Please clean the appliance thoroughly before
operating it for the first time.
Cleaning the deep frying tub:
– Take out the deep frying basket and tilt up the
heating element. Clamp the heating element onto
the deep frying basket suspension (Fig. 16).
– Pour approximately four litres of water with
detergent into the empty tub.
– Tilt the heating element back into the frying
tub and heat up the appliance to the fat melting
stage.
– The water is drained off through the oil drain
valve, which is located under the funnel-shaped
base of the deep frying tub as follows: Unscrew
the plastic cap from the drain valve and open the
oil drain valve by turning the handle down
(Fig. 17).
– Use a temperature-resistant bucket with a
capacity of at least 10 litres to collect the water.
– Rinse the appliance with hot water and rub it dry.
Close the oil drain valve again (turn the handle
up) and screw on the plastic cap.
Note: The deep frying tub should not be treated
with stainless steel cleaners or care agents
because, in most cases, these are not neutral as far
as foodstuffs are concerned.
Clean the cover and the deep frying basket
suspension
with hot rinsing detergent solution
before operating the appliance for the first time and
after every use. Clean the deep frying basket in a
dishwasher.
Clean operator controls with a moist cloth and
gentle rinsing detergent only and wipe them dry
with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive
sponges or abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. Do
not use any commercially available stainless steel
cleaners as these may be aggressive to the printed
markings.
Caution! Risk of burns!
Water must not be allowed to drip into the hot fat!
4. Cleaning and care
Note:
To avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the
appliance, it is forbidden to use high-pressure or
steam jet cleaning devices.
