For your safety, this appliance complies with the safety regulations
and directives in effect at the time of manufacture (Low-voltage
Directive, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Food Contact Materials
Regulations, Environment…).
Check that the power supply voltage corresponds to that shown on
the appliance (alternating current).
Given the diverse standards in effect, if the appliance is used in a
country other than that in which it is purchased, have it checked by
an approved Service Centre.

and the guarantee does not apply.
Remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels or
stickers from your deep fryer before use. Be sure to also remove any
materials from underneath the removable bowl (depending on
model).
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.
For your own safety, use only accessories and spare parts which are
suitable for your appliance.
Connecting to the power supply
• 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.
• For models with removable cord, only the original power cord can
be used.
• Do not leave the cord hanging. The power cord must never be in
close proximity to or in contact with the hot parts of your
appliance, close to a source of heat or rest on sharp edges.
• 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
• This appliance is not designed to be used by people (including
children) with a physical, sensory or mental impairment, or
people without knowledge or experience, unless they are
supervised or given prior instructions concerning the use of the
appliance by someone responsible for their safety.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
• Use a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from any water
splashes.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• This electrical equipment operates at high temperatures which
may cause burns. Do not touch the hot parts of the appliance
(filter, window, metal walls (depending on model), other
apparent metal parts…).
• 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. Unplug the appliance. 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).
• Do not store your deep fryer outside. Store it in a dry and well
ventilated area.
• It is essential that you wait until the oil has cooled down before
storing the fryer.
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. Never add water to the oil or fat.
• Do not overfill the basket, never exceed the maximum capacity.
• If you have a removable anti-odour filter, change it after every 10
- 15 uses (foam filter) or after 30 - 40 uses (cartridge with
saturation indicator), or 80 uses (carbon filter). Some models are
equipped with a permanent metallic filter, which does not need
to be changed.
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 regularly.
• 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).
