• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Use a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from any water splashes.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• This electrical equipment operates at high temperatures which may cause burns.
Do not touch the hot parts of the appliance (filter, window, metal walls (depending
on model), other apparent metal parts…). Be careful of hot steam and never put
your hands above the filtration zone.
• Do not switch on the appliance near to flammable materials (blinds, curtains….)
or close to an external heat source (gas stove, hot plate etc.).

Unplug the appliance.
• Smother the flames with a damp cloth.
• Do not move the appliance when it is full of liquids or hot food.
• Never immerse the appliance or the electrical control unit in water !
• Before throwing away your appliance, the timer battery must be removed by a
Tefal Service Centre (depending on model).
• Do not store your deep fryer outside. Store it in a dry and well ventilated area.
• It is essential that you wait until the oil has cooled down before storing the fryer.
Cooking
• Never plug in the deep fryer without oil or fat inside.
• The oil level must always be between the min and max markers.
• If you use solid vegetable fat, cut it into pieces and melt it over a slow heat (max
150°C) in a separate pan beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer
bowl. Never put solid fat directly into the deep fryer bowl or fryer basket as this
will lead to deterioration of the appliance.
• Do not mix different types of oil. Never add water to the oil or fat.
• Do not overfill the basket, never exceed the maximum capacity.
• Oils to use: For best results we recommend using a good quality blended vegetable
oil. If using Sunflower oil ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses.
• Oils which should NOT be used under any circumstances and may cause overflowing/smoking/risk of fire are: ground nut oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.
• If you have a removable anti-odour filter, change it after every 10 - 15 uses
(foam filter) or after 30 - 40 uses (cartridge with saturation indicator), or 80 uses
(carbon filter).

• Some models are equipped with a permanent metallic filter, which does not
need to be changed.
• No matter what the recipe, whether preparing fresh or frozen food, it must be
perfectly dry. Dry the food thoroughly with paper kitchen towel or a clean tea
towel before frying. This will prevent the oil from splattering and/or overflowing,
will extend the life of the oil and give crispier results.
• For frozen food, place the food into the basket and then shake the basket over
the sink to remove any excess ice crystals.
Recommendations
• Limit the cooking temperature to 190°C, especially for potatoes.
• Use the basket for chips.
• Check the cooking progress: Do not eat burnt food.
• Clean your oil after every use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it after every 8
to 10 uses (after every 5 uses if using Sunflower oil). Do not pour used oil/fat into
the sink.
• Leave it to cool and throw it away with household waste - according to the local
community regulations.
• Store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
• For best results and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of
chips to 1/2 basket per frying.
• For larger quantities of food or potatoes the temperature of the oil drops very
fast just after having lowered the basket. This lowers the oil temperature
considerably and it is normal for the temperature to take a while to return to
190°C.
• Take great care when handling the food and use tongs.
• Gradually place the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent
it from sinking straightaway and any oil overflowing.
• For best results fry chips cut from fresh potatoes twice: A first fry at 170°C and a
second fry at 190°C.

• If you use solid fat, chop it into pieces and then melt it
in a separate pan before pouring it into the bowl (never
melt solid fat in the basket or in the bowl).
• Never exceed 150°C to melt the fat that has solidified
in the bowl. For the cooking temperature follow the instructions (see cooking charts p.10).
• NEVER use animal fat such as lard or dripping as this
could cause overflowing, smoke or a fire hazard.
Pre-heating
• After filling the bowl with the fat, close the lid and plug
in your fryer without the basket
• Adjust the thermostat - fig 8 depending on the food to
be fried (see cooking charts p. 11).

• When the temperature indicator switches off, press
the lid unlock button to open the lid and allow the
steam to escape.
Loading the basket
• Dry the food to remove any excess water or ice.
• Fill the basket before placing it in the fryer.
• Do not overfill the basket.
• Reduce quantities for frozen food.
• Tip: Cut food to the same sized pieces so that it cooks
evenly. Avoid pieces that are too thick.
Cooking
Lowering the basket
• After the temperature indicator light goes out, very
gently lower the basket into the oil - fig 11. Lowering it
too quickly could cause the fryer to overflow - Wait for
one minute with the lid open - fig 12 then close the lid
- fig 12a.
Place the fryer:
- on a secure surface
- out of the reach of
children
- away from any
sources of water
splashes or heat.
Never plug the fryer in
when it is empty
(without any oil or fat)
- fig 10.
Never exceed the
maximum safety limit
– fresh products 1200 g,
frozen 900 g. To avoid
overflowing and extend
the life of the oil, dry
the food carefully before
cooking it.

switch and then wait until the temperature light comes
on before placing the new food in the oil.
Table of cooking times
• The cooking times are a guide only; they may vary
depending on the size of the food and the amount of
food and individual preferences. Thicker food may
require turning halfway through frying to ensure even
cooking on both sides.
• Cooking tips: For best results, use the traditional French
method of frying homemade chips:
- first frying at 170 °C
- second frying at 190 °C
• When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove
the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it and use
tongs to slowly lower the food into the hot oil.
Do not place your hand
above the filter system fig. 13, or over the
viewing window.
The steam and the glass
will be hot. Do not touch
the fryer walls which
may also be hot.
The timer (depending
on model) signals the
end of the cooking
time, but does not stop
the appliance.
For crispy fried food,
open the lid as soon as
you have finished
cooking to prevent
steam from softening
the food.
The lid cannot be
closed while the basket
is hooked on the edge
of the bowl.
When cooking battered
food and doughnuts,
take great care when
handling the food and
use tongs. Gradually
place the food into the
hot oil, submerging it
an inch at a time to
prevent it from sinking
immediately.

Cleaning
Filtering and Storing the oil
• You may store the oil in the fryer, or in a separate airtight
container.
• If you use solid vegetable fat, we advise you to store it
separately from the fryer.
• Crumbs that break away from foods tend to burn and
alter the quality of the oil more rapidly. Over time, this
increases the risk of catching fire. For this reason, filter
the oil regularly.
Changing the oil
• Do not pour used oil/fat into the sink. Leave it to cool,
and throw it away with household waste-according to
the local community regulations - fig 22 and fig 22a.
Cleaning the fryer
• Always unplug your fryer and leave it to cool completely
before cleaning it (approx. 2 hours).
• Remove the lid and the basket.
• Put the basket and basket handle in the dishwasher or
wash them with a sponge, warm water and a little
washing-up liquid.
• Do not immerse the lid in water, instead wipe the lid
with a sponge soaked in warm water and a little washing-up liquid. We recommend cleaning the viewing
window after each use by wiping it with a sponge and
fresh lemon juice. Allow the window to dry at room temperature or dry with a clean cotton cloth.
• Dry all items carefully before replacing them.
• Put the lid back on the fryer for storage.
• If you do not keep the oil in your fryer, you can store the
basket and the basket handle inside the fryer.
• The lid is fitted with a permanent metallic filter, you
don't need to change it.
You cannot remove the
metallic filter located in
the lid when washing
the lid.
Never immerse your
appliance or the lid in
water and never wash it
under running water.
Never wash the
appliance body in the
dishwasher.
Do not use aggressive or
abrasive cleaning
products.
Do not store your deep
fryer outside, store it in
a dry and well-ventilated
area.
Leave the fryer with the
oil in the bowl to cool
completely before
filtering the oil (2 hours).
We recommend changing
the oil/fat after a maximum of 8 uses. - fig.21.
