Preparing oil/ fat
It is advised that never mix dierent types of oil or fat. We recommended you to
use frying oil or liquid frying fat.
Ensure that the oil/fat is not contaminated with water, for example from frozen
products, this will cause excessive spa ering.
Never use the fryer without oil or fat as this will damage the appliance.
Never pour any liquid, such as water, in the pan.
Using solid fat entails the risk of trapping water in the fat which will cause it to
spa
er violently when heated up. If you intent to use solid frying fat, the following
steps must be taken to prevent the fat from spa
ering.
1. Put the blocks of fat into normal pan and melt it rst with a low heat.
2. Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
3. If the solid fat is solidified from last frying oper punch some holes into the
solidied fat with a fork.
