“moist heat” and with “slow overnight cooking at low
temperature”.
Observe the filling
mark!
Inappropriate use (filling food over the filling mark
or at 100% output in the continued cooking
phase) is dangerous and can cause scalding from hot
food that spills over the side of the appliance.

the min. and max. fat filling marks. Add fat when the
level is below the min. fat filling mark. The following
marks are engraved inside the basin:
max. filling mark
max. fat filling mark*)
min. fat filling mark*)
Shallow float-frying*)
The appliance must be installed with a distance of at
least 900mm to devices that contain water. If this is

X101923E 3
not possible, splash protection with a height of at
least 350mm must be installed.
Never add water to hot fat. Fat can ignite immediately
danger of fire!

ELRO drain valve when it is cold.
Lower and raise baskets slowly to avoid spilling of hot
fat.
Fire hazard! Always use fresh fat. Old fat has a lower
ignition point and promotes foaming over.
Food that is too wet, or in large quantities has an
influence on foaming over of fat danger of burning!
Adding food that contains water causes a high risk of
fat splashing.
