•
Do not mix different cooking oils.
•
Only use fresh and clean cooking oils.
•
Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying. Always use utensils that are safe to
immerse into hot oils without damaging the utensil or the appliance, and always
wear oven mitts when removing any burnt food particles.
•
After use and before storage, filter oil with the integrated filtration system (see Oil
Filtration).
•
Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly flavoured food.
•
Some meats, such as chicken wings, will release large amounts of liquids when frying,
thus watering down the oil. Do not reuse this oil.
OIL FILTRATION
NOTES:
Filter the oil after each use. Store filtered oil properly (see Storing oil).
➢
Dispose of the oil on a regular basis depending on oil quality (see Cooking with oil).
➢
After switching off the appliance, wait at least 3 hours for the oil to cool down,
➢
depending on the settings selected during use. Hotter oil will take longer to reach a
cool temperature.
Filtering the oil after each use will help prolong the life of the cooking oil, but it should
➢
still be discarded if the oil has deteriorated after multiple uses. We estimate that oil, in
normal use, should be changed at least after every 10 uses.
•
Ensure the oil container (15) is assembled, empty and in place inside the appliance.
•
Once the oil has cooled down to room temperature, turn the oil filtration control
knob (14) to the FILTER OIL position (ill. r). The oil will start dripping into the oil
container (15). The oil filter cover (11) will keep food residues from being transferred
to the oil container (15).
•
When all the oil has been filtered:
Turn the oil filtration control knob (14) to the LOCK position if the container
o
will remain inside the appliance.
Turn the oil filtration control knob (14) to UNLOCK position if the container is
o
to be removed from the appliance.
NOTES:
Always wait 3 to 4 hours until the oil has cooled down completely, before draining or
➢
filtering.
Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance while the oil pan (9) and
➢
oil container (15) are not both empty.
When removing the oil container (15) from the appliance, handle with care. Keep
➢
the oil container (15) flat and hold it with both hands.
