Each fryer should be connected to an adequately protected power supply and isolation switch mounted adjacent
to, but not behind the fryer. This switch must be clearly marked and readily accessible in case of fire.
The fryer is equipped with 32A fusing on L1, L2 and L3 supplies. Ensure that fuses are fitted (Type F1(NS) gG).
1. Check that the electricity supply is correct as shown on the Rating Plate attached to the inside of the ac-
cess door.
2. The supply terminal connections are located at the lower front of the fryer.
3. Open the door and remove the service panel (6 screws) located behind the drain valve(s) to allow
connection access for the electrical supply.
4. Bring the supply cable up through the grommet at the back of the fryer, and through the compression
type gland provided on the rear of the main electrical switchgear panel.
5. Connect the 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 the cable gland to secure against tension on the cable.
NOTE:
• This appliance must be grounded / earthed.
• Fixed wiring installations must incorporate an all-pole disconnection switch.
Commissioning

Cleaning / 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 competent serviceman. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause complete breakdown. It is recommended
that a service check is conducted every six months.
Clean the fryer regularly. A clean fryer looks better, will last longer and will perform better. A build
up of grease on the surface will hinder the transfer of heat from the cooking surface to the food.
This will result in loss of cooking efficiency.
NOTE:
• DO NOT use abrasive detergents, sharp scrapers, strong solvents or caustic deter-
gents 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 Cleaning
Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift the locking slide on valve handle to release valve.
b. While holding the locking slide in the withdrawn position, rotate the handle anticlockwise to open
the valve.
c. When the valve is closed, the locking slide will drop down over the locking valve to prevent
accidental opening of the valve.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FRYER
WHILST THE FRYER IS STILL HOT.
C AUTION :
Always turn off the electrical supply before cleaning the appliance.
This appliance is not water proof.
Do not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance.
C AUTION :
Never drain the fryer with power or elements switched ‘ON’.
Always switch ‘OFF' the fryer before draining or re-filling the tank.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE FRYER WHILST THE FRYER IS FULL OF OIL.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE FRYER, ENSURE THAT ALL THE OIL HAS BEEN
DRAINED FROM THE TANK. REFER TO THE INFORMATION BELOW ON HOW TO DRAIN THE
OIL FROM THE FRYER.

Daily Cleaning
1. At the end of each day or at the end of each shift, if the frying schedule is heavy, the 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 the frying medium in this zone will remain hard if using solid fat/oils.
3. Screw on the drain extension pipe and position a suitable container and filter under the drain.
4. Do not empty the total contents into one large container, as this will be dangerous and may be
difficult when lifted up, to pour the hot oil back into the tank.
5. Lift the element assembly up out of the tank.
6. Open the drain valve slowly to minimise splashing, and take care not to overfill the container.
7. If necessary, use a drain stick to stir up any solid medium into the top medium to melt it.
8. Slip a muslin or other suitable bag over the drain valve. Crumbs will be caught in the bag but frying
medium will strain freely through bag the bag into the receptacle.
9. When the tank has been drained, use a ladle or small pan with a handle as a ladle and dip into the
hot frying medium from the receptacle and pour vigorously around sides and bottom of the tank to
wash out crumbs and particles adhering to them.
10. Continue to dip and pour until all crumbs are washed down and into the filter bag.
11. Open the drain valve fully and check for any particles or crumb residue lodged in the valve. Clean
out with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use a wire brush or metal rods as these damage the seating in
the valve and will eventually lead to valve leakage. If the obstruction in the valve cannot be
removed with a brush, use a wooden probe to dislodge the obstruction.
12. Wipe all exterior panels with a cloth dampened with detergent and rinse off any residue with clean
warm water.
13. Once the daily cleaning operation is completed, close the valve and pour the frying medium back
into the tank and continue the days work.
14. Straining takes less time than frying one load of potatoes and will pay dividends in food quality and
saving of frying medium.

Weekly Cleaning
NOTE: If the fryer usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is carried
out on a more frequent basis.
1. Proceed as for “Daily Cleaning” to drain and filter the tank. Do not refill the tank with frying medium
until it has been cleaned as shown below.
2. Fill the 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 the 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 simply immersing them in the cleaning solution. Allow
the fryer to soak for 5-10 minutes or as directed on the cleaner instructions. Remove the baskets
and switch ‘OFF’ the fryer.
5. Scrub the baskets and fryer tank lightly, but vigorously with a stiff nylon bristle brush to remove any
remaining deposits. DO NOT use a wire brush, as this will scratch the sides of the tank.
6. Empty the fryer and rinse thoroughly with water. Use a 1 part vinegar to 15 parts water solution to
rinse the tank and neutralise any cleaner residue. Use a weaker solution of up to 1 part
vinegar to 25 parts water if this proves unsuitable for the cleaner being used.
7. Rinse the tank thoroughly with water, drain and dry.
8. Refill the tank with new filtered frying medium to the correct level as shown in the Operation
section - ‘Filling the Tank(s)’.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
a. With the tank(s) drained, cleaned and dried as shown above, clean the exterior surfaces of the
fryer with hot water, a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Note that the control knobs are a
push fit onto the thermostats and can be removed to allow cleaning of the front control panel.
b. Dry all components thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
c. To remove any discolouration, use an approved stainless steel cleaner or stainless steel wool.
Always rub in the 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 and 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.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE FRYER WHILST THE FRYER IS FULL OF OIL.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE FRYER, ENSURE THAT ALL THE OIL HAS BEEN
DRAINED FROM THE TANK. REFER TO THE INFORMATION ON THE PREVIOUS PAGES ON
HOW TO DRAIN THE OIL FROM THE FRYER.
