IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs or fryer in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10.Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11.Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12.Always attach plug to appliance first (depending on model), then plug cord in the wall outlet. To disconnect,
turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13.Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14.Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
15.Be sure handles are properly assembled to basket and locked in place. See detailed assembly instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
16.Before use, check that your local mains voltage corresponds with the specifications shown on the appliance
nameplate located under the appliance.
17.Only connect the appliance to electrical sockets which have a minimum load of 15A. If the sockets and the
plug on the appliance should prove incompatible, get a professionally qualified technician to replace the
socket with a more suitable one.
18.This electrical equipment operates at high temperatures which may cause burns. Do not touch the filter,
window, metal walls (depending on model), other apparent metal parts.
19.To ensure safe operation, oversized foods must not be inserted into the appliance.
20.Ensure that the lid and tank are completely dry after washing and before use.
21.Never immerse the fryer basket into the hot oil - or drain it - without the fryer lid in place.
22.The oil level must always be between the Min. and Max. markings.
23.Do not overload the basket. For safety reasons never exceed the maximum quantity.
24.Never operate your fryer without any oil.
25.The cooking times are given as guidelines only.
26.The oil must be filtered regularly and changed after 8 to 12 uses.
27.Do not mix different types of oil.
28.If you use solid vegetable shortening, cut it into pieces and melt it over low heat in a separate pot beforehand,
then slowly pour it into the deep fryer pot. Never put solid shortening directly into the deep fryer pot or basket,
as his will lead to deterioration of the appliance.
29.If the fryer has a removable pot, never remove it while the deep fryer is on.
30.If the fryer has a removable anti-odor filter, change it after every 10 - 15 uses (foam filter) or after 30 - 40
uses (cartridge with saturation indicator), or 80 uses (carbon filter). Some models are equipped with a
permanent metallic filter, which does not need to be changed.
31.If you have any problems, contact the authorized after-sales service center or the internet address
