◗
Fry food golden-yellow instead of dark or brown and remove burnt remnants! Do not fry
starchy foods, especially potato and cereal products, at a temperature above 175cC (to
minimise the production of acrylamide).
Safety features
Safety cut-out
This appliance is equipped with a safety cut-out that switches the appliance off if it overheats.This
may happen if there is not enough oil or fat in the fryer or if blocks of solid fat are being melted in
the fryer, which will prevent the heating element from being able to give off its heat.
◗
If the safety cut-out has switched the fryer off, the display on the control panel shows Error
2 or 3. Reset the fryer by pulling the plug out and let the oil or fat cool down. Put the plug in
the wall socket again and try to switch the fryer back on. If the appliance doesn't work
anymore, turn to your Philips dealer or a service centre authorised by Philips.
Safety switch
The safety switch in the control panel ensures that the heating element can only be switched on if
the control panel has been placed correctly.
◗
Always make sure that the control panel is correctly placed (you will hear a click) (fig. 1).
Cool zone
During frying, loose food particles collect on the bottom of the inner bowl. As the heating element
has been placed some distance above the bottom of the inner bowl and primarily heats the oil or
fat above it, the oil or fat between the bottom of the inner bowl and the heating element remains
relatively cool (cool zone).This prevents the food particles that end up in this zone from burning,
increasing the number of times you can re-use the oil or fat.
Preparing for use
1
Place the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface out of the reach of children.
If you want to place the fryer on top of the cooker, make sure the rings of the cooker have been
turned off and are cold.
2
Fill the dry fryer with oil, liquid fat or melted solid fat up to the top indication mark on the
inside of the inner bowl (see section 'Oil and fat' for instructions on how to use solid fat)
(fig. 2).

Oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or fat!
We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat, preferably vegetable oil or fat that is rich in
unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid).
It is possible to use solid frying fat, but in that case extra precautions are necessary to prevent the
fat from spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
