Building in and connection

If the appliance is supplied without

It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system such as an electric shock.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the ap pliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assess ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct usage

For safety reasons the appliance

must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to en sure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is for domestic use

only and is not intended for com mercial use.

Use this appliance for the prepara

tion of food only. Any other use is at the owner’s risk and could be danger ous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or misuse of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room and never switch it on when the heating element is in the raised-up position. The high tempera ture could cause inflammable objects nearby to catch fire.

This appliance must not be set up

or operated in the open air.

The fryer should only be switched

on when the lid has been taken off and it has been filled with oil.

Warning and Safety instructions

Protecting the appliance from damage

Do not drop anything on the ce

ramic surface. Even a light object such as a salt cellar, could cause dam age in certain circumstances.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept re sponsibility.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appli ance and its surroundings in a clean

condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

Protection from burning

Never leave the appliance unat

tended when it is switched on and when frying is taking place. Overheated oil can catch fire and could even set the cooker hood on fire. On no account should there be an open flame in the vi cinity.

If frying oil does catch fire despite

this do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Stifle the fire with a suitable fire blanket or by covering with the lid.

Avoid touching the appliance and

the frying oil when they are hot. Both will remain hot for quite a while after the appliance has been switched off. Only the handle of the frying basket can be touched safely. Keep children at a distance.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child’s interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

You may prefer to use heat-resis

tant pot holders or gloves when us ing the appliance. Take care not to let pot holders or gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material quicker with the risk of burning yourself.

Clean or change dirty oil or fat in good time. Oil or fat containing im

purities is liable to catch fire.

Do not empty hot fat or oil into a plastic container. The high temper

ature could cause this to melt.

Ensure that children are kept away from the fryer and cannot get near

to the drain tap of the fryer where oil which is still hot could be drained out.
