User manual

- This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for
professional or semi-professional purposes or if it is not used according to the instructions
in the user manual, the guarantee becomes invalid and Philips refuses any liability for damage
caused.
- Fry food golden-yellow instead of dark or brown and remove burnt remnants. Do not fry
starchy foods, especially potato and cereal products, at a temperature above 175°C (to minimise
the production of acrylamide).
- Prevent water and/or ice from coming into contact with oil or fat, as this causes heavy spattering
or violent bubbling of the oil of fat. To achieve this, remove all excess ice from frozen ingredients
before you fry them and dry ingredients thoroughly before you fry them. Do not overll the
basket. After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly before you put oil or fat in the fryer.
- Do not fry Asian rice cakes (or similar types of food) in this appliance. This might cause heavy
spattering or violent bubbling of the oil or fat.
- Make sure the fryer is always lled with oil or fat to a level between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’
indications on the inside of the inner bowl to prevent either overowing or overheating.
- Do not switch on the appliance before you have lled it with oil or fat, as this can damage
the appliance.

Oil and fat
Nevermixdifferenttypesofoilorfatandneveraddfreshoilorfattousedoilorfat.
- We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. Preferably use vegetable oil or fat that is rich
in unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunower oil.
- Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you have to change the oil or
fat regularly (after 10-12 times).
- Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste
or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
Solid fat
You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from
spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
1 Ifyouwanttousenewblocksoffat,meltthemslowlyoveralowheatinanormalpan.
2 Pourthemeltedfatcarefullyintothefryer.
