assembly
•
Place the removable tank in the appliance.
•
Place the filter on the bottom of the
removable tank.
•
Fit the electric operating panel on the

•
Place the appliance on a stable and level
surface.
DEEP-FRY SAFELY!
•
Always unplug the appliance when it is not in
use or when you are servicing the appliance.
•
The plastic part of the handle can melt if it
comes into contact with hot oil or liquid
fat. Do not, therefore, immerse the handle
of the basket in hot oil or liquid fat. If
this does happen, the oil or liquid fat must
immediately be replaced.
•
Beware of spatters. Prevent spatters. See
further down in this document.
•
Beware of hot parts. The accessible surfaces
can get hot when the deep fryer is in use.
•
Make sure your hands are dry before you
touch the appliance.
9
•
Do not move the appliance when the power is
on, when the housing is still hot or when the
oil or liquid fat is still hot.
•
Clean the appliance and accessories. See
"Cleaning and servicing".
SPATTERS
The deep fryer has a 'cold zone'. This zone is
located in the bottom of the appliance. The 'cold
zone' is a zone into which the larger bits of food
sink. The lower temperature in this zone prevents
the bits of food from burning.
Deep fryers with a 'cold zone' are sensitive to
water, because the heating element is immersed
in oil or liquid fat. There are various ways in
which water can come into contact with the oil or
liquid fat:
•
A lot of food naturally contains water. This
applies especially to potatoes.
•
Condensation from hot steam.
•
Frozen food can contain ice particles.
•
The food was not dried properly after it was
washed.
•
The removable tank was not properly dried
after it was cleaned.
•
The wrong type of oil or liquid fat is used. See
General Tips.
If water comes into contact with hot oil or liquid
fat, there could be excessive spattering, foaming
or even overflowing.
To prevent this as far as possible, a special
safety filter was developed to further decrease
the temperature of the 'cold zone' resulting in
greater distribution of the water particles.
•
Try as far as possible to prevent water from
coming into contact with the hot oil or liquid
fat as a result of one of the above mentioned
causes.
•
Change the oil or liquid fat regularly.
•
Clean the safety filter regularly. Make sure
that the openings in the safety filter are not
obstructed.
USE
•
First fully unfold the handle of the basket
outwards until it locks into place. Make sure
that, when folded, the handle does not hang
in the oil or fat, as this could damage the
plastic handle.
•
Fill the removable tank with oil or liquid fat.
Make sure that the level of the oil or liquid
fat is between the minimum and maximum
markings on the tank.
