instructions for use, the guarantee will become invalid and Philips will not accept liability for
any damage caused.
◗Fry food golden-yellow instead of dark or brown and remove burnt remnants! Do not fry
starchy foods,especially potato and cereal products, at a temperature above 175cC (to
minimise the production of acrylamide).
Safety cut-out
This appliance is equipped with a safety cut-out that switches the appliance off if it overheats.This
may happen if there is not enough oil or fat in the fryer or if blocks of solid fat are being melted in
the fryer, which will prevent the heating element from being able to give off its heat.
◗If the fryer doesn't work anymore, let the oil or fat cool down and turn to your Philips
dealer or a service centre authorised by Philips.
Preparing for use
1 Put the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface out of the reach of children.
If you want to place the fryer on top of the cooker,make sure the rings of the cooker have been
turned off and are cold.

Oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or fat!
We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat, preferably vegetable oil or fat that is rich in
unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid).
It is possible to use solid frying fat, but in that case extra precautions are necessary to prevent the
fat from spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
1 If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
2 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3 Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
4 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when melted. Punch some holes into the
resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this.
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.

5 Clean the lid and the basket in hot water with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
6 Rinse the parts with fresh water afterwards and dry them thoroughly.
Cleaning the permanent anti-grease filter
This appliance is equipped with a permanent filter.To guarantee optimal functioning, the metal filter
should be cleaned regularly.
◗Clean the lid of the fryer in hot water with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher
every time you have used the appliance.
For thorough cleaning:
1 Undo the screws on the inside of the lid (fig. 12).
2 Remove the filter by pulling it off the inside of the lid.This may require some force! Let the
filter dry thoroughly before you put it back into the lid and before you start using the
appliance again (fig. 13).
3 Put the filter back into the lid and redo the screws on the inside of the lid.
Changing oil or fat
Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat
regularly.To do so, follow the instructions below.
If you mainly use the fryer to prepare French fries and if you sieve the oil or fat after each use, you
can re-use the oil or fat 10 to 12 times before it needs to be changed. If you use the fryer to
prepare food that is rich in proteins (such as meat or fish), you should change the oil or fat more
often.
◗Never use the same oil or fat longer than 6 months and always follow the instructions on the
package.
◗Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
◗Never mix different types of oil or fat.
◗Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or
taste or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
ENGLISH10
Disposing of used oil or fat
Pour used oil or liquid fat back into its original (resealable) plastic bottle.You can dispose of used fat
by letting it solidify in the fryer (without the basket in it) and subsequently scooping it out of the
fryer by means of a spatula and wrapping it in a newspaper. If applicable, you can put the bottle or
newspaper in the bin for non-compostable waste (not in the compostable waste bin) or dispose of
it in accordance with the regulations in your country.
Storage
1 Put all parts back into/onto the fryer and close the lid.
2 Wind up the cord, put it in the cord storage compartment and insert the plug into the plug
fixing facility (fig. 14).
3 Lift the fryer by its handles.
Frying tips
For an overview of preparation times and temperature settings, see the tables at the end of these
instructions for use.
Home-made French fries
You will make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way:
1 Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water.
This will prevent them from sticking to each other during frying.
B
Dry the sticks thoroughly.
2 Fry the French fries twice: the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160cC, the
second time for 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 175cC.
3 Put the home-made French fries in a bowl and shake them.Let the fries cool down before
frying them for the second time.
Frozen food
Frozen fries have already been precooked, so you will only have to fry them once in accordance
with the instructions on the package.
Food from the freezer (-16 to -18cC) will cause the oil or fat to cool down considerably when it is
immersed in it. Because the food does not sear right away, it may also absorb too much oil or fat.
Take the following measures to prevent this:
-Preferably allow frozen food to defrost at room temperature before frying, unless stated
otherwise on the package of the food to be fried.
-Carefully shake off as much ice and water as possible and dab the food to be fried until it is
properly dry.
-Do not fry very large quantities at one time (consult the relevant table in these instructions for
use).
-Select the frying temperature mentioned in the relevant table at the end of these instructions
for use or on the package of the food to be fried. If there are no instructions, select a
temperature of 190cC.
-Lower the food into the oil or fat very gently, since frozen food may cause the hot oil or fat to
start bubbling violently.
ENGLISH 11
Getting rid of unwanted flavours
Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant flavour.To neutralise the
taste of the oil or fat:
1 Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160cC.
2 Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil.
3 Wait until no more bubbles appear and then scoop the bread or the parsley out of the fryer
with a spatula.
The oil or fat will now have a neutral taste again.
Environment
◗Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but
hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this you will help to preserve
the environment (fig. 15).
Remove the battery of the timer (HD6113 only) before you discard the appliance.
1 Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to remove the timer panel (fig. 16).
2 Remove the battery. Do not throw the battery away with the normal household waste, but
hand it in at an official collection point.
