If you use solid fat for frying, make sure you
take the following precautions:
• Melt the fat in a pan over a low heat.
• Carefully pour the melted fat into the
fryer, taking care not to exceed the MAX
level mark.
• See ‘Instructions for use’.
• If you are going to use the solid fat left
over in the fryer from earlier cooking
operations, make several holes in it
using a fork. When doing this, take care
not to damage the element.
• Next, set the thermostat (8) to 160º,
leave to heat for a minute and then
return the thermostat to ‘0’. Repeat this
operation at intervals of various minutes,
until the fat has melted completely. This
will prevent the build up of excessive
heat which may damage the element.
panel and element in water.
• Fit the control panel again with the
element, taking care to insert it along
the guides on the outer casing (Fig.

micro switch that prevents the fryer from
functioning if the control panel is not
correctly mounted.
