6.10 AutoChef®
With the AutoChef® function, a sensor controls the tem-
perature of the pan. You can fry while the pan maintains
the selected temperature.
Advantages when using the AutoChef® function:
¡ 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 overheat-
ing.
¡ The frying function reports when the empty frying pan
has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil
and then for adding the food.
General notes for using the AutoChef® function:
¡ Do not place a lid on the frying pan. This will prevent the
function from activating correctly. Use a splatter guard
to prevent fat from spitting out.
¡ Use suitable oil or fat. If you are using butter, mar-
garine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use temperature
setting 1 or 2.
Frying levels
The AutoChef® function offers 5 frying levels.
