To reattach the lid hold it slightly tilted backwards and press it firmly back down into the rear casing making sure the spring is fitted into the groove until it clicks into place.

Never use abrasive cleaners or abrasive scouring pads to clean your fryer. We recommend cleaning the fryer after each use. Storing the oil The sealed lid of your fryer allows you to store the oil inside the appliance. The fryer must be stored at room temperature. Changing the filters The life of the filters depends on the type of food fried. The mesh filters will absorb unpleasant frying odors for about 15 fryings. Unpack the filters and insert them in the filter compartment with the thick white layer underneath. Warning: do not use the appliance with over used filters as this could cause bad odours and obstruct the steam. 5 Electric Fryer F600 F600 19-07-2004 10:49 Pagina 6 Frying non-frozen food Type of food CHIPS Half portion Whole portion FISH Squid Scampi tails Sardines Sole (2 pieces) Beef cutlets (2 pieces) Chicken cutlets (2 pieces) Meat balls (13 pieces) Artichokes Cauliflower Mushrooms Aubergines Courgettes Max.
