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 are left in the liquid, which causes much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat. Check that the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2 hours).

Models with drainage tube

Bring the front part of the fryer to the edge of the work surface, taking care that the feet never protrude over the edge (fig. 7).

1.Open the lid of the fryer and remove the basket (fig. 3).

2.Open the inspection door as shown in (fig. 8).

3.Extract the drainage tube.

4.Remove the plug while at the same time squeezing the tube with two fingers to prevent the oil or fat from leaking out before the tube has been placed into a container (fig. 9).

5.Allow the oil or fat to drip into a container (fig. 10). WARNING: Never empty the fryer by tilting it or turning it upside down.

6.Remove any deposits from the tank using a sponge or absorbent paper.

7.At the end of the procedure fit the plug back onto the drainage tube and reposition it in its compartment.

8.Put the basket back in the high position and place one of the filters (optional) at the bottom of the basket (fig. 11).You can obtain the filters from your retailer or one of our Customer Experience Team. See enclosed guarantee leaflet.

9.Next pour the oil or fat very slowly into the deep fryer so that it does not spill out of the filter (fig. 12).

10.The oil which has been filtered in this way can be preserved inside the fryer. However, if a long time elapses before it is next used, it is advisable to preserve the oil in a closed container in order to stop it deteriorating. It is good practice to keep oil

used for frying fish separate from that used for frying other food. If fat is used, be careful not to let it cool down too much or it will solidify.

Maintenance of the anti-odour filter

Removable filter: Over time, the anti-odour filter inside the lid loses its efficiency.You are therefore recommended to replace it after every 10/15 frying sessions. To replace, remove the plastic filter grille (fig 13-14).

Cleaning

Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the electrical socket. Never immerse the fryer in water or hold it under the tap as this could cause a short circuit within the appliance. Check that the oil
