Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 A damaged deep fat fryer can be dangerous. Check it for visible
signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
 Reliable and safe operation of the deep fat fryer can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electrical supply.
 The electrical safety of this deep fat fryer can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
 Before connecting the deep fat fryer to the mains supply, ensure
that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply.
This data must be checked before connecting the appliance. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 Do not connect the deep fat fryer to the mains electricity supply
by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).
 For safety reasons, this deep fat fryer may only be used after it
has been built in.
 This deep fat fryer must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
 Never open the casing of the deep fat fryer.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 While the deep fat fryer is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 The deep fat fryer is not intended for use with an external timer
switch or a remote control system.
 If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the deep fat fryer must be connected to the
electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suit-
ably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H
05 VV-F (pvc insulated). See "Electrical connection".
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the deep fat
fryer must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. Depending on country this is done in one of several different
ways:
– disconnect the mains fuse, or
– completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is
applicable), or
– switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug from the
socket. Pull by the plug and not by the mains connection cable to
disconnect from the mains electricity supply.
 If the deep fat fryer is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a
door), ensure that the door is never closed whilst the deep fat fryer is
in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture
panel and cause subsequent damage to the deep fat fryer, the hous-
ing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat in-
dicators have gone out.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 Danger of electric shock.
Do not use the deep fat fryer if it is faulty. Switch it off immediately,
disconnect it from the mains electricity supply and contact Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
 The deep fat fryer gets hot when in use and remains hot for some
time after being switched off. The risk of burning is present until the
residual heat indicators have gone out.
 Do not use the deep fat fryer to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects left near the deep fat fryer could
catch fire.
 Overheated fat and oil can ignite and catch fire. Never leave the
deep fat fryer unattended. Do not attempt to extinguish burning oil or
fat with water.
Switch the appliance off and carefully smother the flames with a fire
blanket or with the fryer lid.
 Fire hazard!
Never use naked flames, e.g. an ignited lighter, near the deep fat
fryer.
 Do not cover the deep fat fryer, e.g. with a cloth or protective foil.
The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
The frying basket must only be covered using the cover supplied
with the appliance.
 You could burn yourself on the hot deep fat fryer. Protect your
hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot
pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat
to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding
or burning yourself.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the deep fat fryer, ensure that the cable of the electrical appli-
ance cannot come into contact with the hot deep fat fryer. The insu-
lation on the cable could become damaged.
 The heater element must be lowered before the deep fat fryer is
switched on.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Do not pour hot fat from frying into plastic containers. These will
melt at high temperatures. Only use heat-resistant containers for hot
fat.
 The deep fat fryer must only be used when it has been filled with
oil and without the cover on it.
 Clean or change dirty oil or fat in good time. Oil or fat containing
impurities is liable to catch fire.
 Do not dispose of used cooking oil down the sink. It can damage
pipework and cause blockages in the water pipes.
Dispose of it safely with your household food waste, or ask your
local authority about disposal schemes in your area.
 Handling and cooking food correctly is essential for maintaining
good health. Pｌrease read the tips in "Using the fryer" later on in
this booklet.
 Where several CombiSets are installed side by side:
Hot objects can damage the seal of the cover strip between the ap-
pliances. Do not place hot pans near or on the cover strip.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this deep fat fryer.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.

Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible by law for deleting any personal
data that may be stored on the appli-
ance being disposed of. Please ensure
that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to dis-
posal.

Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this doc-
umentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service, data plate,
guarantee" section of this booklet.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.
Cleaning the CombiSet for the
first time
Fill the oil reservoir to the max.
marker with water (approx. 4litres)
and add a little washing-up liquid.
Turn the control knob in a clockwise
direction to 130°C and bring the wa-
ter briefly to the boil.

Close the drain tap.
Switching on the CombiSet for
the first time
The metal components have a protect-
ive coating which when heated for the
first time will give off a slight smell and
possibly some vapours.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or ap-
pliance and they are not hazardous to
health.

Operation
17
Fryer lid
To remove the fryer lid press the
cover on the left or right hand side
with your finger .
Use your other hand to lift the cover
up at the back .
Do not replace the lid until the deep
fat fryer is cold. Danger of burning!
Control knob
Do not turn the control to "0" by
turning it past 200°C.
Switching on
Fire hazard.
Do not leave the deep fat fryer unat-
tended when you are using it!
Do not switch the deep fat fryer on
when it is empty or with the heating
element raised up.
Turn the control clockwise to the re-
quired temperature.
The in-operation indicator and the tem-
perature indicator will light up. The re-
sidual heat indicator will light up after a
certain temperature has been reached.
The temperature indicator light will
switch on and off intermittently in con-
junction with the heating element. It
will only light up when the heating ele-
ment is on.
Switching off
Turn the control anti-clockwise to 0.

Operation
18
Residual heat indicator
If the deep fat fryer is still hot, the resid-
ual heat indicator will light up after it
has been switched off.
The residual heat indicator remains on
until the deep fat fryer is cool enough to
touch.
Danger of burning.
Do not touch the deep fat fryer while
the residual heat indicator is on.
Before frying
Do not use the fryer lid when deep
fat frying.
Only use oil and fat that has a high
flash point. Liquid or solid fat can be
used.
Never mix different types of oil or fat
together.
The oil reservoir must be filled with suf-
ficient oil or fat for frying (at least 3litres
or 3kg, maximum 4litres or 4kg).
Check that the drain tap is closed.
Fill the oil reservoir with oil/fat. Solid
fat should be cut up into small pieces
first.
When re-using fat that has solidified
in the reservoir, make a hole in the fat
as far as the heating element. This al-
lows any water which has collected
under the fat to evaporate.
Turn the control to 100°C and wait
until the fat has melted.
Check the level in the reservoir. This
needs to be between the minimum
and maximum level markers at the
back of the reservoir.

Operation
19
Frying
Set the temperature required (see
chart) and wait until the temperature
indicator goes out for the first time.
The oil has now reached the set tem-
perature.
Carefully lower the frying basket con-
taining the food to be fried into the
hot oil. If the oil froths a lot, lift the
basket out of the oil briefly and then
slowly lower it into the hot oil again.
When the food has cooked, lift the
basket out of the hot oil. Shake the
basket a little to remove any excess
oil, and then hang it on its bracket.
Do not leave food suspended over
the reservoir for too long as steam
from the oil can cause the food to
lose it crispness. Finally, place the
food onto kitchen paper towel to
soak up any excess oil.
Whilst frying food make sure you do
not touch the hot oil. Protect your
hands in particular, e.g. by wearing
heat-resistant oven gloves.
