'Specifications' section of this manual. Check the gas supply to
ensure that adequate supply pressure exists.
c. Input Rate of this appliance is also stated on the Rating Plate
attached to the inside of the access door and in the
'Specifications' section of this manual. The input rate should be
checked against the available gas supply line capacity.
Particular note should be taken if the appliance is being
added to an existing installation.

2. A suitable joining compound which resists the breakdown action of LPG must be used on every gas
line connection, unless compression fittings are used.
The connection to the appliance is 3/4” BSP male.
NOTE: A Manual Isolation Valve must be fitted to the individual appliance supply line.
3. Correctly locate the appliance into its final operating position and using a spirit level, adjust the legs
so that the appliance is level and at the correct height.
4. Connect the gas supply to the appliance.
5. Check the gas operating pressure to, as shown in the ‘Specifications’ section. If the pressure is
incorrect, adjust the pressure by adjusting the operating pressure adjusting screw of the gas control
valve as shown in the ‘Gas Conversion and Specifications’ section.
6. Check all gas connections for leakages using soapy water or other gas detecting equipment.
NOTE: The operating pressure is to be measured at the lower test point (Out) on the gas control
valve located behind the access door and through the access hole in the control panel, this
is to be carried out with all burners operating at the 'High Flame' setting.
7. Turn ‘OFF’ the mains gas supply and bleed the
gas out of the appliance gas lines.
8. Turn ‘ON’ the gas supply and the appliance.
9. Verify the operating pressure remains correct
(Re-adjust if required, using the operating
pressure adjusting screw as shown in the ‘Gas
Conversion and Specifications’ section).
10. Check the pilot flame size. (Re-adjust if
required, using the pilot adjusting screw as
shown in the ‘Gas Conversion and
Specifications’ section).
11. Turn ‘ON’ to ‘Full’ settings all other gas
appliances / equipment supplied from the same
gas supply line and verify the operating
pressure remains unaffected by the maximum
gas supply demand.
NOTE: Insufficient gas supply line capacity, indicated by the operating pressure drop during the
maximum gas supply demand, is NOT ACCEPTABLE and may invalidate the manufacturers
warranty for this appliance.

WHILST THE FRYER IS STILL HOT.

17
5. When the appliance displays ‘droP’ this indicates that the Fryer is ready to commence cooking
operations.
6. If there is a “.” displayed between the first and second characters of ‘H.EAt’ this indicates that
the heating element is ‘ON’. The appliance uses a heating rate dependent (temperature vs
time) heating algorithm.
7. When idling around its Set Temperature, the appliance will usually maintain a temperature
range of 5° from the Set Temperature.
Cook Mode:
NOTE:
• Each Control Panel has 3 timers for each tank, which can be programmed with
separate cook times to allow different products with different cook times to be
cooked in the same tank.

pressing either the ‘1'-(Left), ‘2'-(Centre) or '3'-(Right) Timer keys, this will start the pre
programmed time set for each timer.
2. When only one timer is activated, the LED under the timer will blink rapidly and the time
remaining will be displayed.
3. When more than 1 timers are activated, the LED under the timer with the least remaining
time blinks more rapidly.
4. The LED's above the other active timers will blink less frequently.
5. When the first timer has expired and has not been cancelled the second timer’s LED turns
‘OFF’ until cancellation of the first timer.
6. If the second timer has not expired while the operator was cancelling the first timer, then it’s
time remaining is displayed and it’s LED will blink at the more rapidly.
7. When a timer expires, a beeping sound is generated and a blinking ‘L’ 'ctr' or ‘r’ is displayed
for either the left, centre or right timers respectively. This will continue until the expired
timer’s key is pressed to cancel the cooking for that timer.
8. An active timer may be cancelled at any time by pressing its ‘Timer’ key.
9. To turn the appliance ‘OFF’ depress and hold in the ‘ON/OFF’ key for approximately 3
seconds.
Temperature Display Mode:

a. OIL - Carefully fill fryer tank with oil until the 'FILL-LEVEL' mark is reached.
The GT45E fryer will hold 20 litres of oil (37lbs shortening).
The GT46E fryer will hold 13 litres of oil per tank (24lbs shortening per tank).
The GT60E fryer will hold 31 litres of oil. (46.5lbs shortening).
b. 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.
• When pre-melting shortening, only heat until the shortening is just liquefied. Do not bring up
to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous.
• If pre-melting of shortening is not possible then the shortening should be cut in pieces and
packed down into the tank.
• Bringing the shortening up to frying temperature, when not pre-melting, should be done in two
stages.
i. Pre-Heating;
Light the main burners and select the melt cycle (CY) on the control panel display, the
burners will cycle ‘On’ / ‘Off’ until the shortening has liquefied.
Lighting the Pilot Burners
GT45E Fryer (Single Tank)
1. With the fryer tank full of frying medium, the pilot burners
can be lit.
2. Check that the gas supply is turned on at the mains
supply.
3. Open the access door at the front of the appliance to
access the control panel.
4. Rotate the gas control knob to the position marked 'PILOT'
and hold depressed.
5. At the same time hold the flame failure button depressed.
6. Depress the piezo igniter until the right hand pilot ignites.
7. Continue holding the gas control knob and flame failure
button depressed until the left hand pilot cross lights from
the right hand pilot.
8. Hold the gas control knob and flame failure button
depressed for approx. 10 to 15 seconds after igniting the
second pilot burner, then release, both pilot burners
should remain alight. If the pilot burners do not ignite,
repeat Items 1 to 8 above.
