Indicator lights

The red main indicator light remains lit as

certain level, heating will resume and the
green indicator light will go out.
Temperature control

Before the appliance is connected to the
mains, it should be cleaned as follows:
The frying container and the inside of the lid
should be wiped with a damp cloth. Remove

Useful facts about deep-frying
Food cooked in oil/fat is especially tasty and
nourishing.
When the food is put into the hot oil, its
pores are immediately sealed as a result of
the high temperature, thereby preventing
fat from entering the food or its juices from
escaping.
In this way, essential proteins, vitamins and
minerals are preserved.
Please observe the following:
1. The quality of over-used oil/fat cannot
be improved by mixing it with fresh oil/
fat. The fresh oil/fat would also be spoilt
after a short while.
2. To prevent the oil from frothing up,
