Oil storage

•Remove any small pieces of food remaining in the oil with a non-metallic skimmer or with oil filtering papers.

•Keep the oil in the deep fryer or store it in an air- tight container away from heat and light sources. (recommended if you do not use the deep fryer often).

Filtering the oil

Using a filter paper (available online or from approved T-Fal Service Centers):

•Wait for the oil to cool.

•Empty the oil gently into a pan.

•Place a filter paper in the bottom of the basket.

•Wash the fryer bowl.

•Place the basket (with filter paper) into the deep fryer (handle in the upper position).

•Pour the oil carefully back into the bowl.

•Throw the filter paper away and clean the basket.

Oil may also be filtered by using an oil filtering container, ref. XA500003 maximum capacity: 2.5 l (available from approved T-Fal Service Centers).

Changing the oil/fat

•Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave it to cool and throw it away with household waste.

Replace the Anti-odor filter

(Anti-odor filters ref. XA500008 are available from approved T-Fal Service Centers).

•Open the lid (1). Remove the lid by pulling it upwards (2) (fig. 9).

•Place the underside of the lid towards you.

•Separate the odor/splash guard from the lid, using the clip (fig. 10).

•Remove the anti-odor filter by pushing from underneath the odor/splash guard.

•Fit the replacement anti-odor filter (fig. 11).

•Replace the odor/splash guard.

•Insert the hooks of the odor/splash guard into the notches in the lid (fig. 12).

•Press the odor/splash guard on each side of the locking clip until you hear a ‘click’ (fig. 13).

•To replace the lid:

Place the lid clamps into their slots (fig. 14).

It is not necessary to store oil in a refrigerator.

!The oil must be filtered regular- ly.

Remaining food debris tends to burn and alters the quality of the oil more rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of catching fire.

!Change the oil after being used for a maximum of 8 to 12 times. “Clean” oil keeps the flavor and lightness of foods.

!Change the anti-odor filter each time the deep fryer has been used a maximum of 10 to 15 times.

!Check that the odor/splash guard is locked in place before turning over the lid.
