•This electrical equipment operates at high temperatures which may cause burns. Do not touch the apparent metal parts, filter or window….
•Do not switch on the appliance near to flammable materials (blinds, curtains….) or close to an external heat source (gas stove, hot plate etc.).
•In the event of fire, never try to extinguish the flames with water. Close the lid. Smother the flames with a damp cloth.

•Never immerse the appliance or the electrical control unit in water!
•Before throwing away your appliance, the timer battery must be removed and disposed of separately by an approved Service Centre (depending on model).
Cooking
•Never plug in the deep fryer without oil or fat inside. The oil level must always be between the min and max markers.
•If you use solid vegetable fat, cut it into pieces and melt it over a slow heat in a separate pan beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer bowl. Never put solid fat directly into the deep fryer bowl or fryer basket as this will lead to incorrect operation of the appliance.
•Do not mix different types of oil.
•Do not overfill the basket, never exceed the maximum capacity.
Recommendations
•Limit the cooking temperature to 190°C, especially for potatoes.
•Use the basket for chips.
•Control the cooking: Do not eat burnt food.
•Clean your oil after every use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it after every 8 to 12 uses.
•Eat a balanced and varied diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
•Store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
•For best results and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of chips to 1/2 basket per frying.
•For a larger quantity of food or potatoes, the temperature drops very fast just after having lowered the basket. This lowers the oil temperature considerably and it is normal for the temperature to take a long time to return to 190° C.
