This appliance will become very hot
when in use, keep it away from children
and people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities.
• In the event of burns and/or scalds
be sure to cool the affected area

get medical assistance.
•
Cooking oil can catch fire when
overheated. In this event cover the
appliance with a fire-proof blanket or
put the lids back on to kill the fire.
Under no circumstances should
you pour water onto the hot oil!
Water and oil don’t mix and the
water will evaporate explosively
which is potentially lethal.
•
This appliance is heavy when full of
oil, never attempt to move it unless
it has been completely cooled down.
The appliance should be left to cool
for a minimum of 3 hours after having
been switched off prior to moving
or storage. Always use the carrying
handles when moving the appliance.
•
Never leave the appliance
unattended when in use.
•
Never lean over the appliance while it is
in use, steam will pass through the filter
and around the edges of the lid pos-
sibly causing severe burns to the face.
•
Never operate the appliance if there is
visible damage to the power cord, plug
or any other component or if it has mal-
functioned in any way. Never attempt
to repair the appliance and/or compo-
nent parts yourself, always consult a
