BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• Carefully read all instructions before

operating and save for future reference.

promotional stickers before using the deep fryer for the ﬁrst time.

the edge of a bench or table during operation. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water.

• Do not place the deep fryer on or near

a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.

• Place the deep fryer at least 20cm

away from walls and curtains. Provide adequate space above and on all sides for air circulation around the deep fryer.

• Do not use on metal surfaces, for

example, a sink drain board.

• Always insure the deep fryer is properly

assembled before use. Follow the instruction provided in this book.
