Danger Never immerse the control panel with the heating element attached to it in water nor rinse it under the tap. Warning Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance. Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord or the appliance itself is damaged. If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep the mains cord 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 stands. Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket. During frying, hot steam is released through the filter. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam. Also be careful of hot steam when you remove the lid. Caution Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or repair. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself, otherwise the guarantee becomes invalid. Place the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface. Do not touch the viewing window, as it becomes hot during frying. - - - EnglisH - 7 - - This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for professional or semi-professional purposes or if it is not used according to the instructions in the user manual, the guarantee becomes invalid and Philips refuses any liability for 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 175°C (to minimise the production of acrylamide). Prevent water and/or ice from coming into contact with oil or fat, as this causes heavy spattering or violent bubbling of the oil or fat. To achieve this, remove all excess ice from frozen ingredients before you fry them and dry ingredients thoroughly before you fry them. Do not overfill the basket. After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly before you put oil or fat in the fryer. Do not fry Asian rice cakes (or similar types of food) in this appliance. This might cause heavy spattering or violent bubbling of the oil or fat. Make sure the fryer is always filled with oil or fat to a level between the `MIN' and `MAX' indications on the inside of the inner bowl to prevent either overflowing or overheating. Do not switch on the appliance before you have filled it with oil or fat, as this can damage the appliance. electromagnetic fields (eMF) This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today.

Donotswitchontheappliancebeforeyouhavefilleditwithoilorfat. Oil and fat Nevermixdifferenttypesofoilorfatandneveraddfreshoilorfattousedoilorfat. We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. Preferably use vegetable oil or fat that is rich in unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunflower oil. Only use types of oil or fat that are suitable for deep frying and that contain an antifoam agent. You can find this information on the package or label of the oil or fat. Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, it is important that you change the oil or fat regularly (after 10-12 times). Always change the oil or fat if it starts to foam when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste or if it turns dark and/or syrupy. solid fat You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged. 8 EnglisH 1 Ifyouwanttousenewblocksoffat,meltthemslowlyoveralowheatinanormalpan.
