Note: If your fryer contains solidified fat, store it
away at room temperature.
REPLACING THE OIL
The useful life for oil or fat depends on the
number of uses and type of frying. Impurities
end up at the bottom of the pan, the, located
below the heating element. Because of this the
particles do not become charred and the oil or
fat can be used for longer. It is advisable to pess
riodically filter the oil in order to remove these
particles.
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 conss
tainer.

USEFUL TIPS
• Foodstuffs should be completely dry before
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 stages.
