IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
24. If the deep fryer and/or cord are
damaged, they must be repaired by
a professional service department.
Do not try to repair the unit yourself
or replace the damaged cord. This
requires special tools. Always contact
our Customer Service Department for
replacement parts.
25. The electrical component is equipped
with a safety heat switch, which
ensures that the heating element can
only function when the element is
correctly placed on the fryer.
26. The oil level must always be between
the MIN and MAX markings.
27. If the fryer has a removable pot, never
remove it while the deep fryer is on.
28. The cooking times are given as
guidelines only.
29. The oil must be filtered regularly and
changed after 8 to 12 uses.
30. If you use solid vegetable shortening,
cut it into pieces and melt it over slow
heat in a separate pot beforehand,
then slowly pour it into the deep fryer
pot. Never pour shortening directly
into the deep fryer pot or basket as
this will lead to deterioration of the
appliance.
31. Before you use the deep fryer it must
be filled with the required amount of
oil or fat. **Never use the deep fryer
without oil or fat because this could
damage the unit.

thermal protective device will switch
off the fryer automatically. This device
is a small reset button found either
on the underside of the electrical
component, or in the cord storage
compartment. It can be re-activated
by pushing the button in again with a
pointed object (e.g. a pen).
