14 Frying sensor function
If you are frying food, use this function to maintain the
suitable pan temperature. The cooking zones that have
this function are identified by the roasting sensor func-
tion symbol.
14.1 Advantages when frying
¡
The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature.
This saves energy and prevents the oil or fat from
overheating.
¡
The frying sensor function reports when the empty
frying pan has reached the optimum temperature for
adding oil and then for adding the food.
Notes
¡
Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the func-
tion is not activated correctly. Use a splatter guard
to prevent fat from spitting out.
¡
Use oil or fat that is suitable for stir fries. If you are
using butter, margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or
lard, use temperature setting 1 or 2.
¡
Never leave a frying pan unattended during heating,
regardless of whether or not it contains food.
¡
If the cooking zone is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the frying sensor is not ac-
tivated correctly.
