quality. Use good quality oil or liquid fat.

• Never using solid fats (blocks) Only use oil or liquid fats specifically suitable for frying

Replace the oil or liquid fat when;

• it becomes darker in colour,
• it becomes thicker in consistency,
• small air bubbles are seen that take a long time to disappear; in new, fresh fat the air bubbles are large and they also disappear rapidly.
• the fried food has an unpleasant or strange taste or smell,
• the appliance emits more smoke than usual.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Replacing the filter

The disposable filter is intended to reduce the smell of frying when using the appliance. They become less effective over the course of time, and for this reason it has to be replaced at regular intervals.

1. Press the lip on top of the ventilation cover and remove the ventilation cover.
2. Remove the filter.
3. Fit new filter (with the black filter at the top).
4. Fit the ventilation cover.
