REPLACING THE ODOUR-EATER FILTERWith time the odour-eater filters placed inside the lidlose their effectiveness. A change of colour in thefilter, visible through hole “A” of fig.11 on the insidecover, shows that the filter needs to be changed. Toreplace it, remove plastic filter cover “F” (fig.12) bypressing latch “H” in the direction of arrow 1, thenraise it in the direction of arrow 2. Replace the filters.P.S. The white filter must rest on the metal part(fig.13) and the coloured area must face upwards (ortowards the black filter).Reassemble the filter cover, being careful to insertthe front latchs correctly (as shown in fig.13).Do not run the appliance with exhausted filtersas this could obstruct the steam causing badodours.CLEANINGBefore cleaning, always remove the plug from theelectrical socket.*Never immerse the deep fryer in water or holdit under the tap. By getting inside the waterwould cause short circuiting.After having appropriately allowed the oil to coolfor about 2 hours, empty out the oil or fat aspreviously described in the paragraph headed“filtering the oil or fat”.REMOVE THE LID AS SHOWN IN FIG.11Do not immerse the lid in water without having firstremoved the filters.To clean the bowl, proceed as follows:• Wash the tank with hot water and washing upliquid. Always use the oil drainage pipe to emptyout the water as shown in fig. 15. Then rinse anddry carefully; remove any remaining water whichhas collected in the oil drainage pipe.*Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it orturning it upside down (fig.16)• In order to clean the inside of the drainage pipe,use the pipe brush supplied (fig. 14).• We advise regular cleaning of the basket, with carebeing taken to eliminate any deposits which mighthave accumulated in the basket’s wheel guide ring.• Dry the outside of the deep fryer with a soft,damp cloth in order to get rid of splashes andany little dribbles of oil or condensation.• Clean and dry the washer as well in order to avoidit sticking to the bowl when the boiler is not in use.(To open the lid in the event of sticking, you onlyneed to raise the lid by hand while at the same timekeeping the opening button pressed down).• Remove the lid by pushing it gently backwards(see arrow “1” fig. 11) and pulling upwards (seearrow “2” fig. 11).• After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove anywater left in the bottom of the container and,in particular, inside the oil drainage pipe.This avoids dangerous spurts of hot oilduring use.MODEL WITH NON-STICK bowlTo clean the bowl use a soft cloth with a neutraldetergent never using objects or abrasivedetergents.COOKING HINTSHOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTSThe oil or fat must never go below the minimumlevel. From time to time it is necessary to renew itcompletely. The length of time the oil or fat lastsdepends on what is fried.Breading, for example, dirties the oil more thansimple frying.As for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if itis reheated several times! Therefore, even if it isused and filtered correctly, we recommend replacingit completely fairly often.Since the deep fryer works with little oil, due to itsrotating basket, there is the considerable advantagethat you only have to get rid of about half the amountof oil that you would with the other deep fryers onthe market.HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY• It is important to follow the recommendedtemperature for every recipe. If the temperatureis too low, the fried food absorbs oil. If thetemperature is too high a crust quickly forms onthe outside while the inside remains uncooked.• The food which is to be fried must only beimmersed when the oil has reached the righttemperature, i.e. when the signal lamp goesoff.• Do not overfill the basket. This would cause thetemperature of the oil to drop suddenly, resultingin fried food which is too greasy and not uniformlyfried.• Check that the food is thinly sliced and of eventhickness, as food which is too thick cooks badlyon the inside, despite looking nice, while food ofan even thickness reaches the ideal cookingpoint all at the same time.• Dry the food completely before immersing itin the oil or fat, as wet food becomes soggyafter cooking (especially potatoes). It is advisableto bread or flour food which has a high watercontent (fish, meat, vegetables), being careful toremove the excess bread or flour beforeimmersing it in the oil.10GB 4-12-2000 12:23 Pagina 10
