1. Safety Information
1.1 General Warnings
• Cautions / precautions must be observed when installing, using, maintaining and discontinuing use of
this equipment;
• Before carrying out any operation (assembly, use, maintenance and reuse after prolonged use of the
equipment), read the manual carefully;
• The equipment must be used by trained personnel familiar with the use and safety regulations
described in this manual;
• This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, or people with lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have received
instructions regarding the use of the equipment or are under the supervision of a person responsible for
their safety.
• It is recommended that children be supervised to ensure that they are not playing with the equipment;
• In case of rotation of the personnel that will work with the equipment, the new operator must be
educated about the standards and the operation of the same one;
• The operator must use the Adequate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). As for example: use
kevlar hoses or non-flammable fabric to avoid burns with the oil; wear non-slip shoes; among others;
• The operator must always be aware of situations that can cause a risk of accidents and avoid them.
For example: working on dirty floors where someone could slip and fall on the equipment;
• After reading and clarifying all doubts, this manual should be carefully stored in an easily accessible
location, known to all persons who will operate the equipment and make it available to those who will
carry out maintenance for any inquiries. Whenever any questions arise, be sure to check the manual.
Do not operate the equipment in any way with doubts;
• In the installation, it is essential to make this manual available to the professionals who will do the
same;
• Never pour water over hot oil, as this could cause major accidents. In the event of an accident, use
non-flammable material to extinguish the fire. You can even place a metal tray or lid over the tank to
muffle the fire;
• Before starting cleaning and any type of maintenance, it is essential to disconnect the equipment from
the electrical supply and wait for the oil to cool completely;
• Periodically check the condition of the cables and electrical parts;
• Never put your hands, fingers or objects (such as spoons and knives) on the heating resistance or in the
oil when the equipment is switched on or cooling down, as they will be hot and cause burns.
• These equipments are intended to be used for commercial applications, for example in restaurant kitchens,
canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butchers, etc., but not for continuous
mass production of food.
ATTENTION!
Do not perform repairs on your own. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Only use
original parts in your equipment.

1.2 Mechanical Safety
• As the equipment is designed and produced for professional use, considering its purpose/utility, the
manipulation of some components (for example: frying baskets) must be carried out with care;
• Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the temperature and safety thermostat bulbs are in
perfect condition, that is, they cannot be dented or have any other fault. Faulty thermostats impair the
correct functioning of the equipment and the temperature reading, which may cause accidents;
• Never pour water over the oil, as this could cause a serious accident;
• If you need to move some fried food, use a spatula;
• Your equipment has baskets for frying foods;
• Avoid spilling oil on the floor, as it will make the floor slippery and may cause accidents. In case of oil
spills, clean the floor.
The equipment described in this manual complies with regulations against risks of a mechanical nature.
The requirements of the standard were observed: INMETRO (see item 8 Applicable Standards).
Mechanical safety is ensured with:
1. Structure, that protects the entire frying tank (which is heated to high temperatures). This avoids
burns to the operator;
2. Frying basket, which facilitates the handling of fried foods;
3. Panel Coating, which prevents operator access to electrical parts and protects all electrical
components, avoiding contact with water, dust and other materials;
4. Resistance protection prevents contact between the frying basket and the heating resistance,
avoiding the risk of burns and damage to the heating resistance.
To view the parts described above, refer to the image in item 2.1 (Main Components –page 7)
of this manual.
ATTENTION!
Always that some item referred to safety be removed from the equipment (for example, for
cleaning or maintenance), replace it in place and confirm that it is performing its function
correctly.
