After Frying - Miele KM 403 Operating Instructions Manual

After frying

Switch the fryer off and filter the oil. This
not only removes impurities which can
affect the taste of the food, but will help
the oil last longer.
Proceed as follows:
^ Allow the oil to cool down, but not to
solidify.
If it has solidified it can be melted by
heating the fryer up to 100 °C.
^ Place a heat resistant container of a
suitable size, e.g. a metal pan,
beneath the drain tap under the
appliance.
^ Open the drain tap by turning it
anti-clockwise a as far as it will go.
^ After the oil has drained out, close
the tap by turning it clockwise b as
far as it will go. Check that you
cannot turn it any further.
^ Filter the oil by pouring it through
kitchen paper or a metal sieve lined
with kitchen or filter paper and store it
in a closed heat-resistant container
until it is needed again.
Make sure that the drain tap under
the appliance is always easy to
access for draining.
Make sure the oil has cooled down
sufficiently before draining it. If it is
too hot there is a risk of burning and
scalding.
Make sure the container you use for
draining the oil into is heat-resistant
and cannot melt.
After using the fryer do not replace
the lid until the appliance has cooled
down.
The oil must be replaced if it
– is very dark and thick
– smells unpleasant and froths
– begins to smoke at a temperature of
170 °C or less.
