IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the following
1 Read all instructions.
2 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the
handles or knobs.
3To protect against electric shock do not
immerse cord, plugs, or this appliance in
water or other liquid.
4 Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5 Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning the appliance.
6 Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
7 The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance manu-
facturer may cause injuries.
8 Do not use outdoors.
9 Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10 Do not place on or near a hot gas or elec-
tric burner, or in a heated oven.
11 Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
12 Always attach plug to appliance first, then
plug cord in the wall outlet. To discon-
nect, turn any control to “off,” then remo-
ve plug from wall outlet.
13 Do not use appliance for other than inten-
ded use.
14 Extreme caution must be used when
moving fryer containing hot oil.
15 Be sure handles are properly assembled
to basket and locked in place. See detai-
led assembly instructions.
16 SAVE THESE INS-
TRUCTIONS.
17 The oil level must always be between the
MINI and MAXI markings.
18 Do not overload the basket. For safety
reasons never exceed the maximum
quantity.
19 Never operate your fryer without any oil
or fat.
20 The cooking times are given as guide-
lines only.
21 The oil must be filtered regularly and
changed after 8 to 12 uses.
22 Do not mix different types of fat or oils.
23 If you use solid vegetable shortening, cut
it into pieces and melt it over slow heat in
a separate pot beforehand, then slowly
pour it into the deep fryer pot. Never
pour shortening directly into the deep
fryer pot or basket as this will lead to
deterioration of the appliance.
24 If the fryer has a removable pot, never
remove it while the deep fryer is on.
25 If you have any problems, contact the
authorized after-sales service or the inter-
net address www.t-fal.com.
Polarization instructions
If this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) it is to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
This plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
Short Cord instructions
Do not use with an extension cord ; a
short power supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from being
entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
Magnetic connector: for U.S.A. only
The cord is equipped with a detachable
magnetic connector. The magnetic
connector should be attached directly to
the fryer. THIS SHOULD BE DONE PRIOR
TO PLUGGING THE CORD INTO THE
WALL OUTLET.

The oil must be filtered regularly.
Remaining food debris tends to
burn and alters the quality of the
oil more rapidly. Over time, this
increases the risk of catching fire.
Oil storage
•
Remove any small pieces of food remaining in the
oil with a non-metallic skimmer or with oil filtering
papers.
•
Keep the oil in the deep fryer or store it in an airtight container away from heat and light sources.
(recommended if you do not use the deep fryer
often).
Filtering the oil
Using a filter paper (available online or from
approved T-Fal Service Centers):
•
Wait for the oil to cool.
•
Empty the oil gently into a pan.
•
Place a filter paper in the bottom of the basket.
•
Wash the fryer bowl.
•
Place the basket (with filter paper) into the deep
fryer (handle in the upper position).
•
Pour the oil carefully back into the bowl.
•
Throw the filter paper away and clean the basket.
Oil may also be filtered by using an oil filtering
container, ref. XA500003 maximum capacity: 2.5 l
(available from approved T-Fal Service Centers).
Change the oil after being used
for a maximum of 8 to 12 times.
“Clean” oil keeps the flavor and
lightness of foods.
Changing the oil/fat
•
Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave it to cool
and throw it away with household waste.
Change the anti-odor filter each
time the deep fryer has been
used a maximum of 10 to 15
times.
Replace the Anti-odor filter
(Anti-odor filters
ref. XA500008
are available
from approved T-Fal Service Centers)
.
•
Open the lid (1). Remove the lid by pulling it
upwards (2) (fig. 9).
•
Place the underside of the lid towards you.
•
Separate the odor/splash guard from the lid, using
the clip (fig. 10).
•
Remove the anti-odor filter by pushing from
underneath the odor/splash guard.
•
Fit the replacement anti-odor filter (fig. 11).
•
Replace the
odor/splash
guard.

Insert the hooks of the
odor/splash
guard into the
notches in the lid
(fig. 12).
•
Press the odor/splash guard on each side of the
locking clip until you hear a ‘click’ (fig. 13).
•
