Initial use

Before you proceed, we need you to pay attention to the following notes:

- Make sure that there is sufficient space around the appliance to allow heat to escape and provide sufficient ventilation.

Clean the appliance. Refer to the section •

"Cleaning and maintenance".

Clean the accessories. Refer to the section •

"Cleaning and maintenance".

Assembly

Before you proceed, we need you to pay attention to the following notes:

- Before assembly, always remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

The deep fryer has a 'cold zone' at the bottom of the appliance. The 'cold zone' is a zone where larger food particles sink and the lower temperature keeps them from being burnt by the oil or the liquid fat. Deep fryers with a 'cold zone' have many advantages, but also require special attention. Deep fryers with a 'cold zone' are sensitive to water as the heating element is immersed in oil or liquid fat. Water can get in touch with the oil or the liquid fat due to various causes:

• Most food, especially potatoes, naturally contains water.
• Condensation of hot steam.
• Ice particles in frozen food.
• Food is washed but not dried thoroughly before use.
• The removable pan is not dried thoroughly after cleaning.
• The wrong type of oil or liquid fat is used. If water gets in touch with the oil or the liquid fat, the substance may start to splash, effervesce or overflow excessively. In order to optimise the deep fryers, Princess has developed a special safety filter which further decreases the temperature of the 'cold zone' and distributes water particles more effectively. The safety filter prevents the substance from splashing, effervescing or overflowing.

Before you proceed, we would like you to focus your attention on the following notes:

• Regularly change the oil or the liquid fat.
• Regularly clean the safety filter. Make sure that the openings in the safety filter are not blocked.

Place the removable pan (6) into the appliance.

Place the safety filter (7) onto the bottom of the removable pan (6).

Mount the electronic control unit (5) to the appliance.

Mount the basket grip (9) to the basket (8). Place the basket (8) into the removable pan (6).

Place the lid (10) onto the appliance.

Secrets of success from Dutch top cook Cas Spijkers

Use liquid vegetable oil, such as peanut oil, corn oil or soya oil for the tastiest results.

Always deep-fry the food at the right · temperature. Make sure that the food is in the basket during the automatic heat-up time.

Defrost the food before use for the healthiest results.

Do not deep-fry pre-cooked chips more than once. Always pre-fry fresh chips.

Do not fill the basket with too much food · to avoid undesired frying results.

Regularly refresh the oil or the liquid fat for the healthiest results. Always change the oil or the liquid fat after deep-frying raw snacks like chicken legs.

Keep the oil or the liquid fat fresh for a longer period by sieving it after use to remove food residues.
