14 Frying sensor function
If you are frying food, use this function to maintain the
suitable pan temperature. The cooking zones that have
this function are identified by the roasting sensor func-
tion symbol.
14.1 Advantages when frying

pan has reached the optimum temperature for
adding oil and then for adding the food.
Notes
¡
Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the func-
tion is not activated correctly. Use a splatter guard

using butter, margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or
lard, use temperature setting or .
¡
Never leave a frying pan unattended during heating,
regardless of whether or not it contains food.
