regularly.To do so, follow the instructions below.

can re-use the oil or fat 10 to 12 times before it needs to be changed. If you use the fryer to
prepare food that is rich in proteins (such as meat or fish), you should change the oil or fat more
often.

Never use the same oil or fat longer than 6 months and always follow the instructions on the
package.

Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
◗
Never mix different types of oil or fat.

Always change the oil or fat if it starts foaming when it is heated, if it has a strong smell or
taste or if it turns dark and/or syrupy.
