Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future
reference.
Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before
you connect the appliance.
Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by
Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or
repair. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself, otherwise your guarantee will
become invalid.
Clean the separate parts of the fryer thoroughly before using the appliance for the first time
(see chapter 'Cleaning'). Make sure all parts are completely dry before you fill the fryer with
oil or liquid fat.
Never immerse the control panel with the heating element attached to it in water nor rinse
it under the tap.
Always unplug the appliance after use. Do not move the fryer until it has cooled down
sufficiently.
Do not switch the appliance on before you have filled it with oil or fat. Make sure the fryer is
always filled to a level between the two indication marks on the inside of the inner bowl.
During frying, hot steam is released through the filter. Keep your hands and face at a safe
distance from the steam.You should also be careful of the hot steam when you open the lid.
Keep the appliance 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 is standing.
This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for
(semi-)professional purposes or if it is used in a way that is not in accordance with the
instructions for use, the guarantee will become invalid and Philips will not accept liability for
any 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 175cC (to
minimise the production of acrylamide).
Safety features
Safety cut-out
This appliance is equipped with a safety cut-out that switches the appliance off if it overheats.This
may happen if there is not enough oil or fat in the fryer or if blocks of solid fat are being melted in
the fryer, which will prevent the heating element from being able to give off its heat.
Take the following measures if the fryer doesn't work anymore:
1
Let the oil or fat cool down.This will take approx. 60 minutes.
2
Carefully press the reset button at the back of the control panel with a small screwdriver
(fig. 1).
Now the appliance is ready for use again.
Safety switch
The safety switch in the control panel ensures that the heating element can only be switched on if
the control panel has been assembled correctly.
Always make sure the control panel is in the right position ('click') (fig. 2).
