strained into a receptacle.

suitable container and filter under the drain.
3. Slip a muslin or other suitable bag over the drain
valve. Crumbs will be caught in the bag but
frying medium will strain freely through bag into
the receptacle.
General

regular and thorough and all controls and

periodically by a qualified service person. If any
small faults occur, have them attended to

breakdown. It is recommended that the
