Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before you use the appliance and save them for future
reference.
Check if the voltage that is 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 qualied 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 becomes
invalid.
Clean the separate parts of the fryer thoroughly before you use the appliance for the rst
,
time (see chapter ‘Cleaning’). Make sure all parts are completely dry before you ll the fryer
with oil or liquid fat.
During frying, hot steam is released through the lter. 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.
Do not touch the viewing window, as it becomes hot during frying.
,
Place the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface 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
,
professional or semiprofessional purposes, or if it is used in a way that is not according to the
instructions for use, the guarantee becomes invalid and Philips refuses any liability for 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 175°C (to
minimise the production of acrylamide).
Do not fry Asian rice cakes (or similar types of food) in this appliance. This might cause heavy
,
spattering or violent bubbling of the oil or fat.
Make sure the fryer is always lled with oil or fat to a level between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’
,
indications on the inside of the inner bowl to prevent either overowing or overheating.
Do not switch on the appliance before you have lled it with oil or fat, as this can damage the
,
appliance.
Electromagnetic elds (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled
properly and in accordance with the instructions in this instruction manual, the appliance is safe to

Preparing for use
Clean the appliance before rst use (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
1
2 Open the lid. (Fig. 3)
3 Consult the oil/fat table to determine how much oil or fat you should put in the fryer. (Fig. 4)
4 Fill the fryer with oil, liquid fat or melted solid fat to a level between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’
indications and close the lid. (Fig. 5)
Do not switch the appliance on before you have lled it with oil or fat.
Oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or fat and never add fresh oil or fat to used 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), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunower oil.
Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat
regularly (after 10-12 times).
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.
Solid fat
You can also use solid frying fat. 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 resolidied fat still in it at room temperature.
4 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when it melts. Punch some holes into the
resolidied fat with a fork to prevent this. (Fig. 6)
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.
Using the appliance
Frying
Hot steam escapes from the lter in the lid during frying.

Getting rid of unwanted avours
Certain types of food, particularly sh, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant avour. To neutralise the
taste of the oil or fat:
1 Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160°C.
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 now has a neutral taste again.
Home-made French fries
