thoroughly with paper kitchen towel.
When preparing frozen foods, before
cooking, remove any ice crystals on the
food by shaking the basket of food to
be fried over the sink.
3. Cooking
Do not overfill the basket, or you will
cause the temperature of the hot oil to
drop too much, and this will make the
food greasy and soggy.
The capacity of your fryer is limited to:
- 1 kg of fresh chips
- 750 g of frozen chips
For best results, we advise that you use:
- 550 g of fresh chips
- 400 g of frozen chips
Do not leave your fryer heating
unnecessarily: your oil will last longer.
Do not leave your cooked foods in the
basket in the draining position for too
long, as the steam may soften them and
make them soggy.

Cleaning
Unplug your appliance and allow it to
cool down.
Clean the exterior of the fryer with a
damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive pad
or any abrasive or alcohol based
cleaning products.
Never immerse the appliance in water
and never wash it under running water.
Wash the basket and the lid in the
dishwasher or in hot water with washing
up liquid, rinse and dry.
When you change the oil, take the
opportunity to clean your removable
bowl in the dishwasher or in hot water
with washing up liquid. Rinse and dry.
Never use a scouring pad, any metallic
object or scouring powder. You will risk
damaging the non-stick coating of the
bowl. Damage to the bowl by not
following these guidelines is not covered
in the guarantee.
Scratches inside the removable bowl or
brown marks on the exterior may appear
naturally if you use the appliance frequently.
Maintenance
Allow the fryer to cool down before
handling it.
The timer (depending on model)
If your timer does not work, have it
checked by an approved Moulinex
service centre (see list in service booklet).
The used battery should be disposed of
via the recycling system in force in your
country.
