25 Unplug your appliance as soon as you have stopped using it and when you are cleaning it. 26 It is essential that you wait until the oil has cooled down before emptying the oil from the fryer. 27 Do not use this appliance for other than intended use. 28 Any intervention other than cleaning and normal maintenance must be carried out by a service centre. 29 Oil and fat are flammable products. If the oil or fat catches fire, unplug the appliance, cover it with its own lid or a damp cloth to stifle the flame, but never use water.
