Cleaning

Filtering the oil

•You may store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container.

•Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave it to cool, and throw it away with the household waste – according to the local community regulations.

•Crumbs that break away from food tend to burn and alter the quality of the oil more rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of catching fire. For this reason, filter the oil regularly.

We recommend changing the oil after a maximum of 8 to 12 uses.

Never immerse the control unit with the heating element in water and never wash it under running water.

Never wash the lid in the dishwasher.

Do not store your deep fryer outside.

Cleaning the fryer

•Remove the control unit and heating element and clean both parts with a damp cloth or sponge.

•Clean the lid using a sponge and soapy water. Rinse and dry carefully - fig.12.

•The filter in the lid can be cleaned. Remove the filter cover, then the filter.

•The bowl, the frying basket, the housing and the filter are dishwasher safe or can be immersed in soapy water.

•Ensure all components are dry before placing them back inside the fryer.

•The lid is fitted with a permanent metallic filter. This filter does not need to be replaced.

RESET function

•Your appliance is equipped with an overheating safety feature if you use your fryer without oil.

•If the safety cut-out is activated, the appliance will shut off automatically and the power-on light will turn off.

•In this case, unplug the appliance and let it cool.

•Then remove the control unit and press the safety cut-out RESET button with a toothpick or similar non-metallic object after the bowl has been filled with oil.

•If the problem with the safety cut-out persists, please contact our Helpline (see details on Page 7).
