How to save oil
*Do not leave deep fryer on before or after using (the fryer only takes 5 minutes to heat up).
Ù the high temperature destroys the oil also without food
*Limit the temperature at 170 oC instead of 190 oC
Ù life time of oil is extended byapprox. 40 % !
*After each service, pass the oil through a microfilter (optional). This will retain even microscopic particles and can be reused
many time over
