After using the fryer
Turn off the fryer and drain off the oil.
If you wish to store the oil, it should be
filtered to remove any impurities which
may impair the taste of the food and will
help the oil last longer.
,
Use extreme caution when
draining and disposing grease!
^
Allow the oil to cool but not solidify. If
it has solidified it can be melted by
heating the fryer to 212°F (100°C).
^
Place a heat-resistant container
beneath the drain valve. Be sure it is
large enough to hold all of the oil.

open
the drain valve by
turning it

Once all the oil has drained,
close
the drain valve by turning it
clockwise
b
as far as it will go (do
not over tighten).
^
Filter the oil by passing it though a
strainer lined with a paper filter. Store
the oil in a closed, heat-resistant
container.
Be sure the drain valve under the
appliance is always easily
accessible for draining.
Before draining, make sure that the
oil is not too hot, otherwise there is
the risk of burns. Be sure the
container used for draining is
heat-resistant.
Place the lid on the appliance only
after it has cooled.
Change the oil when it:
– is very dark and does not pour
easily.
– smells unpleasant or froths.
– begins to smoke at 340°F (170°C) or
less.
