CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING:
Always ensure that the appliance and any parts and accessories
of it are
out of reach of young children
. Always switch OFF the appliance (tem-
perature dial set to MIN, green indicator is illuminated), then unplug the appliance,
and wait until the oil cooled down (at least 3 hours), before cleaning the appli-
ance. It will take a long time after operation for the oil to cool down. Always ensu-
re that the oil cooled down before disassembling, moving, and/or cleaning the
appliance.
Do not attempt to move the appliance with the oil in the oil container
still hot!
Otherwise, hot oil could be spilled, causing severe injuries and damage.
Keep in mind that the parts of the appliance are fatty and oil could drip, when remo-
ving any parts. Keep delicate objects in sufficient distance. Do not place the parts
of the appliance on surfaces that are sensitive to fat or moisture. It is a good idea to
have a large dish or bowl at hand.
DISASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
1. Switch off (temperature dial to MIN) and unplug the appliance. Let the appliance
cool down for at least 3 hours. The oil in the oil container may no longer be hot.
2. Press the opening button to open the lid.
3. You can clean the lid much more easily, when removing the lid. For this, push
the little black lock buttons at both sides of the hinge to the hinge. Then you can
lift the complete lid up and out.
Important:
The filter insert in the lid is fragile. It may not be squeezed, bend, or
pressed flat. Always handle the filter insert with special care to avoid damage! Do
not clean the filter insert with any brushes or clothes.
4. Remove the filter cover and carefully take out the filter insert. It is best to clean the
filter insert in a small bowl with hot dishwater. Just toss the filter in the dishwater.
Thereafter rinse with clear tap water. Place the filter insert on a dry kitchen towel.
Then leave it dry naturally.
Tip:
If the filter insert is damaged or soiled by oil vapour, you should replace it.
WARNING:
Do not replace the filter insert by any other type of filter. Unsuited
filters could catch fire during operation, thus causing severe injuries and damage!
Only use filter inserts dedicated for the appliance. For replacement, get in contact
with your vendor.
