Cleaning
Filtering the oil
• You may store the oil in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container.
• Do not pour used oil/fat into the sink. Leave it to cool, and throw it away
with household waste-according to the local community regulations.
• If you use solid shortening, we advise you to store it separately from
the fryer.
• Crumbs that break away from foods tend to burn and alter the quality
of the oil more rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of catching fire.
For this reason, filter the oil regularly.
Cleaning the fryer
• Always unplug your fryer and leave it to cool completely before cleaning
it (approx. 2 hours).
• Remove the lid, the basket and handle and the control unit.
• Remove the filter mesh and throw away the burnt crumbs –
fig.14
.
• The lid, the bowl, the frying basket and the filter mesh are dishwasher
safe –
fig. 3
- or can be immersed in soapy water.
• Clean the housing, the control unit and the heating element with a
damp cloth.
• Ensure all components are dry before placing them back inside the
fryer –
fig.6
.
• Put the lid on the fryer for clean storage.
Reset function
• Your appliance is equipped with an overheating security feature located
in the back of the control unit.
• If you use your fryer without oil the safety cut-off is activated and the
appliance will shut off automatically.
• In this case, unplug the appliance and let it cool (about 10 minutes).
• After the bowl has been filled with oil, plug the appliance in. Then press
the safety cut-off RESET button with a toothpick or similar non-metallic
object –
fig.15
.
• If the problem with the safety cut-off persists, please contact our
Helpline (see details on page 12).
Let the fryer with the
oil in the removable
bowl cool completely
before filtering the oil (2
hours). We recommend
changing the oil/fat after
a maximum of 8 to 10
uses-
fig.13
. If using
sunflower oil, ensure the
oil is changed after every
5 uses.
Never immerse the
control unit in water
and never wash it under
running water. Never
wash the housing and
the control unit in the
dishwasher-

. Do
not store your deep
fryer outside. Do not use
aggressive or abrasive
cleaning products.
