After frying
When the cooking time has finished raise the basket and check the
food is cooked as required. In models fitted with a viewing win-

When cooking is completed switch the appliance off by turning the
thermostat knob to the “OFF” position until you hear the click of

switch off again.Then immerse the basket slowly back in the oil for
a second time (see enclosed tables).

thus causing much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat.
Check that the oil is cool enough (wait around two hours).
Move the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface (Fig.

sure that the feet always remain on the work surface (Fig. 10).

hose.
3. Remove the cap (as shown in Fig. 11) and at the same time
hold the hose between two fingers to prevent the liquid from
being released until the end of the tube has been placed in a
