Protection of the environment

• Your equipment has been designed to work for many years. However, when finally you

decide to replace your deep fryer, do not forget to think of what you can do to help to
protect the environment by disposing of it at your local waste disposal centre.

away from foods
tend to burn and
cause the fat to
change more

risking igniting over
time.
