This is an adjustable setting device which will pr vide
frying temperatures up t 190
C.
Safety T ermostat
This is pre-set at fact ry. In event f an perating
therm stat failure, the safety therm stat will shut gas
ff at pil t and main burners.
If this ccurs, the reas n f r failure must be
investigated and rectified. The device is reset by
rem ving the black cap that pr tects the reset butt n.
Push reset butt n d wn gently using a thin-shafted
