If you do not use the fryer regularly, we advise you to remove the oil or liquid fat and to store it in well-closed containers, preferably in the refrigerator or in a cool place. All parts except the housing, which contains electrical components and the heating element, can be cleaned in the diswasher or in hot water with some washing-up liquid. 6 Clean the housing with a moist cloth (with some washing-up liquid) and/or kitchen paper. Changing oil or fat Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat regularly. 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 or fat longer than 6 months and always follow the instructions on the package. 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. Disposing of used oil or fat Pour used oil or liquid fat back into its original (resealable) plastic bottle. You can dispose of used fat by letting it solidify in the fryer (without the basket in it) and subsequently scooping it out of the fryer by means of a spatula and wrapping it in a newspaper. If applicable, you can put the bottle or newspaper in the bin for non-compostable waste (not in the compostable waste bin) or dispose of it in accordance with the regulations in your country. 2 Wind up the cord, put it in the cord storage compartment and insert the plug into the plug fixing facility (fig.

Do not fry more food at one time than the quantity mentioned in the relevant table in these instructions for use. The fuse of the temperature control may have blown, causing the safety cut-out to switch the appliance off. Turn to your Philips dealer or a service centre authorised by Philips. [. . . ]
