Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor function
With the frying sensor function, you can prepare food in
the pan with a little bit of oil.
This function is available for all burners.
Advantages
▯
The burner only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Do not overheat oil or grease.
▯
When the empty pan reaches the optimum
temperature for adding oil or food, a signal sounds.
Notes
‒
Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the
function does not activate correctly. You can use a
splatter screen to prevent splashes of grease.
‒
Use oil or grease that is suitable for deep-frying. If
butter, margarine, extra virgin olive oil, or lard is
used, set heat setting 1 or 2.
‒
Never leave a frying pan, with or without food,
unattended when it is being heated.
‒
If the temperature of the burner is higher than that
of the cookware or vice-versa, the temperature
sensor is not activated correctly.
‒
Always use the cooking sensor function for frying
with a large quantity of oil. "Deep-frying with a large
quantity of oil in a pan," at 340-355° F
(170-180° C).
