desired heat setting.

2. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, the green light will turn off (do not add

food until the selected temperature has been reached).

6. Using tongs, lower the battered foodstuffs slowly into the oil.

Warning - The oil may spit as food is added into it. Once ready, take the foodstuffs out using the frying basket. - The fryer has a safety thermostat that switches the fryer off in case of overheating. This may happen if there is not enough oil in the tank. - Do not overload the basket, as it may cause a drop in the temperature of the oil that may leave the food greasy or undercooked. - The fryer will always be ready to use if it is stored with cooled and filtered oil inside, and the lid in place. - When storing your fryer with oil inside, remove the handle and store it separately. - Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that food may start to turn golden brown before it has been completely cooked. - Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not use utensils that may melt. - Metal utensils become hot and should have insulated handles. - When using metal utensils, take care not to damage the heating element. - Your fryer has a maximum capacity for food of 800 g. This depends on food type (see the table above for more information). 03032_03033_CleanFry 3l_Black_im_yv_01210303.indd 4003032_03033_CleanFry 3l_Black_im_yv_01210303.indd 40 23/3/21 9:2323/3/21 9:23CLEANFRY 3L / 3L BLACK 41 ENGLISH - Do not fill more than half of the frying basket. - Avoid draining food too long in the basket, as it may become soft and loose its crispness. - Change the oil when it becomes brown or milky. - If there are water droplets on the base of the tank, the oil should be changed. - Change the oil in your appliance after approximately 15 uses. - All food items, particularly frozen food and potatoes, contain moisture. - When lowered into the hot oil, the water in the food turns to steam and escapes. - Take into account the food to be cooked before selecting the frying temperature. - As a general guide, pre-cooked food needs a higher cooking temperature than raw food.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Remove the lid (1), control panel (3), frying basket (4), filter (15) and tank (7). - Pour out the oil in the tank through fine muslin or absorbent paper placed over a funnel into a suitable container. - Wash the lid, basket, filter, and tank by hand with hot soapy water. - The tank is dishwasher safe. Take it out of the dishwasher as soon as possible and dry it thoroughly. - Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth and/or kitchen paper. - Do not immerse the control panel in water. - Make sure the wires connected to the heating element are not damaged while cleaning. - Dry all parts of your fryer thoroughly and place the tank, control panel, frying basket, and lid back in place.

The remainders from the foodstuffs will sink when the oil cools down. - If you use the filter, you will be able to remove the remainders, keeping the oil clean longer and minimising the appearance of undesired flavours. - Wait until the oil and the heating element are completely cold before proceeding as follows: - Unplug the fryer, remove the lid and the frying basket, and clean them separately. - Remove the heating element raising it carefully to prevent the oil from overflowing. - Separate the OilCleaner filter from the heating element. - Clean filter with hot water and soap and dry it. - Attach the OilCleaner filter to the heating element, sliding it in the opposite direction. - Put the heating element with the OilCleaner filter in the fryer.
