Important

•Read these instructions in conjunction with the illustrations (page 3) before using the appliance.

•Before plugging the appliance in, check if the voltage indicated at the bottom of the appliance is the same as the mains voltage in your home.

•Never immerse the deep fat fryer in water.

•Clean the various parts with a damp cloth prior to use. Ensure that they are thoroughly dry before filling the deep fat fryer with oil or fat.

•Do not switch on the deep fat frying pan until you have filled it with oil or fat. When melting fat: initially select 160 °C / 320 °F and do not select a higher temperature until the fat is completely melted. Melt the pieces of fat on the bottom of the fryer and not in the frying basket.

•Only use oils and fats which are recom- mended for deep fat frying. This information can be found on the packing of these oils/fats.

•Always fill with oil or fat to the level between the measure indications MIN and MAX.

Before you start frying, always check if there is still sufficiently oil/fat in the fryer.

•Do not exceed the maximum quantities indicated in the table. Never fill the basket higher than up to 3⁄4.

If the basket is overfilled, hot fat/oil may flow over the fryer ridge.

•During the process hot steam comes through the filter in the lid. Keep your hands and face away from this steam.

•Keep the deep fat fryer out of the reach of children at all times especially when in use.

•Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or sink.

•Remove the plug from the mains socket after use, so that the oil or fat can cool down. Do not move the fryer until it has cooled sufficiently.

•If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by Philips or their service representative, as special tools and/or parts are required.

•Keep these instructions for future reference.
