4. When frying, the viewing window enables you to monitor the
food cooking without opening the lid.
5. It is normal for steam to appear on the window during the
first few minutes of use and this will gradually disappear during
cooking.
6. During frying hot steam may escape through the filters in the
lid.This is normal.
At the end of the cooking time
When cooking time is ended:

Filtering and changing the oil
1. Make sure the fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled down
before cleaning or storing your fryer.
2. The oil does not need to be changed after each use. On average, oil can be used for 8 to 12 fryings. You will need to change
it more often when frying fish or heavily battered foods.
3. We recommend filtering the oil if you see any food debris left
in the oil or on the bottom of the non-stick bowl.You can do
this as follows:
4. Remove the basket. Carefully pour the oil into another large
pot or saucepan.
5. Clean the frying basket and the non-stick bowl with hot water,
a little dishwashing liquid and a non abrasive pad or sponge.
6. Over time, the non-stick coating of the bowl may become
slightly darker or scratched due to usage.This is normal.
