Electric deep fryer

Cleaning
Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the electrical
socket.
*
Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it under
the tap.The infiltration of water may cause short-circui-
ting and electric shocks.
After allowing the oil to cool for about 2 hours, empty out the oil
or fat as previously described in the paragraph “filtering the oil or
fat”.
Remove the lid by lifting it carefully (Fig. 14).
Do not wash the lid before removing the filters.
To clean the bowl, proceed as follows:
•
Place the fryer on the draining surface of the sink and remove
the oil drain tube (see previous paragraph ‘oil drain tube’). Let
the tube hang over the sink. Using a jug of warm soapy water
and a soft brush gently clean the inside of the bowl, the dirty
water will flow directly into the sink (fig. 15).
•
A plastic pipe cleaner is supplied with the product for use in
cleaning the oil drainage tube (Fig. 16). It is essential that no
alternative pipe cleaners are used as DAMAGE may occur to
the tube.
•
Regular examination of the oil drainage tube should be carried
out. If the tube appear damaged it should only be replaced by a
De’Longhi appointed service agent, contact De’Longhi custo-
mer services for your local agent address.
•
The basket should be cleaned regularly, with care being taken
to remove any deposits.The basket and its handle can be was-
hed in the dishwasher.
•
Dry the outside of the deep fryer using a soft, damp cloth, to
remove any splashes and drops of oil or condensation.
•
Clean and dry the seal, to prevent it from sticking to the deep
fryer bowl when the appliance is not in use.
•
After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove any residual
water from the bottom of the bowl and, above all, from
inside the oil drain tube.This will prevent dangerous
splashes of hot oil during operation.
