Electromagnetic fields (EMF)

This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled
properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientific evidence available today.
thermal safety cut-out
This appliance is equipped with a thermal safety cut-out that automatically cuts off the power supply
to the appliance in case of overheating.
This may happen if there is not enough oil or fat in the fryer or if blocks of solid fat are melted in
the fryer, which prevents the heating element from being able to give off its heat.
If the fryer does not work anymore, take it to your Philips dealer or a service centre authorised by
Philips to have the fuse replaced.

preparing for use

1 Clean the appliance before first use (see chapter 'Cleaning').
 Open the lid (Fig. 2).
 Consult the oil/fat table to determine how much oil or fat you have to put in the fryer
(Fig. 3).
 Fill the dry fryer with oil, liquid frying fat or melted solid fat to a level between the 'MIN' and
'MAX' indications and close the lid. See section 'Oil and fat' for instructions on how to use
solid fat (Fig. 4).
Do not switch on the appliance before you have filled it with oil or fat.
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 sunflower oil.
- 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.
- Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, it is important that you
change the oil or fat regularly (after 10-12 times).
- Always change the oil or fat if it starts to foam when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste
or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
solid fat
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, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
 Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
 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. 5).
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.
