Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself, otherwise your guarantee will become invalid. ◗ Clean the separate parts of the fryer thoroughly before using the appliance for the first time (see chapter 'Cleaning'). Make sure all parts are completely dry before you fill the fryer with oil or liquid fat. ◗ During frying, hot steam is released through the filter. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam.You should also be careful of the hot steam when you open the lid. ◗ Place the appliance on a horizontal, even and stable surface out of the reach of children. ◗ Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop on which the appliance is standing. ◗ This appliance is intended for household use only. If the appliance is used improperly or for professional or semi-professional purposes or if it is used in a way that is not in accordance with the instructions for use, the guarantee will become invalid and Philips will not accept liability for any damage caused. ◗ Fry food golden-yellow instead of dark or brown and remove burnt remnants! Do not fry starchy foods, especially potato and cereal products, at a temperature above 175cC (to minimise the production of acrylamide). Preparing for use 1 Clean the appliance before first use (see chapter 'Cleaning'). 2 Open the lid (fig. 2). 3 Consult the oil/fat table to determine how much oil or fat you should put in the fryer (fig. 3). 4 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 (fig. 4). Do not switch the appliance on before you have filled it with oil or fat. ENGLISH6Oil 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 vegetable oil or fat that is rich in unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid). Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat regularly (after 10-12 times). 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. 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. 2 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer. 3 Store the fryer with the 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. 5). Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork. Using the appliance 1 Take the cord from the cord storage compartment and put the plug in the wall socket (fig. 6). ◗ The temperature light goes on (fig. 7). 2 Set the temperature control to the required temperature (see the package of the food to be fried or the food table at the end of this booklet). 3 Wait until the temperature light goes out (this takes 10 to 15 minutes). 4 Fold out the handle of the frying basket (fig. 8). 5 Open the lid (fig. 2). 6 Remove the basket from the fryer and put the food to be fried in the basket (fig. 9). 7 Carefully put the basket in the oil or fat (fig. 10). 8 Close the lid. 9 Press the button on the basket handle and fold the handle against the fryer (fig. 11). During frying, the temperature light comes on and goes out from time to time to indicate that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature. Timer (HD6104 only)

You can also use the timer for other purposes, e.g. as a regular cooking timer. Setting the timer 1 Press the timer button to set the frying time in minutes (fig. 12). - A few seconds after you have set the frying time, the timer will start counting down. - While the timer is counting down, the remaining frying time blinks on the display.The last minute is displayed in seconds. ENGLISH 7- When the preset time has elapsed you will hear an audible signal.After 10 seconds the audible signal will be repeated.You can stop the audible signal by pressing the timer button.

Note: you can erase the timer setting by pressing the timer button for 2 seconds (at the moment the timer blinks) until '00' appears. After frying 1 Fold out the handle of the basket (fig. 8). 2 Open the lid (fig. 2). Beware of the hot steam. 3 Remove the basket from the fryer and shake off excess oil or fat. 4 Put the fried food in a bowl containing grease-absorbing paper. 5 Enjoy the fried food! If you want to fry another batch, wait until the temperature light has gone out. 6 Unplug the appliance after use. ◗ 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. Cleaning Let the oil or fat cool down for at least 4 hours before cleaning or moving the fryer. Do not use any abrasive (liquid) cleaning agents or materials (e.g scouring pads) to clean the appliance. Never immerse the fryer housing or the timer in water. 1 Open the lid (fig. 2). 2 Remove the lid by pulling it upwards (fig. 13). 3 Lift the frying basket out of the fryer (fig. 9). 4 Pour out the oil or fat (fig. 14). PreClean function This appliance is equipped with a PreClean function, which offers you the possibility to soak the inner bowl with hot water and washing-up liquid to allow easier cleaning. Make sure the oil or fat has been removed from the inner bowl before you use this function. 1 Fill the inner bowl with cold water up to three quarters of its capacity and add some washing-up liquid (fig. 15). 2 Put the plug in the wall socket. 3 Set the temperature control to the PreClean function. The water will be heated to a temperature just below boiling point. 4 Unplug the appliance after 20-30 minutes. 5 Pour the water out of the inner bowl and clean it as described below. ENGLISH8ENGLISH Cleaning the appliance 1 Clean the bowl, the lid and the frying basket with hot water and some washing-up liquid, rinse them with fresh water and dry them thoroughly. The lid and the frying basket can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. 2 Clean the housing of the fryer with a moist cloth (with some washing-up liquid) and/or kitchen paper. ◗ You can clean the timer with a moist cloth. Storage 1 Let the oil or fat cool down for at least 4 hours before cleaning or moving the fryer. 2 Put all parts back into/onto the fryer and close the lid. 3 Push the cord into the cord storage compartment (fig. 16). 4 Lift the fryer by its handles and store it (fig. 17). Frying tips - For an overview of preparation times and frying temperatures, see the food table at the end of this booklet. - Carefully shake off as much ice and water as possible and dab the food to be fried until it is properly dry. - Do not fry very large quantities at one time. Consult the food table at the end of this booklet (the recommended quantity is indicated by - ). Getting rid of unwanted flavours Certain types of food, particularly fish, can give the oil or fat an unpleasant flavour.To neutralise the taste of the oil or fat: 1 Heat the oil or fat to a temperature of 160cC. 2 Put two thin slices of bread or a few sprigs of parsley in the oil. 3 Wait until no more bubbles appear and then scoop the bread or the parsley out of the fryer with a spatula. The oil or fat will now have a neutral taste again. Home-made French fries You will make the tastiest and crispiest French fries in the following way: 1 Use firm potatoes and cut them into sticks. Rinse the sticks with cold water. This will prevent them from sticking to each other during frying.
