Thermal safety cut-out
Should the oil/fat level fall below the safe level
for operation, the integral thermal safety cut-
out will be activated and the heating element
is switched off. If this occurs, allow suffi cient
time for the appliance to cool down, then
add the required amount of oil/fat. Use the
reset button on the rear of the housing below
the control panel to reset the safety cut-out.
Push the button in with a suitable wooden or
plastic rod. The appliance is now ready for
use again.
Should the safety cut-out be activated
repeatedly despite a suffi cient amount of oil/
fat in the frying container, the appliance must
no longer be used; please have it examined
by a qualifi ed person before it is used again.

as described in General care and cleaning
Lid
Always use the lid handle when taking off or

Inspection window
The inspection window is helpful when
monitoring the frying process. To prevent
condensation from water vapour, a little
oil should be applied to the inside of the
window.
Temperature control
The temperature control is used to select the
desired temperature level
Indicator lamps
The red indicator lamp is on while the
appliance is heating up.
The green indicator lamp lights up on once
the pre-set temperature level has been
reached.
Frying container
The recess below the heating element acts
as a cooling area where residual particles
resulting from the frying process, as well
as other impurities, are collected. The
circulation of the oil/fat results in a lower
temperature level around the recess area.
