When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or this appliance in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Call our Consumer Service Department for examination.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord in the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off," then remove plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14. Extreme caution must be used when moving fryer containing hot oil.

15. Be sure handles are properly assembled to basket and locked in place. See detailed assembly instructions.

16.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. The oil level must always be between the MIN and MAX markings.
2. Do not overload the basket. For safety reasons never exceed the maximum quantity.
3. Never operate your fryer without any oil or fat.

4. The cooking times are given as guidelines only.

5. The oil must be filtered regularly and changed after 8 to 12 uses.

6. Do not mix different types of shortening or oils.
7. If you use solid vegetable shortening, cut it into pieces and melt it over slow heat in a separate pot beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer pot. Never pour shortening directly into the deep fryer pot or basket as this will lead to deterioration of the appliance.
8. If the fryer has a removable pot, never remove it while the deep fryer is on.
9. If you have any problems, contact the Consumer Service Department or visit internet address www.t-fal.com.
10. Caution: Overtightening can result in stripping of screws or nuts or cracking of handle or feet.
11. Please check the tightening of the handles and feet screws every 25 uses or 4 times per year.

Polarization instructions

If this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) it is to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord instructions

Do not use with an extension cord. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Magnetic connector: (depending on model)

The cord is equipped with a detachable magnetic connector. The magnetic connector should be attached directly to the fryer. THIS SHOULD BE DONE PRIOR TO PLUGGING THE CORD INTO THE WALL OUTLET.

FOR HOUSEHOLD

USE ONLY

Warning: Possible eruption. Water's reaction to hot oil is extremely volatile. Please ensure, no matter what the recipe states, food must be dried thoroughly before immersing in hot oil.

Filtration, drainage and automatic storage of oil/shortening

Your fryer is fitted with an exclusive and patented system for filtration and automatic drainage, suitable for most types of oils and shortenings used for cooking.

● The drainage of oil is completely automatic and safe.
- The automatic patented filtration system ensures your oil/shortening stays clean and lasts longer for healthier frying.
- The Oil box container enables you to store your oil and keep it until you next want to use it and to avoid any transfer of flavors.

Ultra easy cleaning

Your fryer is easy to handle and to dismantle.

●All the parts (except the control unit) are dishwasher safe.
●Thanks to the patented automatic filtration and oil storage system, your fryer can go into the dishwasher after each use, making it clean as new after each use.

- Fill the bowl with oil.

The oil level should always be between the MIN and MAX level of the bowl.

Do not exceed the maximum fill line as boiling oil may overflow during frying and can cause severe burns.

- For best results we recommend vegetable oil.

- If you use solid vegetable shortening:

Cut it into small pieces, melt it in a separate pan then pour the melted shortening into the fryer bowl.

Never use different types of oil at the same time as this may cause the oil to overflow.

Never melt the shortening on the heating element or in the frying basket. If you melt the shortening on the heating element or in the frying basket, the safety cut-out would be activated. Press the "reset" button, which is located at the back of the fryer.

- Place food in the basket without overfilling. Notice the MAX food level marking on the basket.

Reduce the quantities for frozen foods.

• After the temperature light has gone off, place and lower the basket slowly into the frying oil. Plunging the basket too rapidly in the oil may cause it to overflow.
- Put the lid on the fryer.

Do not plug in the fryer without oil.

No matter what the recipe, food must be dried thoroughly before frying. This will prevent the oil overflowing and extend the life of the oil.

During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to go on and off.

- Frying is complete when the cooking time has elapsed and food is of the desired color and texture.

- Remove the lid. Allow excess oil to drain by hooking the basket on the support on the inner bowl.

- Serve.

- When you have finished frying foods, set the On/Off switch on the O position.

- Unplug the appliance and let it cool for about 3 hours. For filtering and draining the oil, see the section on Cleaning and Maintenance.

Do not touch the fryer when it is in use as it will be extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Steam coming from the filter is also extremely hot.

Cooking tables

The cooking times are a guide only. They could vary depending on quantity, taste, electricity supply etc...

It is important to fry hand made French fries twice for best results and to prevent the oil from overflowing: - a first cycle at 320 °F/160 °C - a second cycle at 374 °F/190 °C For safety and for the crispiest results, dry food items thoroughly before frying, especially frozen foods and freshly made fries. Large pieces of chicken or large fries need a longer cooking time. Set the temperature thermostat according to the table below, or follow the instructions on food packaging. Cooking tip: To prevent food from sticking together, do not use the basket when cooking battered foods or doughnuts.
