Electric Deep Fryer 

F26

without lifting the lid. 
If you decide the food is sufficiently cooked, turn the appliance off by
placing the thermostat slider "L" in position "0" until you hear the
internal switch click.
Drain excess oil by leaving the basket in the raised position inside
the deep fryer (fig. 2).

FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT

You are recommended to filter the oil or fat after each frying ses-
sion as, particularly if coated in breadcrumbs or flour,  the particles
of food remaining in the liquid tend to burn, causing the oil or fat to
alter more rapidly.  

Make sure the oil is sufficiently cool (wait about two
hours). If you are using fat, make sure it does not cool
down excessively or it will solidify.

1.  Open the fryer lid, remove the control panel "I" as shown in fig-

ure 3  then take out the removable bowl "D", holding it by the
handles (Fig. 4), Remove the lid as shown in Fig. 5.  Empty the
bowl (Fig. 6).

2.  Remove residues from the bowl using a sponge or absorbent

paper. 

3.  Replace the removable bowl "D", making sure the pointer on the

bowl lines up with the pointer on the appliance. 

4.  Replace the control panel "I" in its housing. 
5.  Put the basket back in the raised position and place the filter

provided in the bottom of the basket (Fig. 7). Filters are available
from your local dealer or one of our service centres.

6.  Then pour the oil or fat back into the deep fryer very slowly to

avoid it overflowing from the filter (Fig. 7).

IMPORTANT: 

The filtered oil can be kept inside the deep fryer.

However, if you will not be frying again for some time, you should
keep the oil in the dark in a closed container to avoid it deteriorat-
ing. It is good practice to separate oil used for frying fish and oil used
for frying other food.

REPLACING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTER

With time, the anti-odour filter inside the lid loses its efficiency. 
To replace, remove the plastic filter cover "S" by pressing the clip "T"
in the direction of arrow 1, then lifting in the direction of arrow 2
(fig. 8 ). 
Replace the filters.
