Changing oil or fat
Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat
regularly.To do so, follow the instructions below.
If you mainly use the fryer to prepare French fries and if you sieve the oil or fat after each use, you
can re-use the oil or fat 10 to 12 times before it needs to be changed. If you use the fryer to prepare
food that is rich in proteins (such as meat or fish), you should change the oil or fat more often.
Never use the same oil longer than 6 months and always follow the instructions on the package.
Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
Never mix different types of oil or fat.
Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or
taste or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
Disposing of used oil or fat
Pour used oil or liquid fat back into its original (resealable) plastic bottle.You can dispose of used fat
by letting it solidify in the fryer (without the basket in it) and subsequently scooping it out of the
fryer by means of a spatula and wrapping it in a newspaper. If applicable, you can put the bottle or
newspaper in the bin for non-compostable waste (not in the compostable waste bin) or dispose of
it in accordance with the regulations in your country.
Storage
1 Put all parts back into/onto the fryer and close the lid.
2 Roll up the cord, put it into the cord storage compartment and insert the plug in the plug
fixing facility (fig. 17).
3 Lift the fryer by its handles.
