Replacing the minute timer battery (fig. 5) · Remove the minute timer from its compartment by prising it from the right side (see fig. 5A). · Turn the battery cover (fig. 5B) placed on the back in an anticlockwise direction until it is released. · Replace the battery with another of the same type. If the appliance is to be replaced or thrown away, the battery must be removed and disposed of in accordance with the current laws as it represents an environmental hazard. 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 viewing 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 " " 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. If the cooking needs to be done in two phases (e. g. potatoes) raise the basket at the end of the first phase and wait for the signal lamp to go off again. Then immerse the basket back in the oil for a second time (see enclosed tables). FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying as, especially when the food has been breaded or floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat. Check that the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2 hours). Bring the front part of the deep fryer to the edge of the work surface, being careful that feet "M" are always inside the area of the work surface (fig. Pull box "R" outwards (as in fig. 7). Place oil container "Q" without the "J" lid in the special compartment (fig. 8). Open inspection door "Z" (as in fig. 9). Insert oil filter "P" onto the container (fig. 9) 6. Extract drainage pipe "S", remove plug "L" while at the same time squeezing the pipe between two fingers to avoid the liquid coming out until it has been positioned above the filter (see fig. If the oil is particularly "dirty", be careful to ensure that it does not overflow from the filter. At the end of the procedure reposition the pipe in its compartment after replacing the plug and close the inspection door. [. . . ] The cooking liquid is unsuitable. REMEDY Replace the filter. Use a good peanut oil. The oil overflows The oil has deteriorated and causes too much foam. You have immersed food which is not sufficiently dry in the hot oil. The basket has been immersed too quickly. [. . . ]
