4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

NECESSARY MEASURES TO AVOID 

THE RISK OF BURNS, FIRES AND 

OTHER DAMAGE TO PEOPLE OR 

PROPERTY.

•

  DO NOT MOVE THE APPLIANCE 

DURING USE OR WHILE THE OIL IS 

COOLING.

•

  Do not forget that the oil may 

deteriorate and even catch fire if heated 

for too long at a high temperature. If 

the oil were to catch fire, unplug the 

appliance immediately and place the lid 

on the pan. This will cut off the oxygen 

supply, thereby smothering the fire. For 

your own safety, never use water to put 

out the fire. 

•

  Unplug the appliance while not in use 

or before carrying out any maintenance 

or cleaning operation.

•

  To switch the appliance off, first turn 

the switch to its ‘0’ position and then 

unplug the cable from the mains.

•

  Do not leave the appliance unattended 

while in use. Switch the appliance off 

whenever you leave the room, even if it 

is only for a brief moment. 

•

  Let the oil cool before cleaning and 

storing the appliance. 

•

  Do not use the appliance if the power 

cable or plug are damaged, or in 

the event of breakdown or improper 

functioning. Regularly check the power 

cable for damage.

•

  The user should never try to replace 

the appliance’s cable. If the cable were 

to become damaged or need replacing, 

take the appliance to a Technical 

Assistance Service authorised by the 

manufacturer for examination, repair or 

adjustment.

•

  Do not let the cable hang over the edge 

of the table or worktop, or come into 

contact with hot surfaces.

•

  Never pull on the cable to unplug the 

appliance. 

•

  Do not leave the appliance on or near 

a gas burner or electric hotplate, 

or inside or near a hot oven or a 

microwave oven.

•

  Never use the appliance outside or 

expose it to the elements (rain, sun, 

frost, etc.). 

•

  We recommend that you use 

vegetable oil suitable for frying at high 

temperatures. You can also use liquid 

or solid fat. If you use solid fat, take the 

necessary precautions to prevent the 

element from overheating (see ‘Using 

with solid fat’).

•

  Do not use the fryer with too little oil/fat 

or with no oil/fat.  The oil/fat level should 

be between the minimum and maximum 

marks indicated on the pan 

(6)

. Before 

switching the fryer on, make sure the oil 

level is correct.

Safety

•

  This deep fat fryer is equipped with a 

thermal safety device that will switch off 

the appliance in case of overheating. If 

the device cuts off the current, proceed 

as follows:

•    Unplug the fryer and wait for the oil or 

fat to cool down.

•

  When you decide to dispose of the 

appliance definitively, unplug it and 

render it unserviceable by cutting the 

power cable, for example.

by physically, sensorially or mentally 

handicapped people or people without

•   Children should be watched to ensure 

they do not play with the appliance.

•  Appliances are not intended to be 

operated by means of an external timer 

or separate remote-control system.

•  To protect against electric shocks, do 

not submerge the control panel and 

element in water or hold them under a 

running tap.

•  This appliance is not designed for use 

with an external timer or a separate 

remote control system.

•   To prevent electric shock, do not 

submerge the cable, plug or fryer in 

water or in any other liquid.
