Thermal safety cut-out
Should the level of oil or broth fall below the
safe operating level, the integral thermal
safety cut-out will be activated and the
heating element will switch off. If this occurs,
allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool
down, then add the required amount of oil
or broth.
Should the safety cut-out be activated
repeatedly despite having sufficient oil or
broth in the container, the appliance must no
longer be used; instead, have it examined by
a qualified person before it is used again.
Before using for the first time
Before first use, the unit should be cleaned
as described in the section General care and
cleaning
Oil/Fat container
General
Before heating up, the fill amount must be
between the minimum and maximum fill
level marks.
Note: the difference between the minimum
and maximum marks is approx. 470ml.
Oil:
We recommend the use of oil specifically
intended for deep-frying which may be
safely heated to high temperatures. The
maximum safe capacity of the container
is approx. 950 ml. Do not exceed the
maximum mark.
Solidified fat:
Never melt solidified fat in an empty unit.
However, solidified fat may be added
straight into the container if it already
contains liquid fat at least up to the
minimum mark.
With solidified fat, approx. 950 g should
be used. The fat should be cut into
smaller pieces first and melted in a
separate pot, ensuring that it just reaches
a liquid state but is not over-heated: this
is to avoid the danger of burns when
pouring the fat into the frying container
afterwards. Do not exceed the maximum
mark.
Deep-fryer operation
Only pure vegetable oil/fat should be used,
which can be heated up to 220° C and is
neutral in taste.
Do not mix different kinds of oil/fat.
Fondue operation
Use only broth or pure vegetable oil. The fat
must be suitable for raising to high
temperatures and neutral in taste. Types of
fat that tend to spatter or smoke when
heated are not suitable. Other oil or animal
fats should therefore not be used.
