◗ Read the instructions for use and look at the illustrations before  
you start using the appliance.  
◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the  
mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.  
◗ Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.  
◗ Clean the fryer parts as described in the 'Cleaning' section. Dry  
the parts thoroughly.  
◗ Do not immerse the housing and the inner pot in water.These  
parts may only be cleaned with a moist cloth and some washing-up  
liquid  
◗ Make sure all parts are completely dry before you fill the fryer  
with oil or liquid fat.  
◗ During frying, hot steam is released through the filter. 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.  
◗ Keep the appliance out of the reach of children when you use it.  
Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or  
worktop on which the appliance is standing.  
◗ After you have used the appliance, set the temperature control to  
the lowest setting (turn it completely to the left). Remove the plug  
from the wall socket and let the oil or fat cool down. Do not move  
the fryer until it has cooled down sufficiently.  
◗ If the mains cord or other parts of this appliance are damaged,

Oil and 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).You can also  
use solid frying fat, but in that case you should melt it in a pan over low  
heat before use to prevent spattering or overheating of the fat.  
If you want to melt rather cold solid fat that has been used before,  
there is a chance that the fat will start spattering.You can prevent this  
by punching holes in the surface of the resolidified fat with a fork.  
Only use types of oil or fat that are suitable for deep-frying and that  
contain an antifoam agent.You can find this information on the package  
or label of the oil or fat.  
Never mix two different kinds of oil or fat!  
Changing the oil or fat  
As the oil or fat loses its favourable properties rather quickly, you  
should change the oil or fat regularly.To do so, follow the instructions  
below:  
- If you mainly use the fryer to prepare French fries and if you sieve  
the oil or fat after each use, you can re-use the oil or fat 10 to 12  
times before it needs to be changed.  
- If you use the fryer to prepare food that is rich in proteins (such as  
meat or fish), you should change the oil or fat more often.  
- Never use the same oil longer than 6 months and always follow the  
instructions on the package.  
- Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.  
- Always change the oil if it starts foaming when it is heated, when it  
has a strong smell or taste or when 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 solid fat by letting it solidify in the fryer  
(without the basket in it) and subsequently scooping it out of the fryer

ENGLISH 11  
by means of a spatula and wrapping it in a newspaper.You can put the  
bottle or newspaper in the bin for non-compostable waste (not in the  
compostable waste bin) or dispose of them in accordance with the  
regulations in your country.  
Frying tips  
For preparation times and temperature settings, see the table at the  
end of this booklet.  
Home-made French fries  
You will make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following  
way:  
Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold  
water.  
Fry the French fries twice:  
- the first time for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 160cC  
- the second time for 2-4 minutes at a temperature of 190cC  
Frozen food  
Food from the freezer (-16 to -18cC) will cool the oil or fat  
considerably when it is immersed in it. Because it does not sear right  
away, the food may also absorb too much oil or fat.Take the following  
measures to prevent this:  
Preferably allow frozen food to partly defrost at room temperature  
and shake off as much ice and water as possible.  
Do not fry very large quantities at one time (see the table with  
preparation times and temperature settings).  
Getting rid of unwanted flavours  
Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an  
unpleasant flavour.To neutralise the taste of the oil or fat:  
- Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160cC.  
- Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil.  
- 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 will now have a neutral taste again.  
Problems that may occur during frying  
If your fryer does not function properly or if the frying quality is  
insufficient, consult the table below. If you are unable to solve the  
problem by means of this troubleshooting guide, contact your Philips  
dealer or call the Philips Helpline. See the worldwide guarantee leaflet  
for telephone numbers.
