Solid Cooking Fats; After Frying - Silvercrest SFM 850 A5 Operating Instructions Manual

Solid cooking fats

To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming too hot, please
take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:
■ When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly, under low
heat, in a normal saucepan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep
fat fryer. Only when this has been done should you insert the plug into a
mains power socket and switch the deep fat fryer on.
■ After use, store the deep fat fryer with the solidified fat at room temperature.
■ If the fat gets too cold, it could splatter out upon re-melting! To avoid this,
pierce a few holes in the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic skewer.
Ensure that you do not damage the frying container coating 2.
■ To melt the fat, plug the appliance into the mains power socket, set the on/
off switch 8 to the "I" position and turn the temperature control 5 to
130˚C. The Power control lamp 7 lights up.
Wait until all of the fat has melted. The Ready control lamp 6 may come on
■
and go out several times during this process. Do not set the desired frying
temperature until all of the fat has melted.
