Important

Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.

Danger

- Never immerse the housing, which contains electrical components and the heating element, in

water nor rinse it under the tap.

Warning

- Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before

you connect the appliance.

- Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord or the appliance itself is damaged.

- If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by

Philips or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.

- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety.

- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- Keep the mains cord out of the reach of children. Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge

of the table or worktop on which the appliance stands.

- Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.

- During frying, hot steam is released through the lter. Keep your hands and face at a safe

distance from the steam. Also be careful of the hot steam when you open the lid.

- This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or a separate

remote control system.

ENGLISH

Caution

- Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or repair.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself, otherwise the guarantee becomes invalid.

- Place the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface.

- Do not touch the viewing window, as it becomes hot during frying.

- This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for

professional or semi-professional purposes or if it is not used according to the instructions in

the user manual, the guarantee becomes invalid and Philips refuses any liability for damage

caused.

- Fry food golden-yellow instead of dark or brown and remove burnt remnants. Do not fry

starchy foods, especially potato and cereal products, at a temperature above 175°C (to minimise

the production of acrylamide).

- Prevent water and/or ice from coming into contact with oil or fat, as this causes heavy spattering

or violent bubbling of the oil of fat. To achieve this, remove all excess ice from frozen ingredients

before you fry them and dry ingredients thoroughly before you fry them. Do not overll the

basket. After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly before you put oil or fat in the fryer.

- Do not fry Asian rice cakes (or similar types of food) in this appliance. This might cause heavy

spattering or violent bubbling of the oil or fat.

- Make sure the fryer is always lled with oil or fat to a level between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’

indications on the inside of the inner bowl to prevent either overowing or overheating.

- Do not switch on the appliance before you have lled it with oil or fat, as this can damage the

appliance.

Oil and fat

Nevermixdifferenttypesofoilorfatandneveraddfreshoilorfattousedoilorfat.

- We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. Preferably use vegetable oil or fat that is rich

in unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunower oil.

- Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you have to change the oil or

fat regularly (after 10-12 times).

- Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste

or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.

Solid fat

You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from

spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.

Certain types of food, particularly sh, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant avour. To neutralise the

taste of the oil or fat:
