Caution: If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil reservoir, there is a risk of warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from below through the still solid top layer of fat. Therefore use only the following procedure:

•Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is very cold, there is a greater risk of splashing.

•Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat. Make sure the cover is securely closed while fat is melting. Heat fat slowly - on lowest temperature setting.
