1.2 Safety instructions
Electrical Current
•Too high a mains voltage or incorrect installation may cause electric shock.
•The appliance may be connected only if data on the rating plate correspond with
the mains voltage.
•To avoid short-circuit, the appliance should be kept dry.
•If there are malfunctions during operation, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
•Do not touch the appliance’s plug with wet hands.
•Never take hold of the appliance if it has fallen into water. Immediately
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•Any repairs or housing opening may be carried out by professionals and
relevant workshops only.
•Do not transport the appliance, holding it by the power cord.
•Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with heat sources or sharp
edges.
•Do not bend, pinch nor knot the power cord.

Safety
4 / 26 162650
EN
•Always completely unwind the power cord.
•Never place the appliance or other objects on the power cord.
•Always take hold of the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•Check the power cord regularly for damage. Do not use the appliance if the
power cord is damaged. If this cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
customer service or a qualified electrician in order to avoid dangers.
Flammable Materials
•Never subject the appliance to contact with high temperature sources, e.g.:
oven, furnace, open flame, heat generating devices, etc.
•To avoid fire hazard, clean the appliance regularly.
•Do not cover the appliance with, e.g., aluminium foil or cloths.
•Use the appliance only with materials designated to this end and with correct
temperature settings. Materials, groceries and left-overs remaining in the
appliance may catch fire.
•Never use the appliance near flammable or inflammable materials, e.g.: petrol,
spirit, alcohol, etc. High temperature triggers evaporation of these materials,
and, as a result of contact with sources of ignition, an explosion may occur.
•In case of fire, disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
attempting suitable fire-extinguishing actions.
•Never attempt to extinguish fire with water if the appliance is connected to the
power supply. Following extinction of fire, ensure sufficient fresh air inflow.
Safety during deep fat frying
•Never leave the operating appliance without supervision. Possible malfunctions
may lead to overheating and ignition of frying oil / fat in cubes (blocks).
•If due to overheating, the frying oil / fat in cubes (blocks) catches fire, put the lid
on and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•Spatters or outbursts of hot oil/fat may cause scalding of hands, arms and face.
Use protective kitchen mitts.
•Do not use wet nor humid products. Dry them before use. Remove excess of ice
from deep frozen products prior to frying them.
•Do not hang frozen food in the basket over the tank filled with hot frying oil / fat
in cubes (blocks). When deep frying in fat, even the smallest drop of water may
cause spatters of hot oil or even small outbursts.
Hot Surfaces

Safety

5 Installation and operation
5.1 Installation
CAUTION!
Incorrect installation, positioning, operation, maintenance or misuse of
the appliance may lead to personal injury or property damage.
Positioning and installation, as well as repairs may be performed by
authorised technical service only and in compliance with the applicable
national law.
NOTE!
The manufacturer disclaims all liability and provides no warranty for
damages, which may be attributed to non-observance of regulations or
incorrect installation.
Unpacking / Positioning
•Unpack the appliance, remove all external and internal packaging elements and
shipment safeguards.
CAUTION!
Choking hazard!
Prevent children from accessing package materials, for instance: plastic
bags and EPS.
•If the appliance is covered with a protective film, remove it. Remove the film
slowly, so no glue residues are left. Remove any glue residues with the use of a
suitable solvent.
•Be careful not to damage the rating plate and warning labels fixed on the
appliance.
•Never place the appliance in humid or wet environment.
•Place the appliance in a way making the connections easily accessible, so that
they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
•The appliance should be placed on surfaces that are:
–even, with sufficient bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and resistant
to high temperatures;

Installation and operation
16 / 26 162650
EN
–sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no
problems;
–easily accessible;
–well ventilated.
•Fix the enclosed feet to the appliance by screwing them into the provided
openings.
•Compensate for smaller unevenness in the place of installation through
screwing the feet in and out.
•Maintain sufficient clearance from table edges. The appliance might turn over
and fall down.
•Leave at least 20 cm clearance from flammable walls and items.
Electric Connection
•Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that voltage
and frequency values on the rating plate are conforming to the existing electric
installation.
The allowable voltage deviation is ±10%.
•Make sure that appropriate connection with protection conductor is available,
conforming to the valid regulations. Use a cord of sufficient cross section for
connection to the power supply.
•Between the appliance and electric supply grid must be installed an active multi-
pole breaker, suitable for the power of the appliance. The breaker must be

WARNING!
Fire hazard!
Operation of the appliance with the oil level below MIN mark may lead to
overheating of frying oil and cause oil to catch fire.
The oil level should be between MIN and MAX marks on the side wall of a
tank.
If overheated during operation, the frying oil or fat in cubes (blocks)
may catch fire.
The appliance should not remain in use for extended periods of time.
During breaks between subsequent frying processes, the temperature
control knob should be set to lower values.
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
Due to lower flashpoint, old oil that had already been used for frying,
exhibits a tendency for self-ignition and favours frothing.
Do not use old oil for frying. Regularly change frying oil.
When the oil level is above the MAX mark during operation of the
appliance, hot oil may spill out.
The oil level should be between MIN and MAX marks on the side wall of a
tank.
If the basket is overfilled with products for frying, the frying oil or fat in
cubes (blocks) may boil over.
Observe the maximum allowable level of filling the basket with products
for frying.
If water enters hot frying oil, it may cause spatters of oil and scalding.
Use only dry products for frying.
When deep frying in fat, even drops of water under the lid may cause
spatters of hot oil or even small outbursts.
Never place the lid on during or immediately after the frying process.
The lid is used only for protection against dirt or for keeping the
temperature of frying oil / fat in cubes (blocks) in the case of possible
interruptions of operation.

Installation and operation
18 / 26 162650
EN
Before placing the lid, make sure that it is dry, so that no water drips into
the tank.
When pouring hot frying oil / fat in cubes (blocks) be aware of the risk
of burns.
Cool the frying oil / fat in cubes (blocks) before pouring.
CAUTION!
The deep fat fryer can only be used by individuals who have been
instructed in the proper use of the appliance and hazards that may arise
during the frying process.
Appliance Preparation
1. Remove the equipment from the appliance (lid, deep frying basket, sieve for
breadcrumb coating).
2. Before use, thoroughly clean the appliance and equipment according to
instructions in section 6 'Cleaning'. Then thoroughly dry the appliance and the
entire equipment.
3. After cleaning, lower the heating element using the lever for setting the drip
position by pulling it down.
ATTENTION!
For safety reasons, the appliance operates only when the heating element
is properly lowered in the basin, so that the microswitch enables the
appliance to be ready for operation.
