Preparing For Use; Solid Fat; Using The Appliance - Philips Cucina HD6150/80 Manual De Instrucciones

preparing for use

1 Clean the appliance before first use (see chapter 'Cleaning').
 Open the lid. (Fig. )
 Consult the oil/fat table to determine how much oil or fat you should put in the fryer. (Fig. )
 Fill the fryer with oil, liquid fat or melted solid fat to a level between the 'MIN' and 'MAX'
indications and close the lid. (Fig. 5)
Do not switch the appliance on before you have filled it with oil or fat.
oil and fat
Never mix different types of oil or fat and never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.
We advise you to use frying oil or liquid frying fat, preferably vegetable oil or fat that is rich in
unsaturated fats (e.g. linoleic acid), such as soy oil, peanut oil, maize oil or sunflower oil.
Because oil and fat lose their favourable properties rather quickly, you should change the oil or fat
regularly (after 10-12 times).
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.

solid fat

You can also use solid frying fat. In that case, extra precautions are necessary to prevent the fat from
spattering and the heating element from overheating or becoming damaged.
1 If you want to use new blocks of fat, melt them slowly over a low heat in a normal pan.
 Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.
 Store the fryer with the resolidified fat still in it at room temperature.
 If the fat gets very cold, it may start spattering when it melts. Punch some holes into the
resolidified fat with a fork to prevent this. (Fig. 6)
Be careful not to damage the inner bowl with the fork.
