1. Safety Information
1.1 General Warnings
• There are precautions that must be observed when assembling, using, maintaining and
discontinuing the use of this device;
• Before performing any operation (assembly, use (use), maintenance and re-use after prolonged
interruption of use of the appliance), read this manual carefully;
• The equipment must be used by trained personnel familiar with the use and safety standards
described in this manual;
This device 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 device 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 change of the personnel that will work with the equipment, the new operator must be
instructed about its standards and the operation
• Operator should wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as for example:
use kevlar sleeves or non-flammable fabric to avoid oil burns; wear anti-slip shoes; among others;
• The operator should always be aware of situations that may cause and avoid accident hazards
(such as, for example, working on dirty floors where someone may slip and fall on the appliance);

• After reading and answering all questions, this manual should be carefully stored in an easily
accessible place, known by all the people who will operate the device and made available to the
people who will carry out maintenance, for eventual consultations. When in doubt, consult the
manual. Do not operate the device 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 splash water on hot oil as this may cause major accidents. In case of accident, use non-
flammable material to extinguish the focus. You can even place a tray or metal lid over the
saucepan to muffle the focus;
• Before starting cleaning and any kind of maintenance, it is essential to disconnect the appliance
from the power supply and wait for the oil to completely cool down;
• Periodically check the condition of the cables and electrical parts.
ATTENTION!
Do not perform repairs on your own. Refer to the technical service authorized by the
manufacturer. Use only original parts in your device.

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. Cabinet, which protects the entire saucepan (which is heated to high temperatures). This
prevents burns to the operator;
2. The frying basket facilitates the handling of the fried foods;
3. Electric box, which prevents operator access to electrical parts and protects all electrical
components, avoiding contact with water, dust and other materials;
4. Resistance protection prevents frying basket contact with the fryer resistance, avoiding the
risk of burns and damage to the fryer resistance.
To view the parts described above, refer to the image in item 2.1 (Main Components - pg.
7) of this manual.
ATTENTION!
Whenever any item regarding the safety of the equipment (such as cleaning or
maintenance) is removed, reset it and confirm that it is performing its function correctly.

6
1.3 Electrical Safety
• Periodically check the condition of the cables and electrical parts;
• Never splash water on your device. If the oil is hot, it could cause a serious accident and still drip
onto the electrical connectors and cause electric shock;
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new one. The exchange must be made
by the manufacturer, authorized agent or a qualified person in order to avoid risk;
• Do not operate the equipment in damp locations or wet clothing and shoes. Wear proper
footwear, this will prevent electric shocks and even death;
• Support the appliance on a firm and dry surface;
• 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, avoiding overheating of the oil. When the set temperature is reached, the
thermostat will turn off the fryer resistance and automatically turn off the signal lamp;
• The appliance also has a safety thermostat, which turns the appliance off in case the temperature
thermostat fails.
See the information and location of the components mentioned above in item 4.2
(Commands).
The components used for safety against electrical hazards were selected according to the
Brazilian 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.
ATTENTION!
Whenever an item related to the safety of the appliance is removed (for example, when
cleaning or maintaining it), put it back in its proper place and confirm that it is performing
its function correctly.

It is recommended that the place/establishment where this appliance is installed/used be
equipped with an appropriate fire extinguisher in accordance with local regulations and
requirements. The use of carbon dioxide extinguishers (also known as CO2 carbon dioxide
extinguishers)is recommended. Do not use chemical powder or water extinguishers, as these will
only increase the fire. Note: In case of fire, you can even place a metal tray or lid on the saucepan
to muffle the focus.
ATTENTION!
The installation and the place where the device will be disposed of must be in accordance
with the norms of risk prevention and safety at work (Regulatory Norm NR-12 for Brazil or
according to the regulatory norm in force in your country).
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages caused by non-
compliance with these standards and other instructions presented in this manual.
3.2. Electrical Connection
The equipment comes with a power cord to be plugged into an electrical outlet. If the
power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new one. The exchange must be made by the
manufacturer, authorized agent or a qualified person in order to avoid risk.
The power cord plug has 3 round pins, and there is a corresponding marking of each one
(Phase, Ground and Neutral) just below each pin. It is mandatory to make a good ground
connection according to the current regulations.

10
All models of the devices described in this manual are single-phase and have a single
voltage, i.e. 127 V or 220 V. If it is necessary to change the voltage in your device, contact the
manufacturer or the authorized dealer.
