If you consider the cooking to be finished, switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat
knob to the “OFF” position until you hear the click of the internal switch.
Allow the excess oil to drip off by leaving the basket in the deep fryer in the raised position.
Note: If the cooking needs to be done in two phases (e.g. potatoes) raise the basket at the end
of the first phase and wait for the signal lamp to switch off again. Then immerse the basket back
in the oil for a second time (see enclosed tables).
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying especially
when the food has been breaded or floured. The food particles tend to burn if they remain in
the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat.
WARNING
Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it or turning it upside down.
Check that the oil is cool enough, waiting about 2 hours.
Bring the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface and be careful that feet “L” are
always inside the area of the work surface (fig. 8).
1. Open the lid of the deep fryer and remove the basket.
2. Open door “S” (as in fig. 9).
3. Extract drainage pipe “O”.
4. Remove plug “K” while at the same time squeezing the pipe with two fingers to prevent the
oil or fat from leaking out before the pipe has been directed into a container (fig. 9).
5. Allow the oil or fat to drip into a container (fig. 10).
6. Remove any deposits from the tank using a sponge or absorbent paper.
7. At the end of the procedure fit the plug back onto the drainage pipe and reposition it in its
compartment.
8. Put the basket back in the high position and place one of the filters supplied at the bottom of
the basket (fig. 12). You can obtain the filters from your retailer or one of our service centres.
9. Next pour the oil or fat very slowly into the deep fryer so that it does not spill out of the filter
(fig. 13).
10.The oil which has been filtered in this way can be preserved inside the deep fryer. However,
if a long time elapses before it is next used, it is advisable to preserve the oil in a closed
container in order to stop it deteriorating. It is good practice to keep oil used for frying fish
separate from that used for frying other food.
* In the event of solid fat or lard being used, be careful not to let it cool down too much or
it will solidify.
REPLACING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTERS
With time the anti-odour filters placed inside the lid lose their effectiveness. A change of colour
in the filter, visible through hole “A” of fig.14 on the inside cover, shows that the filter needs to
be changed. To replace it, remove plastic filter cover “F” (fig.15) by pressing hook “H” in the
direction of arrow 1, then raise it in the direction of arrow 2. Replace the filters.
N.B: The white filter must rest on the metal part (fig.16) and the coloured area must face
upwards (towards the black filter).
Reassemble the filter cover, being careful to insert the front hooks correctly (as shown in fig.16).
