Important
Read these instructions in conjunction
with the illustrations (page 3) before
using the appliance.
Before plugging the appliance in, check
if the voltage indicated at the bottom of
the appliance is the same as the mains
voltage in your home.
Never immerse the deep fat fryer in
water.
Clean the various parts with a damp
cloth prior to use. Ensure that they are
thoroughly dry before filling the deep fat
fryer with oil or fat.
Do not switch on the deep fat frying pan
until you have filled it with oil or fat.
When melting fat: initially select 160 °C /
320 °F and do not select a higher
temperature until the fat is completely
melted. Melt the pieces of fat on the
bottom of the fryer and not in the frying
basket.
Only use oils and fats which are recom-
mended for deep fat frying. This
information can be found on the packing
of these oils/fats.
Always fill with oil or fat to the level
between the measure indications MIN
and MAX.
Before you start frying, always check if
there is still sufficiently oil/fat in the fryer.
Do not exceed the maximum quantities
indicated in the table. Never fill the
basket higher than up to

If the basket is overfilled, hot fat/oil may
flow over the fryer ridge.
During the process hot steam comes
through the filter in the lid. Keep your
hands and face away from this steam.
Keep the deep fat fryer out of the reach
of children at all times especially when
in use.
Do not let the mains cord hang over the
edge of the table or sink.
Remove the plug from the mains socket
after use, so that the oil or fat can cool
down. Do not move the fryer until it has
cooled sufficiently.
If the mains cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must only be replaced by
Philips or their service representative,
as special tools and/or parts are
required.
Keep these instructions for future
reference.
