[. . . ] Never put the appliance, the power cord or the plug into water or any other liquid. The power cord must never be in close proximity to or in contact with the hot parts of your appliance, close to a source of heat or rest on sharp edges. To avoid any risk, they must be replaced by an approved Moulinex service centre (see list in service booklet). [. . . ] When the oil has reached the correct temperature, slowly lower the basket into the oil from the draining position If your fryer is fitted with a timer: Press the button and the display "00" will light up (J1). continue to press the button until the required time appears (see cooking charts). Once you let go of the button the count down will commence (the display will flash). Unpack your fryer and keep your proof of purchase, then read the instructions for use carefully. remove the protective wrapper from the Charcoal cartridge (depending on model) (A4) and place the filter in the drawer (A5). Wash the basket with hot water and washing up liquid, rinse and dry carefully. If you make an error, reset the timer to "00" by holding down the button for a few seconds, and start again. Note: The timer signals the end of the cooking time but does not turn off the fryer. When the cooking is finished, raise the basket and place it in the draining position. Don't forget to switch off your fryer, by returning the selector to "s" then by pressing the On/Off switch Open the lid and serve the food. Notes: If you need to fry several lots of food in succession, wait until the temperature regulator light (H) has gone out before putting the next batch of food into the oil. To avoid any risk of burns, never put your hands above the odour filtration zone (A2). dEALING WITH ODOURS The activated carbon anti-odour cartridge (models AKE3 - AKE4 AKE5) is highly effective against odours and grease. Depending on the type and weight of foods being fried, it will remain effective for 30 to 40 uses. When the saturation indicator, turns from pink to light grey, change the filter. the anti-odour filter (models AKE1 AKE2) remains effective for 10 to 15 uses. Take out the "Clean Express" drawer (A5), and turn it upside down while holding it over the bin: the filter will fall out. Place the new filter into the drawer with the black side facing upwards. [. . . ] When you change the oil, take the opportunity to clean your removable bowl in the dishwasher or in hot water with washing up liquid. Damage to the bowl by not following these guidelines is not covered in the guarantee. Scratches inside the removable bowl or brown marks on the exterior may appear naturally if you use the appliance frequently. [. . . ]
