• 

Pre-cooked and oven chips have a coating of oil from the pre-cooking process. This will 
thicken and discolour the oil in your fryer.

• 

If you fry coated foods often, it’s worth keeping two lots of oil, one for coated foods and 
one for “oil-friendly” foods. Keep them in separate, labelled containers.

• 

Even filtered oil will be past its best after 10 to 12 uses. It may look OK, but it’ll already have 
affected the quality and taste of your food.

• 

As a rough guide, if you notice a marked improvement in flavour after changing the oil, you 

should have changed it earlier.

• 

Don’t top up oil that’s past its best. You’re just wasting new oil.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• 

Unplug the fryer and let it cool down fully before cleaning or moving it.

• 

Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

• 

Don’t put the control unit in water or any other liquid, and don’t put it in the dishwasher.

• 

If you intend to move the fryer without emptying it, take great care, as it’ll be heavy.

Cleaning after every use

Wipe the outer surfaces with a clean damp cloth, dry thoroughly, and put the lid on top of the 
bowl to keep dust, etc. out of the oil. 

Full cleaning (after every few uses)

• 

Cover the work surface generously with paper towel (at least three layers thick).

• 

You’ll need a suitable container (5 litre) for the used cooking oil. If the container isn’t wide 

necked, use a wide necked funnel.

• 

If you want to filter the oil at the same time, support a fine sieve over a wide necked 
container, or fit the funnel with a filter paper.

1. 

Remove the lid.

2.  Grip the sides of the control unit and slide it straight up.
3.  The element is attached to the control unit – hold it over the bowl till most of the oil has 

drained back into the bowl.

4.  Set it down on the kitchen paper to drain further.

5.  If you’re using a funnel, fit it to the oil container.
6.  Take care lifting the bowl – including the oil, it could weigh over 4 kilograms.

7. 

Use the rim round the bowl to lift the bowl out of the base unit – take care not to spill.

8.  Pour the oil from one of the corners of the bowl into the container or funnel.

9.  If you’re filtering at the same time, you’ll need to pour the oil a little at a time, waiting till 

the last lot has filtered through before adding the next lot.

10.  Wash the body, lid, basket, and bowl in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
11.  Clean the control unit and element with a damp cloth.
12.  If a residue starts to build up on the element where it meets the surface of the oil, clean it 

off with a little detergent, and reduce the time between cleaning operations. 

13.  Dry the element thoroughly and remove all trace of detergent before reassembling.

Dishwasher

• 

You may wash the body, lid, basket, and bowl in a dishwasher.

• 

If you use a dishwasher, the harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect the surface 
finishes. The damage should be cosmetic only, and should not affect the operation of the 
fryer.

Discolouration

With use, the basket and element will discolour. This is inevitable, harmless, and won’t affect the 
operation of the fryer.
