Tricity Bendix TDF10 Instruction Manual page 2

Please follow all the precautions listed below
for safety and to reduce the risk of fire, injury or
electrical shock.
Read all the instructions and retain them. If you pass the
fryer on to a third party, include these instructions
During and after use parts of the appliance are HOT. Do not
touch areas such as the metal surface of the frying well until
they are cool.
Unplug the fryer from the mains after use and allow it to cool
before handling or cleaning any parts.
The oil or fat in the deep fryer will stay hot for some time
after use. Do not move the fryer until it is completely cool. To
lift the appliance, use the handle grips at the sides.
Do not touch hot surfaces, use oven gloves.
Do not pour oil out of the deep fryer when the oil and the ap-
pliance are hot. Allow them to cool first. This can take at least
3 hours depending on ambient and oil temperatures.
Never connect the deep fryer to the electricity supply with-
out placing the oil in the tank.
Never operate the fryer when the oil in the tank is above
the maximum or below the minimum mark. The minimum
amount of oil is 3 litres. The maximum is 4 litres.
Do not fully immerse the element of the deep fryer in
water or liquids. Follow the cleaning instructions fully!
Do not place the deep fryer on or near a hot gas or electric
burner or near a heated oven or allow it to touch curtains,
wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels or other flammable ma-
terials during use.
Ensure there is ample clearance around and above the appli-
ance so you can work safely.
Use the deep fryer on stable heat-resistant surfaces.
Do not exposed the fryer to direct sunlight.
Operate the fryer with the controls facing you. Do not reach
across the appliance while it is operating or when it is hot.
Never leave the deep fryer unattended when it is connected
to the electricity supply.
Make sure that the power cable does not touch any hot sur-
face or overhang a table edge.
Do not use the deep fryer outdoors.
Do not place the fryer under any overhead cupboards when
in use.
Do not use attachments or accessories not recommended by
the manufacturer.
Do not use the deep fryer with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance, or frying basket has malfunctioned or is
damaged. Seek expert advice.
Do not use extension leads with kitchen equipment - they
increase the risk of accidents.
If you are using solid fat, melt this gently in a separate pan
and pour it into the oil tank before switching on. Do not melt
solid fat in the fryer by placing it in the basket or you may
damage the appliance.
Renew cooking oil regularly. Used oil may contain contami-
nants, these may lower smoking temperatures and cause
excess foaming and spattering.
Always dry food before frying as moist foods cause excess
foaming and spattering. Even small amounts of water may
cause the oil to spatter.
Never overload the frying basket. If too much food is fried
at the same time, the food will not get crisp and may cause
excess foaming and spattering.
After completion of frying permit the food to drain before
removing the basket.
