Morphy Richards Compact Fryer Hints and tips, Cleaning, Replaceable charcoal filter, Part number

Hints and tips

•Always ensure that you use a good quality lard, solid oil or oil for deep frying. Corn, groundnut, vegetable or rapeseed oil are ideal. Do not use margarine or olive oil.

•Take into account the food to be cooked before you select your frying temperature. As a general guide precooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods.

•Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not use utensils which may melt. Metal utensils become hot and should, therefore have insulated handles. When using metal utensils TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE SPECIAL NON-STICK COATING IN THE TANK.

•Do not use your fryer under wall mounted cupboards which could prevent you opening the lid fully, or allow steam to be deflected into your face.

•Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that your food may begin to turn golden brown before it is cooked through.

•Your fryer will always be ready for use if you store cooled and filtered oil inside, with the lid closed.

•All foodstuffs, particularly frozen food and potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered into the hot oil or fat the water in the food turns into steam. Most of the steam which is trapped escapes when you open the lid of your fryer- SO CARE IS NEEDED.

•Do not lean over the fryer when pressing the lid release button as the lid mechanism causes the lid to spring open.

•Old potatoes are ideal for making chips. Your chips should be evenly sized (10mm square) so that they cook evenly and should be rinsed and dried before they are fried.

Cleaning

CLEANING SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE FRYER IS SWITCHED OFF AND THE PLUG IS REMOVED FROM THE SOCKET. YOUR FRYER SHOULD HAVE COMPLETELY COOLED.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE CHARCOAL FILTER BEFORE CLEANING THE LID.

Replaceable charcoal filter

Your fryer is fitted with a white anti-grease filter which collects grease from passing steam and a black charcoal filter to reduce odours. The filters can be used approximately 12 times before replacement, depending upon quantity of food fried each time.

Replace the filters as follows,

1Remove the plug from the mains socket.

2Unclip and lift out the filter panel from the top of the fryer and remove both the black and white filters and dispose of them.

3Insert the new filters, white down, black up, into the filter recess.

4Replace the filter panel into the lid, then onto the top of the fryer.

Contact the customer helpline using the helpline number on the front of this booklet for replacement filters.
