INTRODUCTION
We are confident that you will be delighted with your BLUE SEAL Electric Deep Fryer, and it will become a
most valued appliance in your commercial kitchen.
These fryers are constructed in stainless steel and due to the swing out elements are easy to clean. The
elements cannot be switched on in the raised position. A perforated stainless steel tray is fitted over the
elements, serving the double purpose of protecting the elements and supporting the baskets. Two slots
provided across the front of the splashback are to support the baskets to drain fat / oil after cooking. The
fat / oil drained off is thus returned directly to the tank.
To ensure you receive the utmost benefit from your new Blue Seal Electric Deep Fryer, there are two
important things you can do.
Please read the instruction book carefully and follow the directions given. The time taken will be well
spent.
If you are unsure of any aspect of the installation, instructions or performance of your appliance,
contact your BLUE SEAL dealer promptly. In many cases a phone call could answer your question.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED
PERSON.
Each fryer should be connected to an adequately protected power supply and an isolation switch mounted
adjacent to, but not behind fryer. This switch must be clearly marked and readily accessible in case of fire.
1. Check electricity supply is correct as shown on Rating Plate attached to the RH foot of the fryer.
2. Supply terminal connections are located at lower front of fryer.
3. Remove the service panel (screws on underside of chassis) to allow connection access for the
electrical supply.
4. Bring the supply cable up through the compression type gland provided on rear of main electrical
switchgear panel.
5. Connect mains supply to L1, L2 and L3 fuse carrier connections for 3 phases.
6. Connect neutral and earth conductors to neutral stud and earth stud respectively.
7. For all connections, ensure that conductors are secure and appropriately terminated.
8. Tighten cable gland to secure against tension on cable.
NOTE:

COMMISSIONING
Before leaving the new installation, check the following:
 Correct connections have been made, and cover panels are fitted.
 Fryer is working according to the operating instructions.
 New owner / operator has been shown how to operate the fryer.
 The baskets supplied and this instruction manual is left with the fryer.
 Fill in the service contact address and phone number in the space provided on contents page.
NOTE: To allow for a quick and more convenient check of the control operation, fill the tank
with water instead of oil. After checking the operation, drain and dry the tank
thoroughly.
Do not set thermostat at over 90°C when checking operation with water.
NOTE: BLUE SEAL Fryers can be used with both oil and shortening.
1. Check that the fryer tank is clean and dry.
2. Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve(s) behind the access door is (are) closed.
A locking slide is provided on these valves and this should always be locked in position during use.
3. Ensure that the elements are swung down into the tank(s).
CORRECT LEVEL FOR FRYING MEDIUM WHEN
AT FRYING TEMPERATURE.
INDICATES CORRECT FRYING MEDIUM LEVEL
WHEN COLD.
THE OPERATOR MUST TAKE GREAT CARE TO USE THE FRYER SAFELY AND TO GUARD AGAINST THE RISK OF
INJURY AND FIRE.
 DO NOT LEAVE FRYER UN-ATTENDED DURING OPERATION.
 DO NOT REPLENISH THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER WHEN THE FRYER IS HOT.
 DO NOT OVER FILL THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER ABOVE THE TOP LEVEL MARK.
 DO NOT ALLOW THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER TO FALL BELOW THE LOWER LEVEL MARK.
 DO NOT ALLOW THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER TO OVERHEAT.
 DO NOT INTRODUCE WET FOOD OR WATER INTO THE HOT OIL (FRYING MEDIUM).
 DO NOT USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FRYER
WHILST THE FRYER IS STILL HOT.

COMMISSIONING
OIL - Carefully fill the fryer tank until the lower ‘Fill Level’ mark is reached.
Set the thermostat to the required operating temperature, the oil will expand as heated and will reach
the upper level mark when the oil is hot (180 - 190°C).
 The E603 / E604 fryers will hold 29 to 30 litres of oil per tank.
SHORTENING - Ideally shortening should be pre-melted prior to putting it into the tank. This is
normally done in a suitable vessel on a boiling table burner(s). The liquefied shortening can then be
poured into the tank until it reaches the 'FILL LEVEL' mark.
 The E603 / E604 fryers will hold 23 to 25kgs of shortening per tank.
NOTE: When pre-melting shortening, only heat the shortening until it is just liquefied. Do not bring
the shortening up to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous.
 If pre-melting of shortening is not possible, carefully cut the shortening into small pieces and
pack below, all around and above the elements, ensuring that the element can fully lower to
operate the element tilt microswitch otherwise the fryer will not operate.
DANGER OF FIRE EXISTS IF THE OIL LEVEL IS BELOW THE MINIMUM INDICATED LEVEL.
DO NOT USE OLD OIL AS IT WILL HAVE A REDUCED FLASH-POINT AND IS MORE PRONE TO
SURGE BOILING.
WARNING

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS
The thermostat controls the tank temperature in the range from 60°C to 200°C (140°F to 394°F).
The over-temperature control should only function in the event of a thermostat failure. It is pre-set to cut
out power to the elements if the tank temperature rises above 220°C (460°F). It can be manually reset by
pushing in the red button through the 3mm hole in the control panel with a small screwdriver, match or
other suitable small object.
The oil must be allowed to cool (to 150°C approx) before re-setting the overtemp control.
NOTE: Running the elements continuously will cause the shortening in contact with the tank to
overheat, resulting in premature oil breakdown. Never allow the shortening to smoke while
melting as this indicates that the temperature is too high. If the shortening starts smoking,
increase the ‘Off’ intervals of the elements.
When "MELT" is selected, the elements are cycled ON and OFF to provide controlled low heat for melting
solid fat / shortening. Set thermostat to 150°C when selecting "MELT". Selecting "COOK" returns the fryer
to normal thermostatic control.
This indicates that there is power to the fryer.
This indicates that there is power to the elements when ON, and that the oil is at set
temperature when OFF.
This cycles ON and OFF as power is applied to the elements during the MELT cycle.
To make the most of your fryer, use the following procedure.
