When using electrical appliances, a series
of basic safety regulations should be
respected in order to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shocks and/or personal injury:
PARTICULARLY
• Do not use the appliance if your hands
or feet are damp or wet, or if you are
barefoot.
• To protect against electric shocks, do
not submerge the control panel and
element in water or hold them under a
running tap.
• WARNING: WHEN THE APPLIANCE
IS SWITCHED ON IT REACHES VERY
HIGH TEMPERATURES. TAKE ALL
NECESSARY MEASURES TO AVOID
THE RISK OF BURNS, FIRES AND
OTHER DAMAGE TO PEOPLE OR
PROPERTY.
• DO NOT MOVE THE APPLIANCE
DURING USE OR WHILE THE OIL IS
COOLING.
• Do not forget that the oil may deteriorate
and even catch fire if heated for too
long at a high temperature. If the oil
were to catch fire, unplug the appliance
immediately and place the lid on the
pan. This will cut off the oxygen supply,
thereby smothering the fire. For your
own safety, never use water to put out
the fire.
• IMPORTANT: Used oil burns at a lower
temperature than fresh oil and is more
likely to boil suddenly.
• Unplug the appliance while not in use or
before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning operation.
• To switch the appliance off, first turn the
switch to its ‘0’ position and then unplug
the cable from the mains.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended
while in use. Switch the appliance off
whenever you leave the room, even if it
is only for a brief moment.
• Let the oil cool before cleaning and
storing the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance if the power
cable or plug are damaged, or in
the event of breakdown or improper
functioning. Regularly check the power
cable for damage.
• The user should never try to replace the
appliance’s cable. If the cable were to
become damaged or need replacing,
take the appliance to a Technical
Assistance Service authorised by the
manufacturer for examination, repair or
adjustment.
• Do not let the cable hang over the edge
of the table or worktop, or come into
contact with hot surfaces.
• Never pull on the cable to unplug the
appliance.
• Do not leave the appliance on or near a
gas burner or electric hotplate, or inside
or near a hot oven or a microwave oven.
• Never use the appliance outside or
expose it to the elements (rain, sun,
frost, etc.).
• When you decide to dispose of the
appliance definitively, unplug it and
render it unserviceable by cutting the
power cable, for example.
• This appliance should not be used
by physically, sensorially or mentally
handicapped people or people without
experience or knowledge of it (including
children), unless they are supervised or
instructed in the use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be watched to ensure
they do not play with the appliance.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
• We recommend that you use
vegetable oil suitable for frying at high
temperatures. You can also use liquid
or solid fat. If you use solid fat, take the
necessary precautions to prevent the
element from overheating (see ‘Using
with solid fat’).
• Do not use the fryer with too little oil/fat
or with no oil/fat. The oil/fat level should
be between the minimum and maximum
marks indicated on the pan (7). Before
switching the fryer on, make sure the oil
level is correct.
