FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
Please note: You should lter the oil or fat each time you
fry, especially if you cook food in breadcrumbs or our.
Wait for the oil to cool down suciently (wait about two hours).
Models without drain hose (Q) and oil container (M)
• Open the lid of the deep fryer (Z) and remove the bowl (D)
(g. 8), lifting it by the handles.
Empty the oil in the bowl into another container.
• Replace the removable bowl in the fryer.
• Attach the basket (U) to the edge of the bowl and place the
lter in the bottom of the basket (g. 9).
Filters can be obtained from authorised dealers or the manu-
facturer’s customer services.
• Then pour the oil or fat back into the deep fryer very slowly to
avoid it overowing from the lter (g. 10).
Models with drain hose (Q) and oil container (M)
• Place the fryer near the edge of a worktop (g. 11).
• Pull the drawer (P) outwards as shown in g. 12.
• Place the oil container (M) without the lid (N) in the special
housing (g. 13).
• Open the door (R) (g. 14) and extract the drain hose (Q).
• Open the cap (O) by turning it anticlockwise (g. 15).
• When you have nished, close the cap by turning it clockwi-
se, replace the drain hose in the compartment and close the
door.
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
Every now and then it must be completely changed.
As with any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a
number of times!
Even if used and ltered correctly, it should therefore be changed
completely on a regular basis.
You should ideally change the oil completely after frying for 5/8
times and always in the event of:
• unpleasant smells
• smoke during frying
• the oil becoming dark.
Thanks to the rotating basket, the appliance fries with little oil.
This means you save about half the oil used by other deep fryers
on the market.
FRYING FROZEN FOOD
Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice. This should be
removed before cooking by shaking the basket.
Danger of burns! Before immersing the basket, make sure
the lid is tightly closed. Immerse the basket in the oil very slowly
to prevent the oil from boiling over.

instruction for use
Cooking times and temperatures are approximate and must be adjusted according to quantity and personal tastes.
(*) Recommended quantity for best frying results. You can, of course, fry a larger quantity of frozen potato chips, but they will be greasier
as a result of the sudden drop in oil temperature on immersion.
