Frying sensor function
18
The triple size cooking zone features a frying
sensor function. The frying sensor controls the
temperature of the pan. The heating element only
heats up when necessary. This is an energy-saving
feature. Oil and fat will not overheat.
The frying sensor can only be used with the middle
combination (ø 21 cm). The middle combination is
activated automatically when switching on the frying
sensor.
Important notes
Never leave fat to heat up while unattended.
Always place the pan in the centre of the heating
element. Make sure the diameter of the bottom of
the pan is correct.
Do not place a lid on the pan. The frying sensor will
not work if you do. You can use a mesh splatter
guard.
Use the frying level min when using olive oil. When
using oil or fat that is suitable for frying at high
temperatures (e.g. refined plant oil or concentrated
butter) you can use all frying levels.
Frying sensor pan
A specially adapted frying pan for the frying sensor
is available from your specialist dealer or through
www.gaggenau.com
The frying levels provided in the frying table are
designed for the frying sensor pan. The frying
sensor might also work with pans you already own.
First test the pan at low frying levels and then
adjust the level if necessary. The pan may overheat
at higher frying levels.
Frying levels
You can choose four frying levels depending on the
food to be prepared:
min low temperature
(for example omelets, onions)
med low-medium temperature
(thick pan fried foods such as
meatballs, sausages and fish)
med plus medium-high temperature
(thin pan fried foods such as cutlets,
breaded frozen products, meat or
vegetable stir fry)
max high temperature
(for example potato pancakes,
pan-fried potatoes, beef steaks,
rare)
