Important

• Read these instructions in conjunction with the illustrations (pages 3 and 54) 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 recommended 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 sufficient oil/fat in the fryer.
• Do not exceed the maximum quantities indicated in the table. Never fill the basket higher
than up to 3 ⁄ .

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.
• The inside wall of your fryer has a non-stick coating. To avoid damaging the coating, do not
touch with metal objects. Place and remove the frying basket carefully.
Do not use scouring cleaning agents and products such as (fluid) abrasive, scourer,
cleaning pad, wire wool or steel wool.
• Keep these instructions for future reference.

Prior to first use

- Wash the frying basket in hot soapy water.
- Pour some hot soapy water into the fryer and
wash the inner side thoroughly.

Deep fat frying

- Press the release button (B). The lid will open
automatically (fig. 2).
- When you wish to use new frying fat (instead of
oil), first set the frying basket in the highest

pan (fig. 4).
You can put the basket back into the pan as
soon as all the fat has melted.
