(TIP: brushing the inside of the window with a little lemon juice or vinegar helps preventing condensation build-up. ) IMPORTANT: never immerse the fryer, cord or plug in water or any other liquid. Never use abrasive cleaners or abrasive scouring pads to clean your fryer. We recommend cleaning the fryer after each use. Storing the oil The sealed lid of your fryer allows you to store the oil inside the appliance. The fryer must be stored at room temperature. Changing the filters The life of the filters depends on the type of food fried. The mesh filters will absorb unpleasant frying odors for about 15 fryings. Close the lid of the fryer and open the filter cover. Unpack the filters and insert them in the filter compartment with the thick white layer underneath. Close the filter cover by pressing gently until it clicks shut. Warning: do not use the appliance with over used filters as this could cause bad odours and obstruct the steam. 5 Electric Fryer F600 F600 19-07-2004 10:49 Pagina 6 Frying non-frozen food Type of food CHIPS Half portion Whole portion FISH Squid Scampi tails Sardines Sole (2 pieces) Beef cutlets (2 pieces) Chicken cutlets (2 pieces) Meat balls (13 pieces) Artichokes Cauliflower Mushrooms Aubergines Courgettes Max.

For good results each time you fry, we recommend you do not exceed the maximum quantities set out in the following table. · Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals which must be removed before cooking. This can be done by shaking the basket. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil, to ensure that the oil does not boil over. Close the fryer lid after the basket has been placed inside the fryer. The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial temperature of the food which is to be fried and according to the temperature recommended by the frozen food producer.
