Always store the fryer with the lid fitted; to
stop dust or other elements from spoiling the
oil or fat.. Replace the oil when it becomes
darker, has bad smell or gives the food a bad
taste. Never add fresh oil or fat to that being
used.
Used oil or fat must never be poured down
the toilet or sink. Dispose of it in a closed
container and take it along to the appropriate
refuse container.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

fore attempting to store the appliance.
Before proceeding to clean the fryer, make
sure that it is completely cold and unplugged
from the wall socket. Remove the lid. Remove
the basket and then empty out the oil or fat
Cleaning the pan and the basket.
It is advisable to wash the pan and basket in
hot water and washing-up liquid each time
the oil is changed. If you intend to wash the
pan, first remove any leftover oil or fat with
the aid of a spatula and kitchen paper. Make
sure that it is completely dry before refilling
it with oil or fat.

Cleaning the lid and the grease filter.
Your fryer is equipped with a permanent
grease filter. It is advisable to clean it from
time to time. To do this:

2. Immerse the lid fully in hot soapy water
and leave it to soak for ten minutes.
3. Rinse the lid thoroughly and leave it to
dry.

Wipe the body clean with a damp cloth
or kitchen paper, do not use detergents or
abrasive cleaning products. Do not let this
part come into direct contact with water or
any other liquid.

USEFUL TIPS
• Foodstuffs should be completely dry be-
fore immersing them into oil or fat.
• To stop chips from sticking together wash
them before frying them.
• It is advisable to fry foodstuffs that contain
a lot of water, such as chips, in two stages:
Heat the oil up to maximum temperature
and put the chips in for five minutes. Drain
them off and wait until the oil has reached
maximum temperature again and then return
the chips so that they can finish browning
off.
• It is not necessary to defrost foodstuffs, but
it is advisable to fry frozen food in two sta-
ges.
