Food particles remaining in the oil tend to burn, which causes the oil to deteriorate more quickly. Remove the lid and empty the tank from one of its sides (left or right side edge of the tank). Use a sponge or a paper kitchen towel to remove any deposits from the bowl. Hook the basket to the bowl and place the supplied paper filter in the bottom of the basket. Spare filters can be obtained from your dealer or from our service centres. Pour the oil very slowly into the basket, ensuring that it does not overflow from the filter. Note:After filtering the oil, it can be left in the fryer. However, should a long period of time pass between one frying and the next, it is advisable to store the oil in a closed container, not exposed to direct light in order to avoid its deterioration. Oil used for frying fish should be stored separately from oil used for other foods. If fat is used for frying, this should not be allowed to cool too much, otherwise it may solidify.
