imPortant safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1.
To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse the power cord, plug, base unit or power
unit in water or any other liquid. Only the element assembly is intended to be immersed in oil.
2.
Do not use in a bathroom or near any source of water.
3.
Do not use outdoors.
4.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
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.
5.
This appliance is not a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with this
appliance.
6.

7.
Do not touch hot surfaces (including the outside of the fryer) – use oven mitts.
8.
Do not lean or reach over the fryer while the oil is hot.
9.

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.
14.
Sit the fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
15.
Leave a space of at least 100mm all round the fryer.

surface where it might be caught accidentally when passing.
17.
Do not place the fryer under cupboards, shelves or anything that might be damaged by heat or
steam.
18.
Do not use the fryer near or below any curtains or other combustible materials.
19.

Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and cannot be tripped over or caught.
21.
Do not leave the fryer unattended while plugged in. Always monitor when in use.
22.
Close the lid when cooking and when the oil is cooling.
