Cleaning tip: Put a cup of water and a small squirt of detergent in the pan. Set the appliance to the
lowest setting and switch it on for about 10 minutes. Switch it off again and then rinse thoroughly.
Cover with permanent filter
The permanent filter absorbs the oil vapour, only allowing steam to pass through. We advise you to
regularly clean the cover with permanent filter. The cover in its entirety can be washed in the dishwasher,
or it can be soaked for 5 to 10 minutes in hot soapy water. Rinse carefully and dry. To clean the metal
filter separately, it can be removed from the cover by unscrewing two screws.
Remaining parts
basket with removable handle
fondue ring
fondue forks
These can all be cleaned in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Rinse and dry the parts well before re-use.
These parts are not dishwasher-safe,
REPLACING THE OIL
For fondues, we recommend replacing the oil after each use. Oil for deep- frying can be used several
times.
In the case of high quality deep frying and fondue oil, the useful life depends on the following factors:
• How often the pan is used.
• How long the pan is used for.
• The temperature during use.
• The quantity of food (large quantities of food cause the oil to cool off too much).
• The nature of the food (e.g. spices used).
• The cleansing of the oil during and after deep-frying and fondues. Food remnants, breadcrumbs and
pieces of batter that have fallen into the oil should be removed from the oil during frying. After frying
the oil should be filtered. This can be done as follows:
a. Let the oil cool down.
b. Drain the basket and remove it from the pan.
c. Place kitchen paper in the basket.
d. Filter the oil through the basket into a bowl of appropriate size.
Oil that is too old has the following characteristics:
• A dark colour.
• A lower smoking point. This means that smoke develops at the normal deep frying temperature.
• A strong smell.
• An acrid taste.
If the oil has one of more of these characteristics, it must be replaced. Always replace all the old oil and
do not top up the pan. Old oil will spoil the new oil very quickly. Please have consideration for the quality
of the drinking water and do not pour old oil down the sink, but rather keep the empty oil bottle and write
"old oil" on it to avoid any confusion. Once it has cooled down, the old oil can be poured into this bottle
and your local sanitation department will tell you how you can dispose of it.
