Mount the shield on the heating element.

There may be no water at the bottom of the basin before filling it with the frying oil or
fat in blocks. The basin must be clean and dry.
Tips regarding the use of oil or fat in blocks
Use appropriate oil for frying (e.g. vegetable, sunflower, groundnut oil etc.)
or fat in blocks.
Use only oil or fats suitable for high temperature cooking.
Do not mix different types of oil or fat, because they may have different boiling
points.
CAUTION! Risk of burns!
Do not use stale oil/fat, as a lowered flash point increases a risk of self-ignition
and the oil tends to foam more and it also emits more smoke and unpleasant
odour.
Tips regarding melting of fat in blocks
In the deep fat fryer
Remove the basket and heating element shield.
Place blocks of fat directly on the heating element so that it is completely
covered.
In order to switch the device on follow the instructions in section „Switching
the device on“.
Set the temperature dial in the melting point position
and wait until the fat
melts off.
When the heating element is covered with liquid fat, you can set the temperature
controller to the maximum temperature. Place more blocks of fat in the basin for
melting in order to reach the appropriate level of fat in the basin.
Next, carefully place the shield on the heating element.
WARNING! Risk of burns!
Oil/fat splashes may cause burns of hands, arms and face!
