9. Old oil or fat (or oil containing a residue of particles from earlier use)
is inflammable and tends to ignite easily. It is therefore best to
change the oil or fat after it has been used three or four times,
bearing in mind that its life-span depends mainly on the kind and
quantity of food fried.
10. The life span can be extended by filtering the frying oil or fat after
each cycle of use.
11. The quality of much-used oil or fat cannot be improved by mixing
with fresh oil. The fresh oil or fat would also be spoilt after a short
while.
12. The frying oil or fat may be stored inside the deep fryer if the unit is
kept closed and kept in a cool place.
Health-conscious deep-frying
For nutritious, healthy deep-frying we recommend using a temperature
setting of no higher than 175°C when deep-frying amylaceous food, i.e.
food with a higher-than-average starch content. With a reduced frying
temperature, and with an equally reduced amount of food in the frying
basket, the build-up of substances detrimental to health is reduced to a
minimum.
General care and cleaning
✦ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the
power supply and has cooled down completely.
✦ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance or its
power cord with water and do not immerse them in water.
✦ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
✦ To remove the oil from the frying container, wait until it has cooled
down sufficiently but is still liquid, and then use a soup ladle to
transfer it carefully into a suitable, heat-resistant container. The oil
can be filtered by pouring it through absorbent paper inserted into a
heat-resistant funnel or into the frying basket itself.
✦ Do not pour frying oil down the kitchen sink. Once cold, it may be
disposed of together with your household refuse.
✦ The lid can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
✦ The lid contains a fat filter, which should be replaced after every few
frying cycles. Unlock the filter compartment cover and remove the
filter. Replacement filters may be obtained through the SEVERIN
Service.
Insert the new fat filter and replace the filter compartment cover.
✦ The inside of the frying container can be cleaned by wiping it first
