Filtering the oil or fat
Before performing cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the
machine off, allow it to cool down and unplug from the mains socket.
This procedure should be carried out each time you have finished
frying, especially when the food has been coated in crumbs or
flour.The food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid,
thus causing much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat.
Check that the oil is cool enough (wait around two hours).
Move the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface (Fig. 5).
To prevent the appliance from falling while filtering the oil, make
sure that the feet always remain on the work surface (Fig. 5).
Oil drain tube
Proceed as follows:
1. Raise the lid of the fryer and remove the basket.
2. Open the panel (as shown in Fig. 6) and take out the oil drain
tube.
3. Remove the cap (as shown in Fig. 6) and at the same time hold
the tube between two fingers to prevent the liquid from being
released until the end of the tube has been placed in a contai-
ner.
4. Let the liquid flow out into a container (Fig. 7), ensuring that it
does not spill. Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it or tur-
ning it upside down (Fig. 8).
5. Remove any deposits from the bowl using a sponge or absor-
bent paper.
6. Put the tube back in the compartment, after replacing the cap,
and then close the panel.
7. Hook the basket to the rim of the bowl and place the filter
supplied in the bottom of the basket (Fig. 9).
8. Pour the oil or fat very slowly into the basket ensuring that it
does not overflow from the filter. After use throw the filter
away.
N.B:The filtered oil can be stored inside the deep fryer. If a long
period elapses between cooking, the oil should be stored in a
sealed container, to prevent it from deteriorating.
Ideally oil used to fry fish should be kept
separate.
If lard or fat is used, make sure it does
not cool down too much, otherwise it
will solidify.
It is advisable to check the drainage tube
frequently for wear and tear. If in doubt
contact your nearest serice centre.
