1.2 Mechanical Safety
• Since the appliance is designed and produced for professional use, considering its
purpose/usefulness, the handling of some components (for example: frying baskets) must be carried
out with care;
• Before turning on the appliance, make sure that the bulbs of the temperature and safety thermostats
are in perfect condition, i.e. they must not be squashed or have any other malfunction. Faulty
thermostats impair the correct functioning of the device and temperature reading, which may cause
accidents;
• Never splash water on the oil as this may cause a serious accident;
• If you need to move some frying, use a spatula;
• Your appliance has a basket for disposal of fried foods;
• Avoid splashing oil on the floor as this will make the floor slippery and may cause accidents. In case
of oil splashes, clean the floor.
The equipment described in this manual complies with the mechanical risk regulation. The
requirements of the following standards have been met: NR-12 and INMETRO (see item 8 Applicable
Standards).
Mechanical safety is achieved with:
1. The cabinet that protects the entire tank (which is heated to high temperatures). This prevents
burns to the operator;
2. The frying basket facilitates the handling of fried foods;
3. The drip tray (with sieve), to deposit the fried foods for a certain time, in order to let the oil drain
and reuse it;
4. The bottom protection plate, which in normal use of the device, protects the entire bottom of the
tank, avoiding the risk of burns and contact with electrical components.

• Never carry out any maintenance, adjustment or disassembly of the equipment connected to it. For
such procedures, make sure that it is turned off by removing the plug from the electrical outlet;
• To adjust the operating temperature of the device, there is a button on the temperature thermostat.
This button should be used to adjust the temperature according to the needs of the product to be fried
(maximum 200° C), avoiding overheating of the oil. When the temperature reaches the stipulated zone,
the thermostat will turn off the fryer resistance (or the two fryer resistances in the case of FIE
models).20M and FIE.20M BIP) and will automatically turn off the indicator lamp. See the location of
these components in the following photo;
• The appliance also has a safety thermostat, which turns the appliance off in case the temperature
thermostat fails. For more information on this thermostat, check item 4.2 of this manual.
The components used for safety against electrical hazards were selected according to the
standard: NR-12 (see item 8 Applicable Standards). Given the perfect insulation of all the electrical
parts and the excellent resistance of all the materials used, this unit is able to carry out the works to
which they are proposed.
