Silvercrest SKF 2300 A16 operating instructions After Frying, Solid Cooking Fats, Timer

Note:

The frying process can be overseen through the viewing window 1 in the appliance lid.

Solid Cooking Fats

To avoid a spraying of the fat and that the appliance becomes too hot, please take the following precau- tions when using solid frying fat:

•When replacing old fat with fresh, first melt the fresh blocks of fat slowly, under low heat, in a separate pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fryer. When this has been done, insert the power plug into a socket and switch the deep fryer on.

•After use, store the deep fryer with the solidified fat at room temperatures.

If the fat is too cold, it can splatter on remelting! To avoid this, use a wooden or plastic implement to make some holes in the re-solidified fat. Ensure that the heating element is not damaged when doing this.

•To melt the fat, switch the appliance on with the on/off switch 0 and set the temperature dial 8 at 130˚C. The lamp integrated into the on/off switch 0 comes on.

•Wait until all the fat has melted. Thereby, the green indicator lamp 9 can, on occasion, go out and light up again. First set the required frying temperature when all of the fat has melted.
