CookSmart
®
When you are using CookSmart
®
to operate the cooking
zone, a sensor controls the temperature of the pan.
Advantages when frying
▯
The cooking zone only heats up if this is required to
maintain the temperature. This saves energy and
prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
▯
The CookSmart
®
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 oil or grease that is suitable for deep fat frying. If
butter, margarine, extra virgin olive oil, or lard is used,
use 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 cooking zone is higher than
that of the cookware or vice-versa, the frying sensor is
not activated correctly.
