CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning or storing away.
Normal cleaning
1. Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth.
2. Put the lid on top of the bowl, to keep dust, etc. out of the oil.
Full cleaning (after every few uses)
•
Cover the work surface with at least 3 layers of paper towel.
•
You’ll need a 5 litre container and a wide necked funnel.
•
If you want to filter the oil, use a sieve lined with muslin or filter paper.
1. Remove the lid and basket.
2. Lift the heating/control unit off.
3. Using the funnel, pour the oil into the 5 litre container.
4. Clean the heating/control unit with a clean damp cloth.
5. Wash the body, lid, basket, and bowl in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

`
You may wash these parts in a dishwasher.
•
If you use a dishwasher, the harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect the
surface finishes.
•
The damage should be cosmetic only, and should not affect the operation of the appliance.
•
If residue builds up on the element, clean it with detergent, and clean more often.
•
Remove all trace of detergent and dry before reassembling.
Discolouration
With use, the basket, element, thermostats, and control wires will discolour. This is inevitable,
harmless, and won’t affect the operation of the appliance.
Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord)
is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general
household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated
appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal service.
