Frying sensor
This function maintains the appropriate temperature in
the frying pan when you are frying food.
Advantages when frying
▯
The hotplate only heats up if this is required to
maintain the temperature. This saves energy and
prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
▯
The frying function reports when the empty 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
function does not activate correctly. You can use a
splash guard to prevent splashes of grease.
–
Use suitable oil or fat for 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 hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the frying sensor will not be
activated correctly.

sensor are available. This optional accessory can be

Ensure that the diameter of the base of the frying
pan corresponds to the size of the hotplate. Place
the frying pan in the centre of the hotplate.
