Be sure your appliance is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Before installation or service,

disconnect the power supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, "tripping" the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.

Before installing the fryer, check for

external visible damage. Do not operate a damaged appliance.

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

Before installation, make sure that

the voltage and frequency listed on the rating label correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and appliance damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect this appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Be sure that the power cord does

not come in contact with any "hot spots" after installation.

This appliance must not be installed

or operated outdoors.

Do not use the appliance until it has

been properly installed in the countertop.

Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department.

Under no circumstances open the

outer casing of the appliance.

In the event of damage to the

Defective components should be

replaced with Miele original spare parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

The appliance is hot during use and

remains so for some time after being switched off. Be careful not to come in contact with the hot appliance, oil or water in the fryer. Only the handle of the basket is safe to touch. Once the residual heat indicator has gone out the appliance is safe to touch.

Protect your hands with oven mitts

or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns.

Do not leave the fryer unattended

while in use. Overheated oil can ignite. Do not allow an open flame in the vicinity of the fryer.

Do not store aerosols, combustibles

or any other easily flammable materials underneath or adjacent to the appliance.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher on any fire or flame.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

garments when operating the appliance, they may present a fire hazard.

Do not let flammable materials,

i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the appliance.

Make certain that the power cords of

small appliances do not come in contact with the appliance. The insulation of the cable could become damaged. Danger of electric shock!

Do not turn on the appliance when

the heating element is raised.

Never use the appliance to heat a

room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch fire.

Clean or change oil or fat as it is

necessary. Dirty oil or fat is a fire hazard. Use extreme caution when draining and disposing grease!

The appliance should only be turned

on when the lid is removed and the reservoir has been filled.

Do not dispose of oil or fat down the

drain. Oil and fat can cause blockages in the water pipes. Dispose of it with the household waste or consult your local sewage or sanitation authority for proper disposal instructions.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

this appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Before using for the first time

Cleaning the appliance

Remove any protective packaging or

labels.

Make sure the drain valve is closed.

Fill the reservoir with approximately

1 gallon (4 l) of water and add a small amount of dish soap. Make sure the water level is no higher than the maximum level marked on the rear of the reservoir.

Turn the control knob clockwise to

275°F (130°C) and bring the water to a boil.

^ Once the water starts to boil, turn off

the fryer by turning the control knob counterclockwise to "0". Allow the water to cool to a safe temperature before draining. Empty the water into a heat resistant container by slowly opening the drain valve by turning it counterclockwise (see "After using the fryer").

Heating the appliance

Metal components of the appliance have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time the appliance is heated.

The smell will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

Rinse the reservoir thoroughly with hot water.

Close the drain valve by turning it clockwise, raise the heating element, and dry the reservoir with a clean cloth.

Clean the other surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Use

Fryer lid

To remove the lid to the fryer, press

on the left or right side of the lid with your finger a.

Use your other hand to lift the cover

at the back and remove b.

Do not replace the lid until the

deep fat fryer is completely cold. Danger of burning.

Turning On/Off

Do not turn on the fryer when it is empty or when the heating element is raised.

To turn the fryer on, press the control

knob down and turn it clockwise a to the desired setting.

^ To turn the fryer off, turn the control

knob counterclockwise b to "0".

Do not turn the fryer on without pressing the control knob down, and do not turn the knob past "400" to reach "0". This will cause damage.

After turning the appliance on, the On/Off indicator control light % will turn on.

The temperature control light "responds" to the heating element in the appliance, i.e. it only comes on when the fryer is actively heating.

N and the temperature

Residual heat indicator

The indicator turns off once the appliance is cool enough to touch.

Do not touch the fryer when the residual heat indicator is on. Danger of burns!

Use

Using the fryer

Before frying

Only operate the fryer with the lid removed.

Only use oil/fat which is suitable for frying.

Never mix two types of oil/fat together.

Be sure the reservoir has been filled with enough oil, min. 3 quarts (3 liters) max. 1 gallon (4 liters).

^ Check that the drain valve is closed.

^ Fill the reservoir with oil/fat. Solid fat

should be cut into small pieces. If re-using fat which has solidified in the reservoir, make a hole in the fat with a blunt utensil as far down as the heating element. This will allow any water to evaporate.

^ Turn the control knob to 212°F

(100°C) and wait until the fat is completely melted.

Check the level in the reservoir after the fat has melted. It must be between the minimum and maximum levels as marked on the rear wall of the reservoir.

Using the fryer

Set the desired frying temperature

(see table on next page). Once the temperature control light goes out the oil has reached the set temperature.

Place the frying basket containing the

food into the hot oil. If the oil froths a lot, briefly remove the basket from the reservoir and slowly lower it again.

Remove the basket from the hot oil

when the food has finished cooking. Give the basket a slight shake to remove excess oil. Hang the basket from the basket support.

Do not allow the food to be suspended over the reservoir for too long, otherwise steam from the oil may cause the food to loose its crispness.

^ When no longer dripping, place the

food on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

Use caution when frying. Do not touch hot oil. Protect your hands by wearing oven mitts and remove hot food using proper utensils.
