Important
Read the instructions for use and look at the illustrations before
you start using the appliance.
This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance
is used improperly or for (semi) professional purposes or if it is
used in a way that is not in accordance with the instructions for
use, the guarantee will become invalid and Philips will not accept
liability for any damage caused.
Do not fry rice cakes (or comparable types of food) in this
appliance as this might cause heavy spattering/explosions of oil.
Make sure that frozen ingredients are (almost) defrosted before
frying.
Dab the food to be fried until it is properly dry and carefully shake
the ice off frozen food before you start frying.
Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.
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 housing, which contains electrical components
and the heating element, in water nor rinse this part 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 fat. It is possible to use
solid frying fat, but in that case extra precautions are necessary to
prevent the fat from spattering (see 'Using solid fat' and 'Tips').
Only use types of oil or fat that are suitable for deep-frying and
that contain an antifoam agent.You can find this information on the
package or label of the oil or fat.
Do not switch the appliance on before you have filled it with oil or
fat.
Make sure the fryer is always filled to a level between the two
indication marks on the inside of the inner pot.
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 and
recommended amounts of food to be fried at one time. For the
best frying results we advise you to not exceed the recommended
amounts (see 'Table').
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.
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.
