needs to be cooked, at the end of the first phase hook the basket
onto the basket support and wait for the light to go off again.Then
slowly place the basket in the oil a second time.
Filtering the oil or fat
Before performing cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the
machine off, allow it to cool down and unplug from the mains socket.
This procedure should be carried out each time you have finished
frying, especially when the food has been coated in crumbs or
flour.The food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid,
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.To pre-
vent the appliance from falling while filtering the oil, make sure that
the feet always remain on the work surface.
Models fitted with oil drain tap (if fitted)
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the basket and lid.
2. Open the oil tapcover.
3. Open the tap by turning it anticlockwise.
4. Run the liquid into a container (see figure 8), making sure it
doesn’t overflow.
5. Remove any deposits from the bowl using a sponge or tissue
paper.
6. Close the tap by turning it clockwise.
7. Close the cover.
It is a good idea to keep the oil used to fry fish separate from
that used to fry other food.
If lard or fat is used, make sure it does not cool down too much,
otherwise it will solidify.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the electrical socket.
Never immerse the deep fryer in water or under running tap
water (see Fig. 9).The infiltration of water into the control unit
may cause electrical shocks and short circuiting.
Check that the oil has cooled down, and then remove the control unit
and drain the oil as previously described in the paragraph “filtering the
oil or fat”. In the models without the oil drain tap, remove the bowl
and empty it by tilting it. Remove the deposits from the bowl using a
sponge or absorbent paper.
Except for the control unit, power cable and heating element, all the other
parts can be cleaned with warm water and dishwashing detergent.
Never use abrasive sponges, as this may damage the deep fryer.
When this procedure has been completed, carefully dry all parts
thoroughly.This will prevent hot splashes of oil.
