Abstract

A filter group (125, 325) for use in a deep fat fryer (100) is proposed. The filter group comprises a porous material filter envelope (240) for filtering cooking oil passing therethrough, and a spacer grid (245) adapted to be longitudinally fitted into the filter envelope for supporting it from inside, the filter envelope comprising an open end (250) for allowing fitting/unfitting of the spacer grid. The filter group further comprises an extraction pipe (255) for allowing extraction of filtered cooking oil from inside the filter envelope, said extraction pipe passing through a hole (270) of the filter envelope and being transversally connected to the spacer grid. In the solution according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the extraction pipe is transversally connected to a peripheral portion of the spacer grid. The filter envelope comprises a longitudinal slit (265) extending between said open end and said hole for allowing the transversally-connected extraction pipe to be longitudinally guided therethrough while the spacer grid is being fitted into/unfitted from the filter envelope, whereby said fitting/unfitting of the spacer grid is allowed without disconnection of it from the extraction pipe.
