Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future
reference.

◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before

you connect the appliance.

◗ Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
◗ If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by

Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

◗ Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or

repair. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself,otherwise your guarantee will
become invalid.

◗ Clean the separate parts of the fryer thoroughly before using the appliance for the first time

(see chapter 'Cleaning'). Make sure all parts are completely dry before you fill the fryer with
oil or liquid fat.

◗ Never immerse the housing, which contains electrical components and the heating element,

in water nor rinse it under the tap.

◗ Always unplug the appliance after use.Do not move the fryer until it has cooled down

sufficiently.

◗ Do not switch the appliance on before you have filled it with oil or fat. Make sure the fryer is

always filled to a level between the two indication marks on the inside of the inner bowl.

◗ During frying, hot steam is released through the filter. Keep your hands and face at a safe

distance from the steam.You should also be careful of the hot steam when you open the lid.

◗ Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. Do not let the mains cord hang over the

edge of the table or worktop on which the appliance is standing.

◗ This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for

(semi-)professional purposes or if it is used in a way that is not in accordance with the
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).

ENGLISH6

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 Place the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface out of the reach of children.

If you wish to place the fryer on top of the cooker,make sure the rings of the cooker have been
turned off and are cold.

2 Fill the dry fryer with oil, liquid fat or melted solid fat up to the top indication mark on the

inside of the inner bowl (see section 'Oil and fat', for instructions on how to use solid fat)
(fig. 1).

Oil and fat

Never mix different types of oil or fat.

We advise you to use frying oil or liquid fr ying 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, first 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 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 (fig. 2).

Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.

Using the appliance

Frying

Be careful: hot steam will escape from the filter in the lid during frying.

1 Take the entire cord from the cord storage compartment and put the plug in the wall socket

(fig. 3).

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 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.

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 onto/into the fryer and close the lid.
2 Roll up the cord, put it into the cord storage compartment and insert the plug in the plug

fixing facility.

3 Lift the fryer by its handles.

ENGLISH10

Frying tips

For an overview of preparation times and frying temperatures, see the table 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 the
food 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.

- 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 table with preparation times and frying
temperatures).

- Select the frying temperature indicated in the table in 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.

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.

ENGLISH 11

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 (HD6123 only) before you discard the appliance.

1 Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to remove the back of the timer.
2 Remove the battery. Do not throw the battery away with the normal household waste, but

hand it in at an official collection point.

◗ Stek maten gyldenbrun, ikke mørkebrun, og fjern brente rester! Stivelsesholdig mat, særlig

potet- og kornprodukter, bør ikke stekes ved temperaturer over 175cC (for å redusere
dannelsen av akrylamid).

Sikkerhetsbryter

Dette apparatet er utstyrt med en sikkerhetsbryter som slår av apparatet hvis det blir for varmt.
Dette kan skje hvis det ikke er nok olje eller fett i frityrgryten, eller hvis fettklumper smeltes i den,
noe som kan hindre varmeelementene i å avgi varmen.

NORSK 15

◗ Hvis frityrgryten ikke fungerer lenger, la oljen eller fettet avkjøles og henvend deg til en

Philips-forhandler eller et godkjent Philips-verksted.

Klargjøring for bruk

1 Apparatet skal stå på et vannrett, jevnt og stabilt underlag, utilgjengelig for barn.

Hvis du vil sette frityrgryten på komfyren, må du passe på at platene på komfyren er slått av og
er kalde.

2 Fyll den tørre frityrgryten med olje, flytende fett eller smeltet fast fett til det øverste merket

på innsiden av den indre bollen (se avsnittet "Olje og fett" for instrukser om bruk av fast fett)
(fig. 1).

Olje og fett

Bland aldri ulike typer olje eller fett.

Det anbefales å bruke frityrolje eller flytende frityrfett, fortrinnsvis vegetabilsk olje eller fett som
inneholder mye umettet fett (f.eks. linolsyre).

Fett i fast form kan brukes, men man må være forsiktig for å unngå at fettet spruter og at
varmeelementet blir overopphetet eller skadet.

1 Hvis du ønsker å bruke nye blokker med fett,må du først smelte dem sakte på svak varme i

en vanlig kasserolle.

2 Hell det smeltede fettet forsiktig i frityrgryten.
3 Frityrgryten oppbevares ved romtemperatur med det stivnede fettet i.
4 Hvis fettet blir svært kaldt, kan det begynne å sprute når det smelter. Stikk noen hull i det

størknede fettet med en gaffel for å unngå dette (fig. 2).

Pass på at innerbollen ikke blir skadet av gaffelen.

Bruke apparatet

Fritering

Vær forsiktig: det kommer varm damp fra filteret i lokket under friteringen.

1 Ta hele ledningen ut av ledningsrommet og sett støpselet i stikkontakten (fig.3).

Pass på at nettledningen ikke kommer i berøring med de varme delene av apparatet.

2 Bare HD6123 - Slå frityrgryten på ved hjelp av strømbryteren (fig. 4).
