Frying

After frying

When the food is ready:

remove the basket and shake it lightly to remove excess oil.

In order to drain the food, the frying basket can be suspended from the bracket support of the heating ele- ment hinge.

Turn the control knob back to ”0“.

The indicator lamp will go out.

Replace the lid after the oil or fat has cooled.

The frying basket has a handle which can be folded away when not in use:

Press the sides of the handle together and fold it into the basket. The handle can be removed when cleaning the frying basket.

Draining the oil

Frying oil can normally be used 6-10 times. Between each use, the oil should be poured through a strainer lined with a paper towel.

Oil containing impurities may ignite.

There is a drain valve at the base of the reservoir for draining the oil.

Before draining solid fat, turn the se- lector to the highest temperature to liquify the fat. Do not allow the fat to get too hot.

Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot oil or fat. Let hot oil cool be- fore draining.

Place a heat resistant container under the drain valve.

Open the valve by turning the lever 90° to the right.

To close the valve, turn the lever as far as possible to the left.
