[. . . ] 11 When the cooking is finished, lift the handle (C2) horizontally, until you hear a "click" as it locks. Place the basket on the edge of the bowl with basket hanging clips. Close the lid when the fryer is not in use. To use a second time wait for the temperature indicator light to go out before frying. To avoid any risk of burns, never put your hands above the odour filtration zone. FILTERING THE OIL Remove small pieces of food with a non-metallic skimmer. You may store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container. Filter the oil after each use with a filter paper (available from approved service centres). Crumbs that break away from food tend to burn and alter the quality of the oil more quickly. Over time this increases the risk of the fryer catching fire. For this reason, filter the oil regularly. Empty the oil or fat into a large container and put it in the waste disposal. Practical tips OIL OR FAT Never operate your fryer without oil. Always use a good quality blended vegetable oil which can withstand high temperatures. Change the oil when it becomes brown (every 8 to 12 uses, depending on the amount of cooking done). If using sunflower oil, groundnut oil and soya oil ensure the oil is changed after every 5 5 uses. Never use lard or dripping as this may cause overflowing, smoking or risk of fire. Important: Before each use, make holes in the solid fat with a non-metallic spatula in the bottom of the bowl, in order to allow any water trapped under the fat to escape in the form of steam. Set the temperature selector to position 150°C to melt the fat. PREPARING FOODS FOR FRYING No matter what the recipe, food must be perfectly dry : this will prevent overflowing and extend the life of the oil. When dishes include raw potatoes (chips, crisps and potato straws), wash them in cold water to get rid of the starch. This will stop them from sticking together. Dry them carefully and thoroughly with paper kitchen towel. [. . . ] The fryer has been filled beyond the max level. Food overloaded with ice/water plunged into hot oil. Recommended quantities have been exceeded. Basket misshapen Mixture of different oils/fats Not changing the oil often enough. [. . . ]
