3. Advice on correct use of the appliance
3.1 General advice
This is a technical appliance which is exclusively made for industrial use and operation under supervision.
These Deep Fat Fryers are only intended for commercial cooking. Usual instructions of canteen kitchens
should be considered as well.
The appliance should only be operated in a sufficiently ventilated room.
Technical modifications of the appliance without a prior written authorisation by the manufacturer are not
allowed and result in a total loss of warranty. The product liability of the manufacturer invalidates
immediately.
These instructions must be announced to all employees concerned when they are trained in how to use
the appliance.
3.2 Security advice on operation, cleaning and repair
During operation the frying basins must be filled with fat or oil at least up to the lower filling mark.
If several Deep Fat Fryers are installed next to each other with a total of more than 50 litres of fat, a
permanent fire extinguishing device with a suitable extinguishing agent must be available.
Various parts, e.g. cover plate or drainage valve, become very hot because of the temperatures needed.
Please protect yourself by touching the appliance only on the intended manual control elements and avoid
direct contact by using appropriate clothing.
Operation and cleaning must be carried out by trained employees. Maintenance and repair must be
carried out by qualified personnel only.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by improper installation or operation. In these
cases of damage the warranty becomes void.
When carrying out repair all poles of the appliance must be free of voltage (use cut-off device provided by
customer, e.g. fuse).
3.3 Advice on fire protection
A basic equipment of fire extinguishers must be provided. In addition, the following special fire
extinguishing devices close to the Deep Fat Fryers are required to extinguish fires resulting from burning
oil and fat:
•Filling capacity up to 50 litres – at least 1 fire extinguisher,
•Filling capacity of more than 50 litres – a permanent fire extinguishing device.
To forego a permanent fire extinguishing device (up to 100 litres filling capacity) several conditions must
be fulfilled. For information on these conditions please contact local or responsible authorities.
Overheated fat and oil can ignite automatically. Food with fat and oil should only be prepared under
qualified supervision. Never use water to extinguish fat and oil which caught fire! Water and hot chip fat
cause an explosion!
There is fire danger for fat with a flashpoint under 350°C. Adipose respectively animal oil is not
appropriate to use in Deep Fat Fryers as they tend to fast oxidation.
3.4 Advice on shipment
We advise to ship ascobloc-appliances only in their original packing in order to avoid unnecessary
damage or costs.
Check appliances for damage before unpacking and again before installation.

Use the lower edge at the front or at the back instead.
3.5 Advice on installation
The appliance is wired up to the connection box. To ensure the safety of our products it is necessary that
every connection process is carried out by an expert. Please allow these experts to look at these
documents. The statutory regulations (Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV etc.) as well as the
connection conditions of the local electricity supply company must be observed completely.
Before beginning the installation work, it should be checked that the mains voltage, mains type and the
current rating of the fuse match the values given on the type plates. An isolating device in the customer's
scope of supply that is effective on all poles must be provided, e.g. contactor fuses with at least 3 mm
contact gaps, so that the equipment is disconnected from the power supply during repair and installation
work. Connection to an equipotential bonding system is available (check effectiveness).
Do not bend, squash or damage cables (according to EN 60335-2-50) on any sharp edges. Lay the cables
in such a way that they cannot be brought into contact with hot parts. The connection cable leading
through the appliance must be fully sheathed from the connection point up to the entrance to the terminal
box. The appliance is intended for fixed connection; it is not permitted to connect the appliance using
plugs.
4. Installation
4.1 Location
Do not install the appliance next to walls, kitchen furniture, decorations or other inflammable materials.
Nonobservance causes fire danger!!! For the minimum distance please refer to the wiring diagram and
product description. Pay attention to the local fire protection regulations!
The appliance must be levelled out by using a spirit level. Otherwise the drawers and doors will not work
and shut perfectly. Appliances with height-adjustable feet can level the uneven floor slightly (+/- 20 mm)
by turning the feet. In case of installation on a plinth the appliance may be levelled by an appropriate
underlay.
Do not place the Deep Fat Fryers close to any kind of fluid or water containing appliances, e.g. bain-marie
or boiling pan.
This demand can be disregarded in case the following conditions between Deep Fat Fryer and any
appliances containing fluid are achieved:
•a gap of at least 900 mm
or FIRE!!!
•a 350 mm high and fire-proof partition
•Water out of a sprinkler system must not get in contact with hot fat.
4.1.1 Free-standing appliance
For installation as a free-standing appliance, it must be attached in a suitable way to prevent the appliance
from tipping over or moving.
4.1.2 Installation in groups or blocks
For installation in groups or blocks the appliances must be connected with each other by using suitable
connection elements. This is in interest of hygiene. Furthermore, take note of the respective instructions in
the appliances’ leaflet, brochure or installation diagram. If the appliance is fitted into kitchens of other
manufacturers refer to the corresponding brochures of the manufacturer for the necessary accessories.
4.2 Connections
Refer to details about connections in the enclosed wiring diagram and in the description of the appliance.
Please check whether the dimensions and the position of the electric outlet correspond to the
specifications in the appliances’ leaflet, brochure or installation diagram.
The terminal box is located behind the front panel A. Please make the connections according to the valid
wiring diagram. The number of the applicable wiring diagram is on the appliance identification plate.
After completing all installation work mount all covers and panels and screw them tight.
4.2.1 Free-standing appliance
Connections can be made underneath or at the back of the appliance. For connection underneath a gap
of at least 50 mm towards the footprint is needed.
4.2.2 Wall and table top appliance, connection to an installation wall or wall-mounted frame
When mounting the appliance to an installation wall or a wall-mounted frame (ACC 881), connections

