After frying
When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if the food
has reached the required golden colour. In the models fitted with a vie-
wing window this check can be carried out by looking through the
window without opening the lid.
If you consider the cooking to be finished, switch off the appliance by
turning the thermostat knob to the “0” position until you hear the click
of the internal switch.
Allow the excess oil to drip off by leaving the basket in the deep
fryer in the high position.
Filtering the oil or fat
This procedure should be carried out each time you have finished
frying, especially when the food has been coated in crumbs or
flour.The food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid,
thus causing much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat.
Check that the oil is cool enough (wait around two hours).
Move the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface (Fig. 8).
To prevent the appliance from falling while filtering the oil,
make sure that the feet always remain on the work surfa-
ce (Fig. 8).
Models with oil drainage hose and without oil con-
tainer
1. Open the lid of the deep fryer and remove the basket.
2. Open door for drain hose storage (as in fig. 12).
3. Extract drainage hose.
4. Remove drainage hose cap while at the same time squeezing
the hose with two fingers to prevent the oil or fat from leaking
out before the hose has been directed into a container (fig.
12).
5. Allow the oil or fat to drip into a container (fig. 13).
6. Remove any deposits from the tank using a sponge or absor-
bent paper.
7. At the end of the procedure fit the plug back onto the drainage
pipe and reposition it in its compartment.
8. Put the basket back in the high position and place one of the
filters supplied at the bottom of the basket (fig. 10).You can
obtain the filters from your retailer or one of our service cen-
tres.
9. Next pour the oil or fat very slowly into the deep fryer so
that it does not spill out of the filter (fig. 11).
10. The oil which has been filtered in this way can be preserved
inside the deep fryer. However, if a long time elapses before it
is next used, it is advisable to preserve the oil in a closed con-
