Tips regarding the use of oil or fat in blocks
Use appropriate oil for frying (e.g. vegetable, sunflower, groundnut oil etc.)
or fat in blocks.
Note: Melt the fat in blocks in a separate pan before pouring it to
the oil basin!
Use only oil or fats suitable for high temperature cooking.
Do not mix different types of oil or fat, because they may have different boiling
points.
CAUTION! Risk of burns!
Do not reuse oil, as its lower combustion point means that it may catch fire,
it also is more susceptible to foaming. Moreover there is a risk of increased
smoke release and odour.

CAUTION!
Never start the device without frying oil in the basin.
Always make sure that the oil or fat level is between “MIN“- and “MAX” marks
in the basin.
WARNING!
RISK OF FIRE!
Reducing the oil level below the MIN mark creates an oil ignition hazard.
RISK OF BURNS!
If the oil or fat level is above the MAX mark, it may lead to boiling out of
the hot oil.
Frying of food

•Set the temperature controller to required value (50 °C - 190 °C) turning it clockwise.
•While heating up the red control light comes on, going off when the set temperature
has been reached. When the oil temperature drops the red light comes on again and
the device heats again.
WARNING! Burn hazard!
When in use, the device and oil in the chamber are very hot and the oil is at
risk of catching fire.
Do not allow the device to function for long periods of time!
Immediately after frying set the temperature controller to position “0”.
•For best results, wait until the device has reached the desired temperature and
then place the food product in the oil chamber.
