- Always place the fryer on a stable surface and keep flammable materials away.

- Before you use the fryer it must be filled with the required amount of fat or oil. Never use the fryer without
oil or fat as this will break the appliance.
- Never move the appliance during use. The oil becomes hot and you can burn yourself. Wait until the oil has
cooled down before moving the fryer.

- The electrical part comes complete with a safety switch which ensures that the heating element can only
operate when the element is correctly positioned in the pan.
