After Frying - Miele KM 402 Operating Instructions Manual

Using the fryer

After frying

Turn off the fryer and let the oil cool.
We recommend occasionally filtering
the frying oil to remove impurities that
can effect the taste of the food. This will
also extend the useful life of the oil.
Filtering the oil:
Make sure that the bottom of the
fryer is accessible so the oil can be
drained.
Let the oil cool to a safe temperature
before draining to prevent burns. If
the oil has solidified, melt it by briefly
setting the fryer to 212°F (100°C)
and then turning it off.
Place a heat resistant container of a
suitable size (a metal pot for
example) under the drain valve. Only
use containers that are able to with-
stand heat to collect the oil.
Slowly open the drain valve,
turning it counterclockwise

Close the valve after all the oil has
drained by turning it clockwise,
until it can turn no further (do not
over-tighten the valve). Make sure
that the valve is closed.
Filter the oil by passing it through a
filtering system or a filter lined metal
sieve
Wipe up any residues remaining in
the reservoir. The heating element
can be raised to make this easier.
When finished cleaning, lower the
heating element and slowly pour the
filtered oil back into the reservoir.
Check the level and add fresh oil as
necessary. Place the lid on the fryer
to protect the oil.
Change the oil when it:
– is very dark and does not pour easily.
– smells unpleasant or froths.
– begins to smoke at a 340°F (170°C)
or less.
