General Safety instructions
• This appliance is for household use only and
nOt
intended for use in moving vehicles. Do
not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Any use of accessories,
attachments or spare parts that are not recommended by the manufacturer or damaged in any
way may result in damage and/or injuries to persons.
• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation—especially the power cord
(e.g. check for distortion, discolouration, cracks, corroded pins of the power plug). Do
not operate the appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged,
to avoid risk of fire, electric shock or any other injuries to persons and/or damage. The
appliance is likely to be damaged if the appliance has been subject to inadmissible strain
(e.g. overheating, mechanical or electric shock), or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed
or melted parts, or distortions, or if the appliance is not working properly. In this case, immedi-
ately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accessories)
to an authorized service centre for examination and repair.
• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry and suitable large table or
counter that is resistant against water, fat, and heat.
• When heating oil, there is always a risk that
vapours of hot oil could catch fire
.
Always keep any type of source of ignition (e.g. burning cigarettes, candles, sparks) in ap-
propriate distance from the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire and damage. If
the oil catches fire,
iMMeDiately
unplug the appliance and close the lid to extinguish the
fire.
DO nOt attempt to extinguish burning oil with water!
Water will evaporate
explosively in hot oil, causing additional hazards by hot splashes of burning oil. Use a powder
extinguisher or fire blanket. Call the fire brigade!
• Always keep the appliance and the table or counter clean and dry and wipe off spilled
liquids immediately. Do not place any clothes or tissue or other objects under or on the appli-
ance during operation, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock and overheating. Do not place the
appliance over a power cord or any heat-, fat- or moisture-sensitive surfaces, or near the edge
of the table or counter, or on wet or inclined surfaces.
• The appliance could move considerably during operation of the centrifuge. During operati
-
on keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least 30 cm on each side to the edge
of the working space and furniture, walls, boards, other appliances, curtains, and any delicate
objects. Leave at least 1 m of free space above the appliance. Exclusively use the appliance
for domestic use and for processing food that is fit for comsumption. Immediately unplug the
appliance, if there is any kind of malfunction or problem (e.g. the motor of the centrifuge gets
stuck, liquid running out, overheating).
• To avoid risk of fire: do not fill any inflammable liquids into the appliance. Do not place any
inflammable objects or inflammable liquids (e.g. high-proof alcoholic drinks) directly beneath
the appliance during operation.
• This appliance is
nOt
intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced phy-
sical, 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 must always be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance or any parts of the appliance or the packaging.
Always
keep the appliance where it is dry, frost-free, and clean, and where young children cannot
reach it. Do not leave the appliance or any part of it unattended, when in reach of young
children.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (e.g. burner, heater or
oven). Do not use any parts of the appliance with any other device or for any other purpose.
Before operation, always ensure that the appliance is assembled completely
and correctly according to the instructions in this booklet.
Do not handle the appli-
ance or any part of it with violence.
• Do not insert your fingers or any foreign objects (e.g. clothes, cooking utensils) in the interior
of the appliance (oil container or basket), with the appliance connected to the power supply.
Do not use any hard, sharp or edged objects (e.g. knives, forks) with the appliance. For ex-
ample, use barbecue tongs to take out your food.
• It is best to close the lid securely before operation. Especially when lowering fresh, moisten
food into the hot oil, the oil could splash and froth vigorously and large amounts of hot steam
could escape. During operation and shortly thereafter, hot steam could escape from the filter
opening and under the lid even with the lid securely closed. Do not hold any parts of your
body or any delicate objects over the appliance during operation. Also, when opening the lid,
always ensure not to get scalded by splashes and steam.
• Do not overfill the oil container. Otherwise, the centrifuge cannot work properly and could
get damaged. Additionally, liquids could run out. Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately.
If liquids run out or are spilled on the housing, immediately unplug the appliance. However,
do not operate the appliance without liquid. Always at least fill to the MIN filling level mark to
avoid overheating.
• During operation and shortly thereafter, hot steam could escape from under the lid. Additio
-
nally, the appliance and especially the lid will become very hot. Only touch the appliance and
all its parts by the handles. Beware of hot steam and condensate when opening the lid.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended, when it is connected to the power supply. Always
switch off (temperature dial to MIN, SPIN timer to 0) then unplug the appliance, before mo-
ving, or cleaning the appliance, or when the appliance is not in use. Always hold the housing
at both sides near the bottom for moving or lifting.
Do not hold the appliance at the lid,
power cord, or handle of the control unit for moving the appliance.
Do not place
any hard and/or heavy objects on the appliance or any part of it.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads), or any corro
-
sive chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning. Do not immerse the control unit, housing or power
cord in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the control unit, housing,
or on the power cord to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.
Do not place the control
unit, housing or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.
