After frying fig. 7 When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if the food has been cooked thoroughly as required. In the models fitted with a viewing window this check can be carried out by looking through the window without opening the lid. If cooking is complete, turn off the appliance by turning the thermostat dial to the "0" position until the internal switch clicks. Drain excess oil by leaving the basket inside the fryer for a while in the high position. Filtering the oil or fat We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying as, especially when the food has been breaded or floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat. 8 Models with drainage tube Bring the front part of the fryer to the edge of the work surface, taking care that the feet never protrude over the edge (fig.
