Operation
Filling the Tank(s)
NOTE: BLUE SEAL 'Deep Fryers’ can be used with both oil and shortening.
1. 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.
2. Ensure that the elements are swung down into the tank(s).
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 E43 single tank fryer will hold 27 to 29 litres of oil.
 The E44 twin tank fryer will hold 14 litres of oil per pan.
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 E43 single tank fryer will hold 22 - 23kg of shortening.
 The E44 twin tank fryer will hold 11kg of shortening per tank.
Pre-Heating
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.
E43 and E44; - Set the tank control thermostat to 120°C and switch the appliance ‘ON’ for 30
seconds and then ‘OFF’ for 1 minute. Repeat the cycle until all the shortening is melted enough to
apply full power to the heating elements. To speed up this process, break up the shortening and stir
carefully during the melting process.
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.

Cleaning and Maintenance
General
To achieve the best results, cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts
checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have them
attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that the
appliance is serviced every 6 months.
Clean the fryer regularly. A clean fryer looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
NOTE:
 DO NOT use sharp scrapers, strong solvents, abrasive or caustic detergents as they could
corrode or damage the fryer.
 Ensure that any detergent or cleaning material have been completely removed after each
cleaning.
To keep your fryer clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures below:-
Draining and Daily Cleaning
1. At end of each day or at end of each shift, if frying schedule is heavy, frying medium should be
drained and filtered into a receptacle.
2. Always filter the fryer when the cool zone under the elements is
hot and liquid. A cold fryer heated up won't drain, because frying
medium in this zone will remain hard if using solid fat / oils.
3. Screw the drain extension pipe onto the end of the drain valve (see
Fig 4) and position a suitable container and filter under the drain
extension pipe.
Always turn ‘Off’ electrical supply before cleaning the fryer.
This appliance is not water proof.
Do not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance.
Caution
DO NOT USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO FRYER WHILST
FRYER IS STILL HOT.
Warning
DONOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE FRYER WHILST FRYER IS FULL OF OIL.
Warning
Never drain the fryer with power or elements turned ‘ON’
Always switch ‘OFF' the fryer before draining or re-filling the tank.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift the locking slide on the valve
handle (Fig 5) to release valve.
b. While holding the locking slide in the
withdrawn position, rotate the handle
anticlockwise (Fig 6) to open the
valve.
c. When valve is closed, the locking slide
will drop down over the locking valve
to prevent accidental opening of the
valve as shown in Fig.5.
4. Do not empty the total contents of the fryer into one large container, as this will be dangerous and
may be difficult, when lifted up, to pour hot oil back into tank.
5. Slip a muslin or other suitable filter bag over the end of the drain valve. Crumbs will be caught in
the bag but frying medium will strain freely through into receptacle.
6. Open drain valve slowly to minimise splashing, and take care not to overfill container.
7. When tank has been drained, use a ladle or small pan with a handle and dip into hot frying medium
from container and pour around sides and bottom of tank to wash out crumbs and particles adhering
to tank.
8. Continue to dip and pour until all crumbs are washed down and into filter bag.
9. Open drain valve fully and check for any particles or crumb residue lodged in the valve. Clean out
the valve with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use a wire brush as this may damage the valve seating
and will eventually lead to leakage. If obstruction cannot be removed with a soft brush, use a
wooden probe to dislodge obstruction.
10. Wipe all exterior panels with a cloth dampened with detergent and rinse off any residue with clean
warm water.
11. Clean Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of water and a commercial
quality foodservice approved detergent.
12. Once the daily cleaning operation is completed, close drain valve and pour frying medium back into
the tank.
HOT OIL WILL BURN - DONOT RUSH THIS JOB.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Weekly Cleaning
NOTE: If fryer usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is carried out
more frequently.
1. Proceed to drain and filter the tank as for 'Daily Cleaning'. Do not refill tank with frying medium
until it has been thoroughly cleaned as shown below.
2. Fill fryer with cold water to the normal fill level and add a high quality commercial cleaner that has
been specifically formulated for fryers.
All purpose cleaners are not recommended .
NOTE: Never use a caustic or lye solution, as this will leave a fat destroying film on tank.
3. Ensure that the elements are lowered into the tank. Switch ‘ON’ the power and heat the water to
approximately 80-90°C.
4. Clean the fryer baskets at the same time by immersing them in the cleaning solution. Allow fryer to
soak for 5-10 minutes or as directed on cleaner instructions. Remove baskets and turn Off main
burners.
5. Scrub the baskets and fryer tank with a stiff nylon bristle brush to remove any remaining deposits.
DO NOT use a wire brush to clean the tank , as this will scratch the sides of the tank .
6. Empty fryer and rinse thoroughly with water. Use a 1 part vinegar to 15 parts water solution to
rinse tank and neutralise any cleaner residue. If this proves unsuitable for cleaner being used, use a
weaker solution of up to 1 part vinegar to 25 parts water.
7. Rinse tank thoroughly with water, drain and dry.
8. Refill tank with new filtered frying medium.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
a. With the tank(s) drained, cleaned and dried as shown above, clean exterior surfaces of the fryer
with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth.
b. Dry all components thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
c. To remove any discoloration, use an approved stainless steel cleaner or stainless steel wool.
Always rub in direction of the grain.
Periodic Maintenance
NOTE: All maintenance operations should only be carried out by a qualified service person.
To achieve the best results, cleaning must be regular and thorough. All controls and mechanical parts
should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that
the appliance is serviced every 6 months.
