Us r Th rmostat
This is an adjustable setting device which will pr vide
frying temperatures up t 190
C.
Saf ty Th rmostat
This is pre-set at the fact ry. In the event f a
therm stat failure the safety stat will shut the gas ff
at the pil t and main burners sh uld the il
temperature rise ab ve 230
C.
This device can be reset by a push f the red butt n.
Gas Control
Situated at the t p side f the multifuncti nal c ntr l,
the c ntr l kn b is set c rrectly when the appr priate

N further perati n f the c ntr l kn b is necessary
until the c king cycle is ver
Choic of Frying M dium
A g d quailty vegetable il is preferred. H wever,
pure edible dripping may be used pr viding that the
therm stat setting d es n t exceed 180
C.
The sm ke p int will be reached ab ve such a
setting and the fat will break up and deteri rate.
Important
In rder t meet the requirements f the Fire
Precauti ns Act 1971, the unit sh uld always be
turned ff when unattended.
Warning
It is danger us t use il which is t ld as it has a
reduced flash p int temperature and is pr ne t surge
b iling. Change the il regularly t prevent risk t the
perat r.
Caution
T prevent surge b iling, d n t exceed the
rec mmended l ads and never charge the pan with
ver-wet f d items. Never leave a w rking fryer
unattended.
Caution
Overheating f il sh uld be av ided.
R pl nishing Oil Wh n Fry r Is Hot
Caution - It is rec mmended that replenishment f il

using dripping. Output will als be marginally less.
Slow Blanching
This may be necessary when large quantities f chips
are required at peak peri ds. This pr cess c nsists f
