Safety Cut-Out; Preparing For Use; Using The Appliance - Philips Comfort HD6123 Mode D'emploi

Safety cut-out

This appliance is equipped with a safety cut-out that switches the appliance off if it overheats.This
may happen if there is not enough oil or fat in the fryer or if blocks of solid fat are being melted in
the fryer, which will prevent the heating element from being able to give off its heat.
◗
If the fryer doesn't work anymore, let the oil or fat cool down and turn to your Philips
dealer or a service centre authorised by Philips.

Preparing for use

1 Place the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface out of the reach of children.
If you wish to place the fryer on top of the cooker, make sure the rings of the cooker have been
turned off and are cold.
2 Fill the dry fryer with oil, liquid fat or melted solid fat up to the top indication mark on the
inside of the inner bowl (see section 'Oil and fat', for instructions on how to use solid fat)
(fig. 1).

Oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or 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).
It is possible to use solid frying fat, but 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, first melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
2 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3 Store the fryer with resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
4 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when melted. Punch some holes into the
resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this (fig. 2).
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.

Using the appliance
