Then slowly lower the basket (I) into the oil again. "OIL COUNTER" FUNCTION This function monitors the length of time the oil has been used and automatically indicates when it should be replaced. [. . . ] Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be crumbed before frying, making sure the excess flour or breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil. When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. Then, when the set temperature has been reached, immerse the food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket. When referring to the following table, please keep in mind that the cooking times and temperatures are approximate, and must be adjusted according to the quantity of food and personal tastes.
