water.
• Clean the various parts with a damp
cloth prior to use. Ensure that they are
thoroughly dry before filling the deep fat
fryer with oil or fat.
• Do not switch on the deep fat frying pan
until you have filled it with oil or fat.
When melting fat: initially select 160 °C /

• Keep the deep fat fryer out of the reach
of children at all times especially when
in use.
