Safety
Thermal safety cut-out
This appliance is equipped with a thermal safety cut-out that switches off the appliance if it
overheats.
This may happen if there is not enough oil or fat in the fryer or if blocks of solid fat are melted in
the fryer, which prevents the heating element from being able to give off its heat.
Take the following measures if the fryer does not work anymore:
1 Unplug the appliance.
2 Let the oil or fat cool down.
3 Carefully press the reset button at the front of the fryer, above the top right-hand corner of
the display, with a very small screwdriver (Fig. 2).
Now the appliance is ready for use again.
Note: If the appliance still does not work after you have reset it, go to your Philips dealer or a service
centre authorised by Philips.
Preparing for use
Put the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface out of the reach of children.
1
2 Take the entire cord from the cord storage compartment (Fig. 3).
3 Fill the 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. 4).
Do not switch on the appliance 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 fr ying 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.
Only use types of oil or fat that are suitable for deep frying and that contain an antifoam agent. You
can nd this information on the package or label of the oil or fat.
ENGLISH8
Solid fat
It is also 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:
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 melted. Punch some holes into the
resolidied fat with a fork to prevent this. (Fig. 5)
Be careful not to damage the coating of the inner bowl while you do this.
Using the appliance
Frying
1 Put the plug in the wall socket.
Make sure the cord does not come into contact with hot parts of the appliance.
2 Set the on/off switch to ‘I’ to switch on the fryer. (Fig. 6)
The power-on light in the on/off switch goes on and you hear an audible signal.
This appliance is equipped with electronic temperature control. The set temperature appears on the
display of the appliance.
3 Press the temperature button one or more times to set the required frying temperature
(150-190°C). The display shows the selected temperature. (Fig. 7)
For the required temperature, see the package of the food to be fried or the food table at the end

If you do not set a temperature, the oil or fat is heated to 150°C.
You can leave the basket in the fryer while the oil or fat heats up.
The oil or fat is heated to the selected temperature in 10 to 15 minutes.
,
While the fryer heats up, the thermometer symbol on the display lls and empties
,
continuously. When the entire thermometer symbol, including the top segment, has turned
black, the oil or fat has reached the selected temperature. You hear an audible signal to
indicate that the fryer is ready for frying the rst batch.
Note: If you want to fry a number of batches in a row, wait until the thermometer symbol has turned
completely black again before you start frying the next batch. In this case you do NOT hear an audible

Active Air Control `
1 This appliance is equipped with Active Air Control ` , a closed system based on the principle
of condensation that offers a reduction of frying odours by up to 100%. (Fig. 13)
The system condenses the steam produced by frying into water in a continuous process. The
condensed water is collected in a water reservoir in the bottom of the fryer housing.
The condensed water reservoir has a capacity of 750ml, which is enough to hold the quantity of
-
condensed water resulting from frying 1.6kg frozen French fries.
The level indicator at the front of the reservoir tells you how much water has already been
collected in the water reservoir and the maximum amount it can contain.
Once you have set the”on/off switch to ‘I’, the Active Air Control
,
and the fan in the rear part of the fryer starts running, to cool down and condense the frying
steam that develops inside the fryer.
The blue System Active light indicates that the Active Air Control

,
signal is repeated.
3 Press the timer button to stop the audible signal.
ReFresh indication
For better, tastier and healthier frying results, this appliance is equipped with a ReFresh function,
which advises you when to change the oil or fat. After 6 hours of frying, the ReFresh symbol appears
on the display and starts ashing, advising you to change the oil or fat (see chapter ‘Cleaning’, section
‘Changing the oil or fat’).
1 After you have changed the oil or fat, press the ReFresh button for at least 2 seconds to
reset the frying session counter (Fig. 16).
The ReFresh function does not interfere with the frying process, which means that you can always
continue frying without changing oil or fat.

The lid of the water reservoir is detachable. The reservoir and its lid can be cleaned in the
dishwasher or in hot water with some washing-up liquid.
Note: If you do not use the fryer regularly, we advise you to remove the oil or liquid fat and to store it in
well-closed containers, preferably in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Fill the containers by pouring the
oil or fat through a ne sieve to remove food particles. Remove the frying basket before you empty the
inner bowl.

button for at least 2 seconds to activate the PreClean function. (Fig. 23)
The water is heated to 80°C for 30 minutes to soak the inner bowl. This makes it easier for
,
you to clean the bowl. (Fig. 24)
3 When 30 minutes have passed, you hear an audible signal to indicate that the heating element
is turned off. You can now lift the inner bowl out of the fryer, empty it and clean it with hot
water and some washing-up liquid.
Dishwasher-proof parts
All parts, except the housing with electrical components and the heating element, can be cleaned in
the dishwasher or in hot water with some washing-up liquid.
Clean the housing with a moist cloth (with some washing-up liquid) and/or kitchen paper.
Dry all par ts thoroughly after cleaning.
-
Cleaning the glass lid
This appliance is equipped with a glass lid with a permanent sealing ring. Do not remove the
sealing ring to guarantee optimal functioning (Fig. 25).
Clean the glass lid in the dishwasher or in hot water with some washing-up liquid every time
you have used the appliance.
Changing the oil or fat
Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you have to change the oil or fat
regularly. The ReFresh symbol advises you when to change the oil or fat (see chapter ‘Using the
appliance’, section ‘ReFresh indication’).
If you use the fryer to prepare food that is rich in proteins (such as meat or sh), 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.
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
ENGLISH12
fryer with 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
Put all parts back onto/into the fryer and close the lid.
1
When you put the lid back onto the appliance, make sure that the holder has been moved
backwards and that you insert the lid properly into the hinge.
2 Wind up the cord and push it back into the storage compartment (Fig. 26).
3 Lift the fryer by its handles (Fig. 27).
4 If the fryer contains solid fat, let the fat solidify in the fryer and store the fryer with the fat in
it (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
Frying tips
For information about which quantities and settings to select, see the food table at the end of
this booklet.
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 large quantities at one time. Do not exceed the quantities mentioned in the food
table at the end of this booklet.
Getting rid of unwanted avours
Certain types of food, par ticularly 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
You make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way:
1 Use rm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water.
This prevents them from sticking to each other during frying.
Note: Dry the sticks thoroughly.
2 Fry the French fries twice: the rst time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160°C, the
second time for 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 175°C. Let the French fries cool down
before you fry them for the second time.
3 Put the home-made French fries in a bowl and shake them.
Environment
Do not throw away the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end of its life,
-
but hand it in at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the
environment (Fig. 28).
