Healthy Nutrition; Overheat Protection - Silvercrest KH 2001 Operating Instructions Manual

Healthy Nutrition

Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable
oils and fats containing unsaturated fatty acids (e.g.
Linol acid). However, these oils and fats lose their
positive characteristics faster than other oils and
must therefore be exchanged more frequently.
Orientate yourself on the following guidelines:
• Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the
deep fryer mainly to prepare chips and strain
the oil or fat after every use, it can be used 10
to 12 times.
• However, do not use an oil or fat for longer than
six months. Always follow the instruction given
on the packaging.
• As a general rule, oils and fats can be used for
a lesser time if you mainly fry foods with lots of
proteins, such as meat or fish.
• Do not mix fresh oil with old oil.
• Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated,
it develops a strong taste or odour, it becomes
dark and/or it develops a syrupy consistency.

Overheat Protection

In a case of overheating, the heat protection function
switches the appliance off.
This can happen if there is no, or not sufficient, oil or
fat in the deep fryer or when solid cooking fats are
being molten in the appliance.
With solid cooking fats the heating element cannot
disburse the heat created fast enough.
If the heat protection function has switched the ap-
pliance off, please proceed as follows:
• Allow the appliance to cool down.
• Allow the oil or fat to cool down.
• Carefully press the reset button e on the rear
side of the operating element 5 with a small
pointed object. The appliance can now be used
again.
