HANDLING AND STORING THE OIL
Make sure all oil is only handled when it is completely cool!
• Remove any food residues from the oil after use.
• Filter the oil regularly.
• The oil should be changed once it has been used approximately 10 times. The following
are signs that the oil should be changed:
• Oil has gone dark.
• Oil has an unpleasant smell.
• Oil develops thick smoke when heated.
• Oil foams excessively when cooking.
• All the oil should be changed at the same time; do not mix old and new oil. The old oil
should be disposed of as per the relevant local regulations. Keep the oil in the apparatus
or an airtight container in a dry, cool and dark place (not necessarily in the fridge).
CLEANING
• Allow to cool completely and disconnect plug from socket before emptying and cleaning the
apparatus.
• Clean the apparatus every time it has been used: o Wipe the apparatus' cabinet and lid
inside and out with a well-wrung cloth which has been dipped in warm water with a little
detergent.
• The bowl, lid and basket and handle can be washed in warm water with washing-up
liquid. The basket can also be washed in a dishwasher.
• The lid can be removed for more thorough cleaning:
1. Open lid using release button.
2. Grip the lid at the back edge of the apparatus firmly with both hands, and pull upwards.
NB! The lid can be hard to remove.
3. Remove filter cover and extract filter as described below.
4. Wash the lid and filter cover in warm water with a little detergent. NB! Do not wash filter.
5. Replace lid by squeezing the metal clip on the lid back edge together, insert into the hole
in the cabinet and press down until the metal studs click into place.
• Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent.
• Never use a steel brush or scrubbing brush to clean the apparatus, as the surface may be
damaged.
CHANGING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTER
The anti-odour filter must be replaced after every 10-15 uses. The filter consists of three
layers: two white (upper and lower respectively) and one black which goes in the middle. The
apparatus should be completely cool before replacement.
1. Remove filter cover by pressing the release button (4) towards the back edge of the
apparatus, and raise.
2. Remove the filter and fit a new one.
3. Replace the filter cover by inserting the two studs on the back edge of the cover into the
two holes of the filter compartment back edge and press down, until they click into place.
STORAGE
• Wait until the apparatus is completely cool before putting it away.
• The apparatus is best stored with a little oil in it. If you do this, you should check that the
lid is closed properly so that no dust or dirt gets into the oil.
