5 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Z
Wait until the oil has completely cooled before proceeding to dismantle
and clean the fryer. Unplug the deep fryer.
1 The basket, lid and vat can be washed either with soapy water or in the
dishwasher.
2 The main body can be wiped with a damp cloth.
3 Replace all the parts and remember that they must be completely dry
before you put them back into position.
6 PRACTICAL HINTS
1 Food items must be completely dry before you place them in oil or fat.
2 In order to prevent potatoes from sticking together, wash them before
you fry them.
3 If the fryer is not going to be used continuously, it is best for the oil or
liquid fat to be kept in the refrigerator or in a cool place in tightly closed
containers. Beforehand, using a strainer, remove all the loose particles
that the fried food may have released into the oil.
4 Change the oil when it looks dark, smells bad or the food tastes bad.
Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
5 Do not leave oil/fat at a high temperature for longer than necessary.
6 Always store the fryer with its lid closed to prevent dust or other products
from deteriorating the oil or fat.
7 The discarded oil or fat must not be thrown down the WC or the sink. Put
them into a closed container and take them to a suitable rubbish
container.
