After Cooking; Care And Maintenance - Continental Platinum CP43219 Guia De Inicio Rapido

Cleaning
•Unplug the appliance when cleaning.
•Clean the outside of the fryer and the lid with a damp cloth.
•Never use abrasive pads or alcohol.
•Detach the handle from the basket.
•Wash the basket with hot water or washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry carefully.
•Never immerse the appliance in water or wash it directly by water.
Tips
1.Oils and fats
•Always use oil and fats which can withstand high temperature.
•Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
•Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown after cooking.
2.Preparing the food
•Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry: this will avoid overflowing
and make the oil or fat last longer.
•When preparing potato-based food (chips, crisps, etc.), cut them up and then wash
them in cold water to remove the starch. Dry them carefully. This will stop them
sticking together.
3.Cooking
•Do not overfill the basket. This will cause the oil temperature dropping and make
the food greasy.
•Do not keep the oil at high temperature for long periods. This will make it lose its
properties.
•Set the temperature controller to the lowest temperature while waiting between two
batches.
•Do not leave the cooked food in the basket in the draining position too long. The
vapors could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
•Frozen food can be cooked in the basket without being defrosted.

4.After cooking

•Oil or fat can be left in the fryer with its basket and lid on. It will not lose its
properties.
•Change the fat or oil regularly, after approximately 20 batches.
