CLEANING AND 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 soapy water, rinsed and
•
dried.
Cleaning the Fryer Element. Remove the element from the Fryer. Follow the instructions 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 washing 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 and ease it out of the basket. (See P 4)
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 using 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 securely 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.
THE RESET BUTTON
If you operate the fryer without any oil or with a very low level of oil in the tank the element
•
will rapidly reach a dangerously high temperature. If this occurs the element will switch off
automatically and disconnect power to the fryer. The mains power light will also extinguish.
To reset the fryer:
•
Disconnect the fryer from the mains
•
supply, and allow it to cool down
completely. Now remove the fryer
element and depress the Reset
Button which is located at the rear of
the element housing.
The fryer will now operate normally.
WARNING: it is extremely dangerous to
operate the fryer with low or no oil in the
tank.
