•
Melt the fat in a pan over a low heat.
•
Carefully pour the melted fat into the
fryer, taking care not to exceed the MAX
level mark.
•
See ‘Instructions for use’.

If you are going to use the solid fat left
over in the fryer from earlier cooking
operations, make several holes in it
using a fork. When doing this, take care
not to damage the element.

Next, set the thermostat
(8)
to 160º,
leave to heat for a minute and then
return the thermostat to ‘0’. Repeat this
operation at intervals of various minutes,
until the fat has melted completely. This
