Safety features
• The appliance has a contact switch inside which
automatically switches off the heat when the
cooking basket is removed and switches it back
on when the cooking basket is inserted again.
The appliance does not work without the cook-
ing basket inserted.
• The appliance is protected from overheating.
It automatically switches off when the built-in
temperature monitor malfunctions. The appli-
ance will no longer work. Disconnect the mains
plug, leave the appliance to cool down and con-
tact the customer care service or a specialist
workshop to have the appliance repaired.
• The appliance is equipped with a Cool-Touch
surface meaning that its outside parts do
not become excessively hot when in use,
eliminating the risk of burns when touched.
About acrylamide
Acrylamide is produced during processes involv-
ing intense heat (baking, frying, deep-frying,
grilling, toasting etc.), particularly in foods
containing starch.
At the present time, it is not possible to say
conclusively in what form acrylamide is harmful
to the human organism.
To be on the safe side you should not cook
your food for too long, as intense browning
may also lead to an increased risk.
A rule of thumb is: “Golden, not charred”. As
research is set to continue beyond the issuing
of these operating instructions, keep an eye
on this subject in the press.
It is also well documented on the Internet.
