knob to the “OFF” position until you hear the click of the internal switch.
Allow the excess oil to drip off by leaving the basket in the deep fryer in the raised position.
Note: If the cooking needs to be done in two phases (e.g. potatoes) raise the basket at the end
of the first phase and wait for the signal lamp to switch off again. Then immerse the basket back
in the oil for a second time (see enclosed tables).
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying especially
when the food has been breaded or floured. 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, waiting about 2 hours.
Bring the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface (fig. 8).
To avoid the appliance
falling when filtering the oil, keep the lid in the appliance in the open position and be careful
that feet “M” are always inside the area of the work surface (fig. 8).
1. Pull frame “R” outwards (as in fig. 9)
2. Place oil container “Q” without the lid ”J” in the special compartment (fig.10).
3. Remove the basket.
4. Open door “Z” (as in fig.11).
5. Insert oil filter ”P” onto the container (fig.11)
Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it or turning it upside down
(fig. 12).
6. Extract drainage pipe “S”, remove plug “L” while at the same time squeezing the pipe
between two fingers to avoid the liquid coming out until it has been positioned above the
filter (see fig. 13).
7. Let the
liquid
flow into the container. If the oil is particularly “dirty”, be careful to ensure that
it does not overflow from the filter.
8. Reposition the pipe in its compartment after replacing the plug and close the door.
9. Lift out the container and replace lid (J) in order to ensure better preservation of the oil for
future use.
10. Reposition the frame “R” as at the beginning.
*
In the event of solid fat or lard being used, be careful not to let it cool down too much or
it will solidify.
REPLACING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTERS
With time the anti-odour filters placed inside the lid lose their effectiveness. A change of colour
in the filter, visible through hole “A” of fig.14 on the inside cover, shows that the filter needs to
be changed. To replace it, remove plastic filter cover “F” (fig.15) by pressing hook “H” in the
direction of arrow
1
, then raise it in the direction of arrow
2
. Replace the filters.
N.B:
The white filter must rest on the metal part (fig.16) and the coloured area must face
upwards (towards the black filter).
Reassemble the filter cover, being careful to insert the front hooks correctly (as shown in fig.16).
Do not run the appliance with exhausted filters as this could cause bad odours and obstruct
the steam.
