RECOMMENDATIONS
Ufesa recommends the use of oil instead
of fat when using this appliance in Fryer
Mode.. If solid fat/lard is being used then
you should follow the instructions below
to prevent it from splashing as it melts.
1. Before the first fry, melt the pieces of
fat in a separate saucepan on a low heat.
2. Pour the liquid fat into the fryer's pan.
Avoid splashing it.
3. Check that the liquid fat covers the
minimum level mark. Switch the fryer on
and start cooking.
When solid fat which has been used for
frying has solidified in the fryer, proceed
in the following fashion:
1. Make some holes in the solidified fat
using a sharp object.
2. Close the lid on the fryer and select a
low temperature so that the fat softens up
slowly.
3. As soon as the fat has liquefied the
temperature can be brought up higher.
Note Note
Note Note: If your fryer contains solidified fat, Note
store it at room temperature.

REPLACING THE OIL

The useful life for oil or fat depends on
the number of uses and type of frying. It
is advisable to periodically filter the oil in
order to remove any impurities.
Always store the fryer with the lid fitted;
to stop dust or other elements from
spoiling the oil or fat.
Replace the oil when it becomes dark,
produces a bad smell or gives the food a
bad taste.
Never add fresh oil or fat to that being
used. Pour the oil away via the pouring
lip.
Used oil or fat must never be poured
down the toilet or sink.
Dispose of it in a sealed container and take
it along to the appropriate refuse
collection point.

USEFUL TIPS

• Foodstuffs should be completely dry
before immersing them into oil or fat.
• To stop chips from sticking together
wash them before frying.
• It is advisable to fry foodstuffs that
contain a lot of water, such as chips, in
two stages:
Heat the oil up to maximum temperature
and put the food in for five minutes.
Drain it off and wait until the oil has
reached maximum temperature again and
then return the food so that it can finish
browning off.
• It is not necessary to defrost food
beforehand, although it is advisable to fry
frozen food in two stages.
