WARNING: THE FRYER MUST NOT
BE IMMERSED IN WATER
Cleaning
Filter Lid
Your Kenwood fryer is fitted with a permanent filter system
comprising of deflectors which collect drops of oil from the
steam as it passes through. After several cooking sessions
the filter lid should be removed from the fryer (refer to
paragraph below), plunged into hot sudsy water and left to
soak for 5-10 minutes. It should then be rinsed thoroughly
and dried.
To Remove the Lid
To remove lid, lift to a vertical position and remove with a
straight pull upwards. Reverse the above sequence to
replace.
Cleaning Fryer
As with any cooking vessel your fryer should be cleaned after
every use.
After the oil has cooled remove the lid and pour out the oil.
The fryer is equipped with a safety pouring lip which should
be used when emptying the oil. The oil should be filtered
through fine muslin or absorbent paper placed in a suitable
funnel. Excessively discoloured oil should be discarded. After
draining the oil, the bowl should be wiped out with absorbent
paper then with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid,
and finally with a dry cloth. Stubborn deposits can be
removed by using a little non-abrasive cleaner on a non-
scratch pad
The strained oil may be stored either in the fryer or in an
airtight container in a dark cupboard. We recommend that you
discard the oil after about 10 uses.
The outside and lid should be wiped with a damp cloth an
dried thoroughly. In order to keep your frying basket in good
working order, we recommend that it is thoroughly cleaned in
hot sudsy water after every use.
CAUTION
The interior of the fryer bowl is coated with a non stick
coating. To avoid damage no abrasives or sharp instruments
should be used.
The frying times given in this chart are a guide only and should be adjusted to suit the different quantities of thickness of food
and to suit your own taste.
