OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using Solid Fat
Warning:
Do not put solid shortening in
the oil container or the frying basket.
•
If using solid vegetable shortening, melt
it first in a separate pan and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil
container.
•
Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
Warning:
If you try to melt the solidified
fat in the oil container, 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 lid is securely
closed while the fat is melting. Press
the temperature select button two (2)
times to select the second temperature
setting of 325° F. The unit will
display "_ _" to indicate a constant boil.
Press power button to turn unit off when
fat has melted.
