Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the fryer on, 
pass on the instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till 
you know the fryer works.

important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1  The fryer must only be used by a responsible adult. Use and store 

it out of reach of children.

2  Don’t put the fryer in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, 

near water, or outdoors.

3  Don’t touch hot surfaces (including the outside of the fryer) – use 

oven gloves.

4  Don’t lean or reach over the fryer while the oil is hot.

5  Don’t carry or pass anything through the space over or near the 

fryer – if anything drops into the fryer, hot oil will splash out.

6  Don’t try to move or carry the fryer if it contains hot oil. Let it cool 

down fully first.

7  Steam will billow out as you open the lid, so stand well 

back before pressing the lid button 

E

.

8  Raise and lower the basket with the lid closed.

9  Don’t use the fryer without first filling with good quality cooking 

oil to between the MIN (2 litres) and MAX (2.5 litres) marks inside 
the bowl.

caution

 If the oil level is below the MIN mark, you may damage 

the fryer. If above the MAX mark, hot oil may escape, 
causing damage and injury.

10  Sit the fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, at least 75cm 

above floor level.

11  Leave a space of at least 5cm (2”) all round the fryer.
12  Position the fryer so that the basket handle doesn’t extend up to 

or over the edge of the work surface, where it might be caught 
accidentally when passing.

13  Don’t put the fryer beneath cupboards, shelves, or anything 

which could be damaged by the heat and steam it gives off. Keep 
it away from curtains and other combustible materials.
