Breville recommends safety first
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with you, our valued
customer foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical
appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

Read all instructions before operating this appliance and

save for future reference

•Always turn the appliance off, first turn off at the
power outlet and then unplug cord when not in use
before attempting to move the appliance, before
cleaning or storing.
•Do not immerse the appliance controller, supply
cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
•Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
•Always use the appliance on a dry, level surface.
•Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces, become
knotted or hang from the edge of benchtops.
•Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.
•This appliance is for household use only. Do not use
this appliance for other than its intended use. Do not
use in moving vehicles or boats. Do not use outdoors.
•Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and actual
appliance for any damage. If found damaged in any
way, immediately cease use of the appliance and
return the entire appliance to the nearest
authorised Breville Service Centre for examination,
replacement or repair.
•Keep the unit clear of walls, curtains and other heat
sensitive materials (minimum distance 200mm).
Do not place unit under shelving or flammable
materials when in use.
•Always follow the maximum and minimum
quantities of oil stated in the instructions
and recipes.
•Do not exceed the maximum fill level (3 litres).
Never overfill the bowl with oil.
•Extreme caution must be used when the appliance
is filled with hot oil. Always allow the appliance to
cool before removing the oil.
•Do not move the deep fryer during cooking or
whilst hot.
•When deep frying, ensure no water comes in contact
with hot oil as this will cause splattering. Ensure that
the deep fryer is dry before adding any oil.
•Never lean over the deep fryer when lifting the lid.
Excess trapped steam created during the cooking
process will be released when the lid is opened.
•Never pour oil out of the deep fryer when either
the unit or oil is hot. Allow both the unit and
contents to cool completely before removing oil.
•It is not recommended to add extra oil when hot as
splashing may occur.
•Always ensure the heater element and controller
are correctly positioned onto the bowl assembly
and filled to min/max before connecting to a
power outlet.
•Do not use the deep fryer on metal surfaces, for
example, a sink drain board.
•At no time should the deep fryer be left
unattended when in use.
•Do not place anything on top of the deep fryer when
the lid is closed, when in use and when stored.
•The installation of a residual current device
(safety switch) is recommended to provide
additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. It is advisable that a safety switch
with a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA be installed in the electrical circuit
supplying the appliance. See your electrician for
professional advice.
