Do the following when using solid fat for frying:
1. Before the first fry, melt the fat for the fryer in a
separate saucepan on a low heat.
2. Pour the liquid fat into the fryer's pan. Avoid
splashing it.
3. Check that the liquid fat covers the minimum
level mark. Switch the fryer on and carry out the
frying.
When solid fat which has been used for frying
has solidified in the fryer, proceed in the follo-
wing fashion:
1. Make some holes in the solidified fat with a
sharp object. Be careful not to damage the hea-
ting element.
2. Select a low temperature so that the fat sof-
tens up slowly.
3. When the fat has liquefied the temperature
can be brought up higher.
Note: If your fryer contains solidified fat, store it
away at room temperature.
REPLACING THE OIL
The useful life for oil or fat depends on the num-
ber of uses and type of frying. Impurities end
up at the bottom of the pan, the, located below
the heating element. Because of this the particles
do not become charred and the oil or fat can
be used for longer. It is advisable to periodically
filter the oil in order to remove these particles.
Always store the fryer with the lid fitted; to stop
dust or other elements from spoiling the oil or
fat.. Replace the oil when it becomes darker, has
bad smell or gives the food a bad taste. Never
add fresh oil or fat to that being used.
Used oil or fat must never be poured down the
toilet or sink. Dispose of it in a closed contai-
ner and take it along to the appropriate refuse
container.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Wait until the oil or fat has cooled down before
attempting to store the appliance. Remove the
lid. Side handles are provided to help you carry
the fryer.
Before proceeding to clean the fryer, make sure
that it is completely cold and unplugged from
the mains supply. Remove the lid, the basket, the
pan and the detachable control module. Empty
the oil or fat out of the pan.
Cleaning the pan and the basket.
It is advisable to wash the pan and basket in hot
water and washing-up liquid each time the oil is
changed. If you intend to wash the pan and the
basket, first remove any leftover oil or fat with
the aid of a spatula and kitchen paper.
Both the pan and the basket are dishwasher
proof.
Make sure that it is completely dry before refi-
lling it with oil, fat or sauce.
Cleaning the body and the lid
Clean the body in hot water and washing-up li-
quid. Clean the fryer with a cloth. Clean the lid
in hot water and washing-up liquid. Make sure
that it is completely dry before putting it back
onto the fryer.

Both the casing and the lid are dishwasher
proof.
Cleaning the detachable control module
Wipe it down with a damp cloth or kitchen pa-
per. Do not let this part come into direct contact
with water or any other liquid. Clean the deta-
chable module on a dry surface where there is
no risk of it falling.
After cleaning the appliance make sure that the
detachable module locks back into the corres-
ponding slots correctly.
USEFUL TIPS
• Foodstuffs should be completely dry before
immersing them into oil or fat.
• To stop chips from sticking together wash
them before frying them.
• It is advisable to fry foodstuffs that contain a
lot of water, such as chips, in two stages: Heat
the oil up to maximum temperature and put the
chips in for five minutes. Drain them off and wait
until the oil has reached maximum temperature
again and then return the chips so that they can
finish browning off.
• It is not necessary to defrost foodstuffs, but it
is advisable to fry frozen food in two stages.
ADVICE ON DISPOSAL:
Our goods come in optimised packaging. This
basically consists in using non-contaminating
materials which should be handed over to the
local waste disposal service as secondary raw
