Safety warnings

• As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim to

cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common
sense should be applied when operating your fryer, particularly in
the vicinity of young children.

• Before use check that the voltage power supply corresponds to

the one shown on the appliance data plate.

• Only connect the appliance to electrical sockets which have a

minimum load of 10A and which are properly earthed. (If the
socket and the plug on the appliance should prove incompatible,
get a professionally qualified technician to replace the socket with
a more suitable one).

• Do not place the appliance near heat sources.
• Do not immerse the deep fryer in water. The infiltration of water

may cause electric shocks.

• The appliance is hot when it is in use. DO NOT LEAVE IT WITH-

IN THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

• Hot oil can cause serious burns. Do not move the deep fryer

when the oil is hot.

• Never touch the viewing window when frying as it becomes very

hot.

• To move the appliance, use the special lifting handles. (Never lift

by the basket handle).

• The deep fryer must only be switched on after it has been filled

with oil or fat. If it is heated while empty, a thermal safety device
comes into operation which stops it from working. In this case it
is necessary to contact our nearest authorised service centre to
replace the device.

• If the deep fryer leaks oil, contact the technical service centre or

staff authorised by the Company.

• Wash the following carefully with hot water and washing up liq-

uid before using the deep fryer for the first time: the fryer bowl,
the basket and the lid (remove filters).Also flush through the oil
drain tube with hot water and washing up liquid, rinse with
hot water, then dry carefully when this has been completed.

• The materials and objects likely to come into contact with food-

stuffs conform to EEC Directive.

• The drainage pipe must always be closed and placed in its com-

partment while the appliance is in use.

• Using the appliance for the first time may result in minimal

smoke. This is normal and disappears in few minutes. The room
must be ventilated.

• Children or infirm persons should not be allowed to use this

product unsupervised.

• Children should not be allowed to play with this appliance.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the worksurface

where it may be grabbed by children or become entangled with
the user. Do not use with an extension cord.

• If it is necessary to replace the power cable, contact a service

centre approved by the manufacturer.
