until the switch is heard to click off. Leave the contents
to drip for a moment and then open the lid and remo-
ve the basket without shaking it too vigorously.
For two-stage frying (e.g. potatoes), lift the basket at the
end of the first stage, wait for the indicator light to go off
and then lower the basket into the oil a second time (see
enclosed table).
FILTERING OF OIL OR FAT
It is advisable to filter the oil or fat after frying in order
to remove any food particles, especially if the food is
coated in breadcrumbs or flour. Food particles remai-
ning in the oil tend to burn, which causes the oil to dete-
riorate more quickly.
FOR MODELS FITTED WITH A DRAINAGE TUBE
Proceed as follows:
1. Raise the lid of the fryer and remove the basket. Check
that the oil is sufficiently cool (about 2 hours).
2. Open the panel (Q) and remove the drainage tube
(R) as shown in fig. 5.
3. Remove the cap (fig. 6). Take care to pinch the end of
the tube with two fingers so that the oil does not drain
until the tube has been placed in a receptacle.
4. Drain the oil into a suitable receptacle (fig. 6)
5. Use a sponge or a paper kitchen towel to remove
any deposits from the bowl.
6. Replace the drainage tube in its compartment. Do
not forget to replace the cap.
7. Place the filter supplied with the appliance in the bot-
tom of the basket (fig. 7). Spare filters can be obtai-
ned from your dealer or from our service centres.
8. Pour the oil very slowly into the basket, ensuring
that it does not overflow from the filter (fig. 8).
Note: After filtering the oil, it can be left in the fryer.
However, should a long period of time pass
between one frying and the next, it is advisable
to store the oil in a closed container, not expo-
sed to direct light in order to avoid its deterio-
ration.
To drain the oil into the receptacle, remove the
drainage tube and proceed as shown in fig. 9.
Oil used for frying fish should be stored sepa-
rately from oil used for other foods.
If fat is used for frying, this should not be
allowed to cool too much, otherwise it may
solidify.

CHANGING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTERS
With time the odour-eater filters placed inside the lid
lose their effectiveness. A change of colour in the filter,
visible through hole (E) on the inside cover, shows that
the filter needs to be changed. To replace it, remove
plastic filter cover (fig.11) by pressing hook in the direc-
tion of arrow 1, then raise it in the direction of arrow 2.
Replace the filters.
Note: The white filter must be inserted first with the black
filter on top. The filter cover must be placed over the black
filter (fig. 12).
CLEANING
Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the elec-
trical socket.
☛ Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it
under the tap. By getting inside the water would
cause short circuiting.
Do not immerse the lid in water without having first
removed the filters.
To clean the boiler pan, proceed as follows:
• Check that the oil is sufficiently cold (wait about 2
hours), then empty out the oil or fat as previously
described in the paragraph headed "filtering the oil
or fat".
• Remove any deposit from the bottom of the bowl
using a sponge or a paper towel.
• Wash the tank with hot water and washing up
liquid, then rinse.
• We advise regular cleaning of the basket, with care
being taken to eliminate any deposits.
• The basket can be washed in a dishwasher.
• After frying, wipe the outside of the fryer with a soft
damp cloth in order to remove any oil smears and
condensation.
• Remove the lid by pushing it gently backwards (see
arrow "1" fig. 10) and pulling upwards (see arrow
"2" fig. 10).
• After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove any water
left in the bottom of the container and, in particular,
inside the oil drainage pipe. This avoids dangerous
spurts of hot oil during use.
MODEL WITH NON-STICK BOILER PAN
To clean the boiler pan use a soft cloth with a neu-
tral detergent never using objects or abrasive deter-
gents.
