LIGHTING and OPERATION
Controls
The thermostat control knobs and two indicator lamps are
mounted on the facia panel. The mains indicator lamp
(red) will become lit when power is supplied to unit.
The thermostat indicator lamp (amber) lights only when
heating elements are being supplied with current. It will
go out when oil has reached selected temperature.
Frying Medium
The appliance will give optimum performance when a
good quality vegetable oil is used to fry.
Nevertheless, favourable results can be obtained from
cooking fats provided the following procedures are
adhered to.
NEVER operate thermostat above smoke point of
chosen medium. e.g. Some dripping can have a smoke
point as low as 170°C. Reputable cooking fat
manufacturers supply this information.
DO NOT USE SOLID FAT.
Operation - Initial Charging Of The Pan
Important
Ensure that appliance has been turned OFF at mains
isolating switch.
Prior to operation, clean pan using hot water and
detergent.
Rinse and DRY the pan THOROUGHLY before use.
Ensure that drain valve is CLOSED.
Fill with oil to “C” level mark on element guard.
“C” denotes COLD, “H” denotes HOT.
Switching The Appliance On
Ensure pan is filled with oil to correct level.
Close isolating switch and set thermostat knob to desired
frying temperature. Leave unit to heat up.
When oil has reached selected temperature, the amber
neon will go out. This indicates that fryer is ready for use.
When oil temperature falls, e.g. when food is immersed in
oil, thermostat automatically restores supply of current to
elements. The amber neon will become lit.

Warning
Attention is drawn to following safety related points:-
NEVER, under any circumstances, switch unit on unless
it is filled with oil or water. Before draining pan or raising
elements for cleaning, the appliance MUST be
isolated at the mains switch.
Surge boiling may occur if over-wet food or a larger than
recommended load is being prepared.
There is a possibility that the appliance could catch fire if
oil level is below specified, indicated level.
Old oil has a reduced flash point compared to that of a
fresh medium, therefore it is more prone to surge boiling.
To Shut The Fryer Off
Turn thermostat knob to off position and turn mains
isolating switch off.
High Temperature Limit Device
The fryers are fitted with a high temperature limit device.
This ensures that oil cannot become overheated to reach
a dangerous temperature level.
If limit device trips, it will be necessary for a service
engineer to investigate and rectify cause. This requires
to be addressed prior to unit being brought back into
service.
SECTION 3 -
