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.
• This appliance should not be used
by physically, sensorially or mentally
handicapped people or people without
experience or knowledge of it (including
children), unless they are supervised or
instructed in the use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
• 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.
