Advantages when frying
The cooking element only heats when it is necessary.
This saves energy. Oil and grease do not overheat.
CAUTION
9
Never leave oil or fat cooking unattended.
▯
Place the pan in the centre of the element. Make
▯
sure that the base of the pan has the proper
diameter.
Do not cover the pan with a lid. The automatic
▯
regulation will not work. A mash splatter guard
can be used without affecting the automatic
regulation.
Only use fat or oil that is suitable for frying. When
▯
you are using butter, margarine, olive oil or pork
lard, select the min temperature setting.
AutoChef™ is not suitable for boiling.
