CLEANING THE FRYER
STORAGE
Cleaning should be carried out when the fryer is unplugged from the mains.
•
The fryer and the oil should be completely cool.
•
Use a non-metallic cloth or pad and a soft detergent to clean the appliance. Avoid the use
•
of abrasive cleaning materials as these may damage the appliance surfaces.
Remove the lid and the basket from the fryer.
•
Cleaning the basket:
•
The basket and handle should be washed in warm soppy water,
rinsed and dried.
Cleaning the lid:
•
The appliance lid should also be washed in warm soppy water, rinsed
and dried.
Cleaning the Fryer Element.
•
Remove the element from the Fryer. Follow the instruc-
tions on Page 4 to clean the element.
Cleaning the Body:
•
Wipe the body of the fryer with a damp cloth and dry well.
Cleaning the Oil Tank:
•
Carefully lift the oil tank out of the fryer and pour the oil off into a
suitable receptacle. Pour warm soapy water into the tank and wash it well. Rinse in fresh
water and allow to fully dry. When washing the oil tank ensure you do not damage the
interior surface.
The Lid, basket and oil tank are
dishwasher safe. If you are wash-
ing the basket in the dishwasher
we suggest you remove the handle
and wash it in the cutlery basket.
To remove the handle:
Squeeze the wires at the
•
base of the handle and ease
it out of the basket.
Reverse the procedure to re-
•
attach the handle.
STORING THE OIL
You may store filtered, cooled oil in the fryer.
•
Remove the oil tank and carefully pour the cooled oil into a large container .
•
Wipe out the oil tank; wash it with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse well; towel dry
•
and replace the tank in the fryer.
Place a paper filter in the Basket. Place the Basket in the upright position
•
Slowly pour the cool, used oil through the filter into the fryer. Discard the filter.
•
Lower the basket into the oil and then remove the handle from the basket.
•
Replace the Lid and store the fryer in a cool location. Store the basket handle separately.
•
If you fry infrequently, the used oil should be stored in a separate, covered container in
•
the refrigerator.
Solid fat must not be stored in the fryer!
•
STORING THE FRYER
Re-assemble the fryer after cleaning is complete.
•
If you store the oil separately:
•
Remove the handle, place
it in the basket and then place the lid on the appliance. For
added security you can attach the handle upside down us-
ing the lower guides and then fold it down into the basket
as shown in the illustration.
If you store the fryer with oil in the tank:
•
Store it with
the handle removed and the lid on. Ensure the fryer is se-
curely stored in a cupboard or other covered storage area
where the oil is unlikely to spill or get contaminated as the
lid is not dustproof.
