ATTENTION!
Do not perform repairs on your own. Go to a 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
handling of some components (for example: frying baskets) must be carried out with care.
• Before operating your equipment, make sure that the gas installation is not leaking. Only use soap suds
to check for gas leaks. Make sure that the temperature and safety thermostat bulbs are in perfect
condition, that is, they cannot be dented or have any other damage. Faulty thermostats impair the
correct functioning of the equipment and the temperature reading, which can cause accidents.
• Insert only specific products for which the equipment is intended in the baskets and tank and never
place your hands or flammable products, close to or directly in the heated oil or in the air outlet
(chimney).
• When cleaning the equipment, be very careful. Switch off the equipment and close the gas pressure
regulator (gas valve). Then wait for the oil to cool completely. Never put your hands or cleaning products
on the heated equipment. For further information on cleaning the equipment, follow the instructions in
item 5 of this manual.
• Never pour water over the oil, as this could cause a serious accident;
• Your equipment has baskets for the arrangement of fried foods;
• Avoid spilling oil on the floor, as it will make the floor slippery, which may cause accidents. In case of oil
spills, clean the floor immediately.
The equipment described in this manual complies with the regulation against mechanical risk.
Mechanical safety is ensured with:
1. The structure and door that protect the entire tank (which is heated to high temperatures) and
burners. This avoids burns to the operator and access to the electrical part;
2. The frying basket that facilitates the handling of fried foods;
3. Basket support, to suspend the baskets for a certain time after frying, in order to let the oil drain
and reuse it;
4. Grid prevents food to be fried directly in the tank from sinking during frying, preventing accidents.
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.

1.3 Electrical Safety
• Periodically check the condition of cables and electrical parts;
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new one. The exchange must be carried out
by the manufacturer, an authorized agent or a qualified person in order to avoid risks;
• Never pour water on your equipment. If the oil is hot, it can cause a serious accident and it can still run
to the electrical connectors and cause an electric shock;
• Do not work with the equipment in damp places, or with wet clothes and shoes. Put on proper footwear,
this will avoid electric shocks and even death;
• Place the equipment on a firm, dry and well-leveled surface;
• Never carry out any maintenance, adjustment or disassembly operation on the equipment with it turned
on. For such procedures, make sure that it is turned off, removing the plug from the electrical network,
turning off the burners, closing the gas pressure regulator (register) and verifying that the equipment is at
room temperature;
• Do not use extension cords or adapters with various other equipment connected to them. This could
cause fire or overload;
• To regulate the operating temperature of the equipment, there is a temperature controller. This panel
must be used to adjust the temperature according to the needs of the product to be fried. We
recommend regulating the control up to a maximum of 180°C, avoiding overheating of the oil. When the
temperature reaches the stipulated zone, the thermostat will turn off the burners and automatically turn
off the signal lamp. See the location and functions of these components in item 4.2 (Commands);
• The equipment also has a safety thermostat, which switches off the equipment in case the temperature
thermostat fails. For more information on this thermostat, check item 4.2 (Commands) of this manual.
Removing or tampering with any of the security systems can cause serious accidents.
