• NEVER ADD WATER TO THE OIL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE THE OIL TO SPLASH VIOLENTLY!

• Avoid contact with the hot oil.

• Avoid touching hot surfaces. Always wear gloves.

• Caution! Scalding steam can be emitted from the ventilation holes on the filter cover when frying.

• Always allow the oil to cool before moving, emptying or cleaning the apparatus. Keep the lid closed if moving the apparatus when full.

• The apparatus or cord must not be submerged in water or any other liquid.

• NOnly use the accompanying accessories.

• Use only metal kitchen implements in the apparatus, as the hot oil can melt plastic implements. Never leave implements in the apparatus, as they will become hot.

• Make sure the apparatus is kept clean, as it comes into contact with food.

• NB! If a fire starts in the apparatus, never try to put it out with water! Instead, close the lid and try to smother the flames with a damp cloth or wet towel. Remove the plug from the socket. Positioning the apparatus

• Always place the apparatus on a level, dry, stable and heat resistant surface.

• Always place the apparatus at the back of a kitchen worktop and at a safe distance from flammable objects such as curtains, tablecloths or similar.

• Check the anti-odour filter (16) is correctly fitted (as described under ‘Replacing anti- odour filter’.) NB! The apparatus may emit a little smoke and odour the first time it is used which does not come from the food inside. This is due to oil residue from manufacture and is neither abnormal nor dangerous.

2. Check bowl is positioned with the hole in the basket at the front.

3. Pour the required amount of oil into the bowl. Fill the oil to somewhere between the
