The element only heats up if this is required to
▯
maintain the temperature. This saves energy and
prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
The AutoChef
function reports when the empty frying

pan has reached the optimum temperature for adding
oil and then for adding the food.

Place the pan in the centre of the element. Make
▯
sure that the base of the pan has the proper
diameter.
