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

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

• Carefully read all instructions before

operating and save for future reference.

• Remove any packaging material and

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

• Do not place the deep fryer near

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.

• To protect against electric shock, do

not immerse cord in water or any other
liquid.

• Ensure the deep fryer is completely dry

and free of water before adding any oil.

• Extreme caution must be used when

the deep fryer contains hot oil or other
liquid. Do not move the appliance
during cooking. Allow the deep fryer to
cool before removing oil or other liquid.

• Solid oil products, such as butter,

margarine or animal fats of any kind
should not be used in the deep fryer
as they may overheat and cause a fire
hazard.

• Do not touch hot surfaces.

• At no time should the deep fryer be left

unattended when in use.

• The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat

and steam during and after the cooking
process. To prevent the risk of burns, do
not touch or block the steam ventilation
area on the lid. Remove lid to reduce
condensation build up.

• Take care when opening the lid. This

product generate heat and steam at
high temperatures, which will escape
immediately when the lid is opened.
Avoid touching hot surfaces.

• Do not place anything on top of the deep

fryer when the lid is closed, when in use
and when stored.

• Always switch the deep fryer off at the

power outlet, then unplug and allow to
cool, if appliance is not in use, before
cleaning, before attempting to move the
appliance, disassembling, assembling
and when storing the appliance.

• Keep the appliance clean. Follow the

cleaning instructions provided in this
book.

• Do not immerse the deep fryer control

panel, element or cord in water or any
other liquid.
