standards in force, if the appliance is
used in a country other than that in
which it is purchased, get it checked by
an approved service agent.
•
Use a stable work surface, away from
water splashes.
•
Do not place the appliance near a
source of heat (the plastic insulating

•
Do not fill beyond the maximum level
for oil.
•
Do not overload the frying basket, es-
pecially with frozen food, to avoid any

•
When an electrical heating appliance
is used, high temperatures are produ-
ced which could cause burns. Despite
the high level of thermal protection of
the body of the appliance, do not
touch any visible metal parts of the
bowl.
•
The metal handles of the bowl must
only be held once the appliance has
completely cooled down.
•
Do not place your hand directly above
the cover of the filter compartment
whilst the appliance is in use: the steam
escaping is very hot.
•
Unplug the appliance if there are any
signs of not working properly, after use,
and before cleaning or maintenance.
•
The oil must be filtered regularly .
Pieces of food which break away tend
to burn, causing the oil to deteriorate
faster. In the long term they may be a
fire risk.
•
Renew the oil in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•
If the oil does burst into flames, close
the lid to extinguish the fire.
•
Never try to extinguish the flames with
water ! Smother with damp cloth !

Never immerse the body of the ap-
pliance in water: the bowl only may be
immersed.

- the appliance or the cord is damaged
- the appliance has been dropped or

not work properly.
In these cases, the appliance must be
sent to the nearest approved after-sales
Service Centre, since special tools are
necessary to make any repairs.
•
This appliance is designed for domes-
tic use only. In the case of professional
use, inappropriate use or failure to
comply with the instructions, the ma-
nufacturer takes no responsibility and
the guarantee does not apply.
•
Unplug the appliance before removing
the bowl and do not pug it in again until
the bowl has been replaced.
•
Never move the appliance with a large
amount of hot oil in it (levels 1 and 2).

Never try to straighten out the terminals
of the heating element if they have been
damaged. The appliance must be sent

surfaces which resist high tempera-
tures. The best solution is to put it back
into the appliance.
