Cooking advice
Frying function
This function is used for frying on the front hotplates, regulating
the temperature of the pan.
Deep-frying features
The hotplate only heats when necessary. This way energy is
saved. The oil and fat do not overheat.
Notes
■
Never leave oil or fat cooking unattended.
■
Place the pan at the centre of the hotplate. Ensure that the
base of the pan is the right diameter.
■
Do not cover the pan with a lid. Doing so will cause the
automatic regulation not to function. A protective screen may
be used without affecting the automatic regulation
■
Only use oil which is suitable for frying. If using butter,
margarine, olive oil or pork lard, select the
min
temperature
setting.
Pans to use with the deep-frying function

available. Use only this type of pan. Otherwise the temperature
regulator will not function. The pans may overheat.
