REPLACING THE ODOUR-EATER FILTER
Over time, the odour-eater filters located inside the lid
lose their effectiveness. When the filter (visible through
the hole "S" in fig. 11 in the inside cover) changes
colour, it must be replaced. To replace, remove the plas-
tic filter cover "F" (fig. 12) by pressing hook "G" in the
direction of arrow 1, then lifting in the direction of
arrow 2. Replace the filters.
IMPORTANT: The white filter must rest on the metal part
(fig. 13) and the coloured area must face upwards (or
towards the black filter). Replace the filter lid, making
sure the front hooks fit correctly as shown in fig. 13.
CLEANING
Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the
mains.
Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it
under the tap. Water infiltration could cause electric
shocks.
After allowing the oil to cool for about two hours,
empty the oil or fat as described in the paragraph "fil-
tering the oil or fat".
Remove the lid as shown in fig. 11.
Always remove the filters before immersing the lid in
water.
To clean the removable pan "A", proceed as follows:
• Remove it from the pan housing "R" and wash with
hot water and washing up liquid or in a dish wash-
er.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly. If washed in a dish wash-
er, make sure it is positioned in such a way as to
avoid scratching the non-stick coating.
Never empty the deep fryer by tipping it or turning it
upside down (fig. 14).
• You are recommended to clean the basket regular-
ly, taking care to remove any residues which may
have built up on the wheel guide ring.
• After removing the removable pan "A", dry the
inside of the pan housing "R" and the outside of the
deep fryer with a soft damp cloth to eliminate any
splashes or drips of oil or condensation.
• Clean and dry the seal to avoid it sticking to the pan
while the appliance is not in use. If it does become
stuck, to open the lid, just raise it with the hand
while at the same time holding down the open but-
ton.
REMOVABLE NON-STICK PAN
To clean the pan, never use abrasive objects or clean-
ing products, but only a soft cloth with neutral deter-
gent.
COOKING HINTS
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The oil or fat must never go below the minimum level.
It must also be completely renewed at intervals. The
length of time the oil or fat lasts depends on the foods
fried.
For example, breaded foods dirty the oil more than sim-
ple foods.
As in any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if heated up
repeatedly! Even if used and filtered correctly, it should
therefore be completely replaced regularly.
The rotating basket allows this deep fryer to be operat-
ed with only a small amount of oil. This has the advan-
tage that the quantity of oil thrown away is reduced by
about 50% compared with the amount for other deep
fryers on the market.
HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY
• It is important to follow the temperature recom-
mended for each recipe. If the temperature is too
low, the fried food absorbs oil. If it is too high, a
crust forms immediately, leaving the inside raw.
• When frying small quantities of food, the tempera-
ture of the oil must be set lower than the tempera-
ture indicated to avoid the oil boiling too violently.
• Wait until the oil has reached the right temperature
(when the light goes out) before immersing the food
to be fried.
• Do not overfill the basket. This would lead to a sud-
den drop in the temperature of the oil and the food
would be excessively greasy and unevenly fried.
• Make sure the food is thin and of an even thickness.
Despite their attractive appearance, thick pieces
cook badly inside, while if the thickness is uniform,
all pieces cook perfectly at the same time.
• To avoid splashes of oil, make sure the food is
completely dry before immersing it in the oil or
fat. Moist food also becomes soggy after cooking
(particularly potatoes). Food with a high water con-
tent (fish, meat, vegetables) should ideally be
breaded or floured. Make sure excess bread or
flour is removed before immersing in oil.
