If you fry many chips, some water accumulate on the body of the pan. To prevent overflow, please drain out 1-2 litres of oil after use and put it
into hot oil.

Do not leave deep fryer on before or after using (the fryer only takes 5 minutes to heat up).
*
Ù the high temperature destroys the oil also without food
*
Limit the temperature at 170
o
C instead of 190 oC

After each service, pass the oil through a microfilter (optional). This will retain even microscopic particles and can be reused
