IMPORTANTINFORMATION
ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ADVICE REGARDING SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
Commercial kitchens and foodservice areas are environments where electrical appliances may be located
close to liquids, or operate in and around damp conditions or where restricted movement for installation and
service is evident.
The installation and periodic inspection of the appliance should only be undertaken by a qualified, skilled and
competent electrician; and connected to the correct power supply suitable for the load as stipulated by the
appliance data label.
The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements to the local electrical
wiring regulations and any electrical safety guidelines.
We recommend: -
•Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a type A residual current device (RCD)
•Fixed wiring appliances incorporate a locally situated switch disconnector to connect to, which is easily
accessible for switching off and safe isolation purposes. The switch disconnector must meet the
specification requirements of IEC 60947.
Your attention is drawn to: -
BS 7671:2018–Guidance Note 8 - 8.13 : Other locations of increased risk
It is recognized that there may be locations of increased risk of electric shock other than those specifically
addressed in Part 7 of BS 7671. Examples of such locations could include laundries where there are washing
and drying machines in close proximity and water is present, and commercial kitchens with stainless steel
units, where once again, water is present.
Where because of the perception of additional risks being likely, the installation designer decides that an
installation or location warrants further protective measures, the options available include:
•Automatic Disconnection of Supply (ADS) by means of a residual current device having a residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA;
•Supplementary protective equipotential bonding; and
•Reduction of maximum fault clearance time.
The provision of RCDs and supplementary bonding must be specified by the host organization’s appointed
installation designer or electrical contractor and installed by a suitably qualified and competent electrician so
as to comply with Regulations 419.2 and 544.2

SECTION 1 –INSTALLATION
UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, PARTS WHICH HAVE BEEN PROTECTED BY THE

Please ensure that any plastic coatings are removed prior to use. Before operation, the pan
requires to be thoroughly cleaned and dried.
Discolouration of heated parts is caused by factory testing to ensure a satisfactory unit. It does
not affect quality or performance.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE TASK, ISOLATE THE APPLIANCE
AT THE MAIN SUPPLY. TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT IT MAY NOT BE
INADVERTENTLY SWITCHED ON.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE, ENSURE THE PAN IS EMPTY.
MAINTENANCE CHECK
Regular servicing of the appliance should be undertaken to ensure correct operation,
it is functioning as intended, and safe to use. We recommend servicing after 2,500
hours of use, or annually, whichever comes first.
Any maintenance schedule should be carried out in accordance with SFG20 Maintenance Schedule.
Should any issues with the integrity of the components be identified these should be replaced. If the
appliance is not considered safe the unit should be removed from service and the responsible person
advised why the unit is not safe to use and what remedial action is needed. Contents of the maintenance
schedule should be agreed with the maintenance provider.

3.1 ELECTRICAL CONTROL GEAR
The mains terminals are located at rear of unit. The contactor(s) are contained within a box at the front.
To gain access, open door and remove cover panel behind.
The control thermostat(s) and neon lamps are mounted on the facia panel, which is secured by four fixings.
3.2 NEON INDICATOR LAMPS
These must be replaced by new lamps in event of failure.
To replace a faulty lamp, first remove facia panel and pull off push-on terminals. Remove lamp by undoing
fixing nut at rear.
3.3 THERMOSTATS
The fryer has two thermostats.
The adjustable control thermostat is mounted upon control panel.
The safety thermostat is located within the element box. It has a fixed setting and manual re-set button at
rear of element box. In the event of control thermostat failure and resultant overheating of frying medium,
safety thermostat will trip supply to elements before oil temperature becomes dangerous.
To restore circuit having rectified the fault, it is necessary to press the re-set button. This is
situated within the turret which projects through element box rear. The oil must be allowed to cool to
enable safety thermostat to be re-set.
A defective safety or control thermostat cannot be repaired and must be replaced. The capillary tubes
pass through pan wall and are sealed with small glands which must not be overtightened. The phial must
be fixed in position within pan before tightening gland. The phial tip should protrude from protective tube
by 33mm. Thermostat capillary tube must be covered with sleeve insulation. Safety stat phial should be
located centrally within element clip.
3.4 CONTACTOR
This should require little or no maintenance under normal circumstances. After long service, the contacts
may become pitted and at that point, new contactsshould be fitted.
3.5 ELEMENTS
These are individually replaceable. Access to terminals and fixing nuts is gained upon removing element
box cover. When fitting a new element, ensure that sealing gasket is fitted and tighten fixing nut firmly,
preferably with the aid of a tubular box spanner or socket.
When re-fitting element box cover, check condition of oil resistant gasket. Do not use excessive force
when securing cover as this may deform it and allow oil to enter box.
3.6 CLEANLINESS
To maintain maximum performance, the pan must be kept clean. Periodically, oil must be drained off and
the pan shouldbe filled with water and detergent.Boilup contents and drain whilst still hot before flushing
out with clean water. Thoroughly dry pan and all fittings before re-filling with oil. The elements can be lifted
and hinged backward to gain full access to all surfaces of pan and elements.
3.7 TILT SWITCH
Located in element terminal box, this component should require no maintenance.

SECTION 4 - SPARES
When ordering spares, quote the unit type and serial number. This information will be found on data
plate located on cover panel behind door.
An identity label is also provided on front frame.