4.2.3 Wall and table top appliance, connection through rear cover plate
There is an angle bracket with a hole on the right rear cover plate of the appliance covering the entrance
to the duct. Remove this angle bracket and turn it 180°before screwing it on again. The hole in the angle
bracket should now enable the entry to the duct through the rear wall of the appliance.
5. Correct use of appliance
5.1 Initial operation
Do not put the appliance into operation until the user got familiar with its handling. The operation
instructions including warning notices and the advice concerning fire protection are expected to be
observed!
Before initial operation detach the protection film off the steel surface.
Clean the appliance with diluted soap solution.
5.2 Operation
5.2.1 Filling appliance with fat
Before filling the appliance with fat or oil it must be ensured that the drainage valve is closed. The basin
and the heating element must be clean and dry.
When frying, ensure that the basin is filled at least up to the lower mark and at most up to the upper mark.
Only use heat-resistant, vegetable fat or oil for frying.
5.2.2 Melting
For careful melting of fat turn the knob to level "I". Adjust the temperature to 120°C. With melting on level "II"
the fat ages prematurely.
5.2.3 Frying
Start melting the fat on level “I“! Put in the strainer before inserting the frying basket.
Do not overload the frying basket. Fill it to a maximum height of 6 cm. Overloaded frying baskets cause
the fat to foam over more easily and impair the quality of the fried food.
Adjust level ”II”. Set the temperature according to the type of food to be fried.
Between the loads remove the strainer and free it of crumbs and fried remains. If they remain in the fat for
a long period of time, they cause it to become unusable prematurely.
5.2.4 Changing fat
•Fat which has become unusable can be recognised by:
•Deterioration in smell
•Deterioration in taste (check 2-3 times a day at a temperature of about 35°C)
•Discoloration of the fat
•Strong formation of smoke at 170 - 180°C
•Fat foams over excessively; unusable fat foams continuously in small bubbles.
Filter and change the fat regularly! The higher the frying temperature, the faster the fat is used. In
occasion of a fat exchange, the frying basin should be cleaned.
5.3 Safety shut-down
5.3.1 Tilting out the heating element
If the heating elements are tilted out, the heating (yellow signal lamp) switches off automatically. When the
heating elements are back in their operational position the heating elements switch on again.
5.3.2 Protection – temperature limiter
If the fat exceeds a temperature of 230°C, the temp erature limiter switches the heating off.
Possible cause: The frying fat is below the lower filling mark. Add fat!
After the fat has cooled off (approximately 5 minutes), the temperature limiter can be reset manually. The
switch is located on the rear of the heating element box (red switch).
If the heating switches off again in spite of being sufficient fat in the appliance, immediately switch off the
appliance completely! The appliance must be repaired by a technician of the customer service!
If the temperature limiter activates frequently, there is probably a fault in the thermostat. The appliance
must be checked by a technician of the customer service.
5.4 Cleaning
Please pay attention to the hygienic regulations which are valid in your kitchen! These present instructions
are no substitutes for them.
Attention! Do not spray the appliances with water, steam jet or high-pressure cleaners. The appliance has
to be turned off when cleaning the surrounding with water, steam jet or high-pressure cleaner.

Before cleaning the appliance it must be switched off and allowed to sufficiently cool down. Parts of the
appliance or accessories that come in contact with food must be thoroughly rinsed with drinking water
after being treated with cleaning material. Do not use inflammable liquids for cleaning.
To avoid trouble during operation and for reasons of hygiene, the appliance should be cleaned every day
after being used.
When the appliance is being cleaned, no water should be allowed to enter the cooled fat.
Frying basin
To clean the basin, all depending on the condition, either melt the fat or allow it to cool down slightly. In
order to drain off the fat completely, it should have reached a temperature of approximately 10°C abov e its
melting point. Place a container made of stainless steel or aluminium and with sufficient capacity below
the drainage unit. If you intend to continue using the fat, it should be filtered.
Open the drainage unit. Caution: the fat can be hot. Risk of scalding! After the fat has been drained away,
the fittings of the drainage unit may still be hot!
If the fat flows off slowly although the drainage device is open, a lump of cold fat may have formed in the
drainage pipe. Tilt out the heating elements and push out the lump of fat with a rod of suitable length (e.g.
a wooden spoon). Then remove all serious signs of contamination.
Clean the basin with one of the customary cleaning agents for stainless steel. Do not clean with a wire
brush or steel wool!
Heating elements
Do not damage the sensor or the distance piece of the thermostat. Fill the emptied frying basin with water.
Then add a fat solvent and bring the water to the boil. Drain off the water into the container. Apply the fat
solvent directly to the heating element and clean again carefully with a soft brush. Then fill the deep fat
fryer again with water and rinse carefully. We recommend a cleaning agent containing an alkaline solution
(up to approx. 5 % soda lye) as fat solvent.
Frying basket and strainer
Regularly rinse the frying basket and the strainer. The frying basket and the strainer are tin-plated. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents. Do not clean with a wire brush or steel wool.
Attention! The cleaning agents used, have to be free of chlorous and fluoric compounds as these
halogenides can even corrode high-quality stainless steel.
