PreClean function

This appliance is equipped with a PreClean function, which enables you to soak the inner bowl with

button for at least seconds to activate the PreClean function. (Fig. )

The water is heated to 80°C for 0 minutes to soak the inner bowl. This makes it easier for

you to clean the bowl. (Fig. )

sealing ring to guarantee optimal functioning (Fig. 25).

Clean the glass lid in the dishwasher or in hot water with some washing-up liquid every time

change the oil or fat more often.

Never use the same oil or fat longer than 6 months and always follow the instructions on the

package.

Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat.

Never mix different types of oil or fat.

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.
Disposing of used oil or fat
