6. Cleaning and maintenance
6.1 Safety advice
o Before beginning with repair or cleaning works make sure the device has been
disconnected from power socket (pull the power plug!) and has cooled down.
o Do not use any acid agents and make sure no water ingresses the device.
o To protect yourself from electric shock, never immerse the device, its cables and the
plug in water or other liquids.
CAUTION!
The device is not suited for direct washing via water jets. Therefore, you must not
use any kind of pressure water jet for cleaning the device!
6.2 Cleaning
o Clean the device regularly.
o Before cleaning the device, turn it off using the ON/OFF switch and unplug the
device from its socket. Leave the device to cool.
o The heating element and shield can easily be removed from the oil reservoir by lifting
the control panel over the oil reservoir. This allows for easy washing of the heating
element, safety shield and oil reservoir.
o After it cools, pour the oil into an appropriate container (see 5.3 „Operating").
o Wash the cover, basket, oil reservoir and heating element shield in warm water and
a mild cleaning agent.
ATTENTION!
The control panel must not be washed with nor submerged in water. Moisture
must not get inside the panel. Before re-mounting, thoroughly dry all elements of
the device!
o Wipe the control panel, device surface and power cable with a moist cloth and mild
cleaning agent. Do not let water get inside the control panel, as this may cause
irregular power flow and improper functioning of the device.
o Do not use aggressive cleaning chemicals or abrasive substances, as they may
damage the deep fat fryer. Clean the deep fat fryer using mild cleaning substances.
Extremely dirty elements can be momentarily wet if necessary.
o Dry all elements thoroughly and re-assemble the device.
o If the device is to remain unused for a longer period of time, store it in a dry place.
Protect the device from corrosive fumes and gases.
