DeLonghi D895UX manual After Frying, Filtering the OIL or FAT, Replacing the ODOUR-EATER Filter

AFTER FRYING

When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if the food has reached the required golden colour. In the models fitted with a viewing window this check can be carried out by looking through the win- dow without opening the lid.

If you consider the cooking to be finished, switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to the

OFF position until you hear the click of the internal switch.

Allow the excess oil to drip off by leaving the basket in the deep fryer in the high position.

P.S. If the cooking needs to be done in two phases (e.g. potatoes) raise the basket at the end of the first phase and wait for the signal lamp to go off again. Then immerse the basket back in the oil for a second time (see enclosed tables).

FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT

We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying as, especially when the food has been breaded or floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat.

Check that the oil is cool enough, waiting about 2 hours.

Bring the front part of the deep fryer to the edge of the work surface, being careful that feet “M” are always inside the area of the work surface (fig. 6).

1.Pull tray “R” outwards (as in fig.7)

2.Place oil container “Q” without the “J” lid in the spe- cial compartment (fig.8).

3.Remove the basket.

4.Open inspection door “Z” (as in fig.9).

5.Insert oil filter ”P” onto the container (fig.9)

6.Extract drainage pipe “S”, remove plug “L” while at the same time squeezing the pipe between two fin- gers to avoid the liquid coming out until it has been positioned above the filter (see fig. 10).

7.Flow the oil into the oil container “Q”. Pinch the oil drainage pipe “S” between two fingers to regulate the flow and avoid the oil leaking out of the open- ings “Y” (fig. 17). These openings are provided to prevent the oil overflowing from the filter tray if it drains too fast or the filter is clogged. In this case, filtering will not be optimum. If the oil is particular- ly “dirty”, be careful to ensure that it does not over- flow from the filter.

8.Reposition the pipe in its compartment after replac- ing the plug and close the inspection door.

9.Put down the container, stopping it with lid “J” in

order to ensure better preservation of the oil for future use.

10. Reposition the tray as at the beginning.

*In the event of fat being used, be careful not to let it cool down too much or it will solidify.

REPLACING THE ODOUR-EATER FILTER

With time the odour-eater filters placed inside the lid lose their effectiveness. A change of colour in the filter, visible through hole “A” of fig.11 on the inside cover, shows that the filter needs to be changed. To replace it, remove plastic filter cover “F” (fig.12) by pressing latch “H” in the direction of arrow 1, then raise it in the direc- tion of arrow 2. Replace the filters.

P.S. The white filter must rest on the metal part (fig.13) and the coloured area must face upwards (or towards the black filter).

Reassemble the filter cover, being careful to insert the front latchs correctly (as shown in fig.13).

Do not run the appliance with exhausted filters as this could obstruct the steam causing bad odours.

CLEANING

Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the elec- trical socket.

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

After having appropriately allowed the oil to cool for about 2 hours, empty out the oil or fat as previously described in the paragraph headed “filtering the oil or fat”.

Remove the lid as shown in fig. 11.

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

To clean the bowl, proceed as follows:

•Wash the tank with hot water and washing up liq- uid. Always use the oil drainage pipe to empty out

the water as shown in fig. 15. Then rinse and dry carefully; remove any remaining water which has collected in the oil drainage pipe.

*Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it or turning it upside down (fig.16)

•In order to clean the inside of the drainage pipe, use the pipe brush supplied (fig. 14).

•We advise regular cleaning of the basket, with care being taken to eliminate any deposits which might have accumulated in the basket’s wheel guide ring.

•Dry the outside of the deep fryer with a soft, damp cloth in order to get rid of splashes and any little dribbles of oil or condensation.

•Clean and dry the washer as well in order to avoid it sticking to the bowl when the boiler is not in use. (To open the lid in the event of sticking, you only need to raise the lid by hand while at the same time keeping
