Cleaning
Filtering the oil
• You may store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container.
• Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave it to cool, and throw it away with the
household waste – according to the local community regulations.
• Crumbs that break away from food tend to burn and alter the quality of the
oil more rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of catching fire. For this
reason, filter the oil regularly.
Cleaning the fryer
• Remove the control unit and heating element and clean both parts with a
damp cloth or sponge.
• Clean the lid using a sponge and soapy water. Rinse and dry carefully -
fig.12
.
• The filter in the lid can be cleaned. Remove the filter cover, then the filter.
• The bowl, the frying basket, the housing and the filter are dishwasher safe or
can be immersed in soapy water.
• Ensure all components are dry before placing them back inside the fryer.
• The lid is fitted with a permanent metallic filter. This filter does not need to be
replaced.
RESET function
• Your appliance is equipped with an overheating safety feature if you use your
fryer without oil.
• If the safety cut-out is activated, the appliance will shut off automatically and
the power-on light will turn off.
• In this case, unplug the appliance and let it cool.
• Then remove the control unit and press the safety cut-out RESET button with a
toothpick or similar non-metallic object after the bowl has been filled with oil.
• Plug in the appliance again.
• If the problem with the safety cut-out persists, please contact our Helpline
(see details on Page 7).
Never immerse the control
unit with the heating
element in water and never
wash it under running
water.
Never wash the lid in the
dishwasher.
Do not store your deep
fryer outside.
We recommend changing
the oil after a maximum of
8 to 10 uses.
