Important
• Read the instructions for use and look at the illustrations before you start using the
appliance.
• Check if the voltage indicated on the type plate of the fryer corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home.
• Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
• Clean the separate parts of the fryer thoroughly before you use the appliance for
the first time (see ‘Cleaning’).
• Never immerse the control panel with the heating element in water nor rinse these
parts under the tap.
• Make sure all parts are completely dry before you fill the fryer with oil or liquid fat.
• We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. You can also use solid frying fat,
but in that case you will have to take extra precautions to prevent the fat from
spattering and the heating element from overheating (see ‘Using solid fat’ and
‘Tips’).
• Do not switch the appliance on until you have filled it with oil or liquid fat.
• Only use types of oil or fat that contain an antifoam agent and that are suitable for
deep frying. You can find this information on the package or label.
• Make sure the fryer is at least filled to a level between the two indication marks on
the inside of the inner pot. Always check the oil or fat level before you switch the
appliance on.
• A thermal safety cut-out will switch the appliance off if it overheats (see ‘Safety’).
• In these instructions for use you will find the maximum amounts of food to be fried
at one time. Do not exceed these amounts (see ‘Tables’).
• During frying, hot steam is released through the filter. Keep your hands and face at
a safe distance from the steam. You should also be careful of the hot steam when
you open the lid.
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of children when you use it and do not let the
mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop on which the appliance is
standing.
• After you have used the appliance, set the temperature control to the lowest
setting (turn it completely to the left). Remove the plug from the wall socket and
let the oil or fat cool down. Do not move the fryer until it has cooled down
sufficiently.
• If parts of this appliance are damaged, they may only be replaced by Philips or a
service centre authorised by Philips, since repair requires special tools and/or parts.
• Save these instructions for use for future reference.
