tube has been placed in a receptacle.

4.Drain the oil into a suitable receptacle (fig. 5).

5.Use a sponge or a paper kitchen towel to remove any deposits from the bowl.

6.Replace the drainage tube in its compartment. Do not forget to replace the cap.

7.Place the filter supplied with the appliance in the bottom of the basket (fig. 6). Spare filters can be obtained from your dealer or from our service centers.

8.Pour the oil very slowly into the basket, ensuring that it does not overflow from the filter (fig. 7).

Note: After filtering the oil, it can be left in the fryer. However, should a long period of time pass between one frying and the next, it is advisable to store the oil in a closed container, not exposed to direct light in order to avoid its deterioration.

To drain the oil into the receptacle, remove the drainage tube and proceed as shown in fig. 8. Oil used for frying fish should be stored separately from oil used for other foods.

If fat is used for frying, this should not be allowed to cool too much, otherwise it may solidify.

CHANGING THE ANTI-ODOR FILTERS

With time the odor-eater filters placed inside the lid lose their effectiveness. A change of color in the filter, visi- ble through inspection opening (E) on the inside cover, shows that the filter needs to be changed. To replace it, remove plastic filter cover (fig.10) by pressing hook in the direction of arrow 1, then raise it in the direction of arrow 2. Replace the filters.

Note: The white filter must be inserted first with the black filter on top. The filter cover must be placed over the black filter (fig. 11).

CLEANING

Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the electrical socket.

Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it under the tap. By getting inside the water would cause short circuiting.

Do not immerse the lid in water without having first removed the filters.

To clean the deep fryer interior, proceed as follows:

•Check that the oil is sufficiently cold (wait about 2 hours), then empty out the oil or fat as previously descri- bed in the paragraph headed “filtering of oil or fat”.

•Remove any deposit from the bottom of the bowl using a sponge or a paper towel.

•Wash the tank with hot water and washing liquid, then rinse.

•We advise regular cleaning of the basket, with care being taken to eliminate any deposits.

•The basket (F) can be washed in a dishwasher.

•After frying, wipe the outside of the fryer with a soft damp cloth in order to remove any oil smears and condensation.

•Remove the lid by pushing it gently backwards (see arrow 1, fig. 9) and pulling upwards (see arrow 2, fig. 9).

•After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove any water left in the bottom of the container and, in particular, insi- de the oil drainage pipe. This avoids dangerous spurts of hot oil during use.

COOKING HINTS

HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS

When oil goes below minimum level mark, add new oil. It is advisable to remove the oil from time to time in order to preserve not only the quality of its flavor, but also the digestibility of the fried food. The number of times the oil can be used depends on the type of food you fry. For example, the oil must be changed more often if food coated in breadcrumbs is fried frequently. We advise that the oil be completely changed every
