Page 7: Solid fat

This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for

professional or semi-professional purposes or if it is not used according to the instructions in

the user manual, the guarantee becomes invalid and Philips refuses any liability for damage

caused.

Fry food golden-yellow instead of dark or brown and remove burnt remnants. Do not fry

starchy foods, especially potato and cereal products, at a temperature above 175°C (to minimise

the production of acrylamide).

Prevent water and/or ice from coming into contact with oil or fat, as this causes heavy spattering

or violent bubbling of the oil or fat. To achieve this, remove all excess ice from frozen ingredients

before you fry them and dry ingredients thoroughly before you fry them. Do not overfill the

basket. After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly before you put oil or fat in the fryer.

Do not fry Asian rice cakes (or similar types of food) in this appliance. This might cause heavy

spattering or violent bubbling of the oil or fat.

Make sure the fryer is always filled with oil or fat to a level between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’

indications on the inside of the inner bowl to prevent either overflowing or overheating.

Do not switch on the appliance before you have filled it with oil or fat, as this can damage the

appliance.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled

properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on

scientific evidence available today.

preparing for use

Clean the appliance before you use it for the first time (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).

Place the control panel onto the housing (‘click’). (Fig. 2)

If the control panel is not correctly placed, the safety switch makes it impossible to operate the

fryer.

Remove the lid (Fig. 3).

Consult the oil/fat table to determine how much oil or fat you have to put in the

fryer (Fig. 4).

Fill the fryer with oil, liquid frying fat or melted solid fat to a level between the ‘MIN’ and

‘MAX’ indications and put the lid on the fryer.

Do not switch on the appliance before you have filled it with oil or fat.

oil and fat

Never mix different types of oil or fat and never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.

We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. Preferably use vegetable oil or fat that is rich

in unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunflower oil.

Only use types of oil or fat that are suitable for deep frying and that contain an antifoam agent.

You can find this information on the package or label of the oil or fat.

Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, it is important that you

change the oil or fat regularly (after 10-12 times).

Always change the oil or fat if it starts to foam when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste

or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
solid fat

You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from

spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
