Changing the oil
Unplug the fryer. Wait until the oil is
lukewarm. Remove the lid (A).
Empty the oil or fat into a large container
and put it in the waste disposal.
Filtering the oil
Remove small pieces of food with a
non-metallic skimmer. You may store
the oil or fat in the fryer, or in a separate
airtight container.
Filter the oil after each use with a filter
paper (available from approved service
centres). Crumbs that break away from
food tend to burn and alter the quality of
the oil more quickly. Over time this
increases the risk of the fryer catching
fire. For this reason, filter the oil
regularly.
Practical tips
1. Oil or fat
Never operate your fryer without oil.
Always use an oil which can withstand
high temperatures.
Do not mix different types of oils.
Change the oil when it becomes brown
(every 8 to 12 uses, depending on the
amount of cooking done). If using sunflower
oil ensure the oil is changed after every 5
uses.
Important: Before each use, make
holes in the solid fat with a non-
metallic spatula in the bottom of the
bowl, in order to allow any water
trapped under the fat to escape in the
form of steam. Set the temperature
selector (F) to position 150°C to melt the
fat.
2. Preparing foods for frying
No matter what the recipe, food must
be perfectly dry: this will prevent
overflowing and extend the life of the oil.
When dishes include raw potatoes
(chips, crisps and potato straws), wash
them in cold water to get rid of the
starch. This will stop them from sticking
together. Dry them carefully and
thoroughly with paper kitchen towel.
When preparing frozen foods, before
cooking, remove any ice crystals on
the food by placing the frozen food in
the basket and gently shaking the
basket over the sink.
3. Cooking
10
Do not overfill the basket, or you will
cause the temperature of the hot oil to
drop too much, and this will make the
food greasy and soggy.
The capacity of your fryer is limited to:
- 1,2 kg of fresh chips in 2 fryings.
- 900 g of frozen chips
For best results, we advise that you use:
- 700 g of fresh chips
- 450 g of frozen chips
Do not leave your fryer heating unnecessa-
-rily: your oil will last longer this way.
Do not leave your cooked food in the
basket in the draining position for too
long, as the steam may soften them and
make them soggy.
Cleaning
Unplug your appliance and allow it to
cool down before handling it.
Clean the exterior of the fryer with a
damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive pad
or any abrasive or alcohol based
cleaning products.
Never immerse the appliance in water
and never wash it under running water.
Remove the lid. Wash the lid with hot
12
water with washing up liquid, rinse and
dry.
Never wash the lid in the dishwasher.
Wash the basket in the dishwasher or in
hot water with washing up liquid, rinse
and dry.
When you change the oil, take the
opportunity to clean your bowl with hot
water and washing up liquid. Rinse and
dry.
