When fresh fat/lard in blocks or pieces is being

cable fully out of the cable compartment maks s
ing sure that it is not touching any nearby heat
sources

RECOMMENDATIONS
Ufesa recommends the use of oil instead of fat
when using this appliance. Solid fat can also be
used but special precautions should be taken to
stop it from splashing when it is melting.
Do the following when using solid fat for frying:
1. Before the first fry, melt the fat for the fryer in
a separate saucepan on a low heat.
2. Pour the liquid fat into the fryer's pan. Avoid
splashing it.
3. Check that the liquid fat covers the minimum
level mark. Switch the fryer on and carry out the
frying.
