Using the fryer Frying tips Do not add salt, powders or sauces to food while the basket is over the hot oil. This can cause the oil to "spit" or froth which could cause burns. – The oil must be hot enough to seal and cook the food quickly. If the temperature is too low, the food will absorb oil. Wait until the temperature control light goes out (which means the set temperature has been reached), before placing food into the fryer.
Using the fryer After using the fryer Turn off the fryer and drain off the oil. If you wish to store the oil, it should be filtered to remove any impurities which may impair the taste of the food and will help the oil last longer. ,Use extreme caution when draining and disposing grease! ^ Allow the oil to cool but not solidify. If it has solidified it can be melted by heating the fryer to 212°F (100°C). ^ Place a heat-resistant container beneath the drain valve.
Safety cut-out feature This appliance is equipped with a safety cut-out feature that automatically shuts it off when: ^ Turn the control knob to "0" and wait until the heating element has cooled. – the reservoir is not filled to at least the minimum level marker. – the appliance is turned on when empty. – the appliance is turned on when the heating element is raised (e.g. for cleaning). The safety cut-out feature has kicked on when the On/Off indicator is on, but the oil/fat is no longer hot.
Cleaning and care ,Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects which could damage the seal between the frame and the countertop. Never use scouring agents, pads, abrasive cleaning agents, or strong cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these will damage the surface of the appliance. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner in the reservoir.
Cleaning and care Reservoir Stainless steel surfaces ^ Be sure the appliance is cool before draining the reservoir for cleaning (see "After using the fryer"). The stainless steel surfaces, including the fryer lid, can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner (available from Miele). Apply sparingly with even pressure using a soft cloth. Fryer basket Clean the basket after each use using a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. ^ Raise the heating element.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Note to the installer: Please leave this instruction book with the consumer for the local electrical inspector’s use. The minimum distances given in these Installation Instructions must be observed in order to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire. ~ The appliance must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety distances above the appliance The minimum safety distance given by the hood manufacturer must be maintained between the fryer and the hood above it. See the installation instructions of the hood for these safety measurements. If the hood manufacturers instructions are not available or if flammable objects are installed over the fryer (e.g. cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum safety distance of 30" (760 mm) must be maintained.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety distances to the sides of the appliance The fryer should only be installed as shown in the illustrations, while maintaining the required safety distances shown. Do not install the appliance between two tall cabinets, this is a fire hazard. A distance of at least 2" (50 mm) must be kept between the countertop cut-out and the rear wall because of the high temperatures radiated.
Installation Safety distance from the wall covering If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can damage these materials. If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2" (50 mm).
