Do not switch on the appliance before you have filled it with oil or fat, as this can damage the appliance. If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific evidence available today. We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat. Preferably use vegetable oil or fat that is rich in unsaturated fats (e. Linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunflower oil. Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you have to change the oil or fat regularly (after 10-12 times). Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or taste or if it turns dark and/or syrupy. Solid fat You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged. 12) During frying, the temperature light comes on and goes out from time to time to indicate that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature.
