• Connect the appliance to a mains power
socket with a voltage of 220V-240V ~ 50 Hz.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or
cables to be replaced at once by qualified
technicians
• Ensure that the power cable never
becomes wet or moist during operation.
• Never submerge the operating/heating
element or the housing with the power
cable in water, and do not clean these
components under running water.
• Do not use any accessories that are not
recommended by the manufacturer. They
could constitute a danger to user and
damage to the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of
hot surfaces.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended
when in use.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a
separate remote control system to operate
the appliance.
• Provide proper ventilation when using the
appliance.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use.
Allow to cool before moving, cleaning or
storing the appliance.
• Old or dirty fats and oils can ignite if
overheated. Change the oils or fats in good
time. In case of fire, remove the power plug

• This appliance is not intended for use by
individuals (including children) with
restricted physical, physiological or
intellectual abilities or deficiencies in
experience and/or knowledge unless they
are supervised by a person responsible for
their safety or receive from this person
instruction in how the appliance is to be
used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Ensure that the appliance stands with a
safe and secure positioning on a heat
resistant surface - do not let the mains cord
hang over the edge of a table, or touch hot
surfaces.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has been
dropped or damaged. Arrange for the
appliance to be checked and, if necessary,
repaired by qualified technicians.
• Make sure the inner bowl is completely
dry before you fill the fryer with oil or fat,
otherwise, hot oil or fat could splatter out.
• Carefully pat all foodstuffs dry before
placing them in the deep fryer. Otherwise,
hot oil or fat could splatter out.
• Be especially careful with frozen
foodstuffs. Remove all ice particles. The
more ice/ moisture there is on the foodstuff,
the more the hot oil or fat will splatter.
• Ensure the oil is filled between the
minimum and maximum oil level marks inside the
oil bowl. Do not switch the appliance on before
you have filled with oil or fat.
• During the frying process hot steam is
generated, especially when the lid is open. Keep a
safe distance away from the steam.
