OPERATING GUIDE
When siting the unit, make sure that it is level
and that there is a free flow of air around the unit
and that any vents are not blocked.
Choose a suitable site for the unit, taking into
account its use and the heat that will be generated
whilst in service.
Remove all protective packaging and ensure the
pan has been thoroughly cleaned before filling
with oil.
Inspect for any damage which may effect the
machine’s electrical safety.
Ensure the control head is seated correctly.
Fill the pan with oil to the correct level, indicated
on the element shroud.
Plug into the mains and switch on the power
supply, the red neon light indicates that there is
power to the unit.
Turn on the thermostat to the desired
temperature, the green light will indicate power
to the element, this will extinguish when the
desired temperature is reached. This procedure
will be repeated as the thermostat maintains a
constant temperature.

DRAINING & CHANGING THE OIL
Allow Oil to cool
Ensure the power has been isolated
Lift out control unit –Do not immerse
the control unit in water. Wipe down
with a suitable cloth
Lift out the pan from the body of the
machine taking care not to spill any oil
Pour the oil into a suitable receptacle
through a strainer if the oil is to be re-
used
Clean the pan in hot soapy water, dry
and replace in the body of the fryer.
All equipment should be kept absolutely clean;
under no circumstances must food particles be
allowed to congeal on baskets or elements as
this will cause foaming due to the particles
continuously cooking.
Periodically you will need to replace the
cooking medium, do this when discolouration,
odour, surging or stray tastes indicate this;
again, experience is your best guide, but
remember that more frequent changes will be
required when different foods are cooked in the
same medium.
DANGER
Old Oil has a reduced flash point and is
more prone to surge boiling
Attention is also drawn to the effect of
over-wet food and too large a charge on
surge boiling
Treat the fryer with the utmost respect
with regard to safety, as hot cooking oil
is a very hazardous substance
Never use the lid while the fryer is
switched on or is cooling off, it is only a
dust cover when the fryer is not in use.
N.B. Incorrect oil level, old oil or allowing the
machine to be switched on without any oil will
cause the override switch to trip.
Unplug the unit prior to moving and never
attempt to move the unit while it is hot.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Once you have finished with the unit, switch off
and unplug. Allow the unit to cool completely.
Do not use bleach or any corrosive detergent as
they will damage the surface of the unit.
Finally wipe the unit with a damp cloth.
