Read and follow the instructions for use. Keep them safe.
Connecting to the power supply
• Do not use the appliance if the appliance or the cord is damaged, if the appliance has fallen or shows visible
damage or does not work properly.
In the event of the above, the appliance must be sent to an approved Service Centre. Do not take the
appliance apart yourself.
• Always plug the appliance into an earthed socket.
• Do not use an extension lead. If you accept liability for doing so, only use an extension lead which is in good
condition, has an earthed plug and is suited to the power of the appliance.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised service centre or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any danger.
• Do not leave the cord hanging.
• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.
• Always unplug the appliance: immediately after use, when moving it, prior to any cleaning or maintenance.
Using
• Use a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from any water splashes.
• Never leave the appliance within reach of children or certain disabled persons without supervision.
• This electrical equipment operates at high temperatures which may cause burns. Do not touch the apparent
metal parts, filter or window….
• Do not switch on the appliance near to flammable materials (blinds, curtains….) or close to an external heat
source (gas stove, hot plate etc.).
• In the event of fire, never try to extinguish the flames with water. Close the lid. Smother the flames with a
damp cloth.
• Do not move the appliance when it is full of liquids or hot food.
• If you have a removable bowl, never take it out when the fryer is switched on.
• Never immerse the appliance or the electrical control unit in water!
• Before throwing away your appliance, the timer battery must be removed by an approved Service Centre
(depending on model).
Cooking
• Never plug in the deep fryer without oil or fat inside. The oil level must always be between the min and max
markers.
• If you use solid vegetable fat, cut it into pieces and melt it over a slow heat in a separate pan beforehand, then
slowly pour it into the deep fryer bowl. Never put solid fat directly into the deep fryer bowl or fryer basket as
this will lead to deterioration of the appliance.
• Do not mix different types of oil.
• Do not overfill the basket, never exceed the maximum capacity.
Recommendations
• Limit the cooking temperature to 170°C, especially for potatoes.
• Use the basket for chips.
• Control the cooking: Do not eat burnt food.
• Clean your oil after every use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it after every 8 to 12 uses.
• Eat a balanced and varied diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
• Store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
• For best results and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of chips to 1/2 basket per frying.
• For a larger quantity of food or potatoes, the temperature drops very fast just after having lowered the basket.
This lowers the oil temperature considerably and it never reaches above 175 C, even if the thermostat is set at
190 C. (=Stabilized Temperature before lowering).
