IS 678 ECN 4993 Page 7 of 20
Supply Pressures
The appliance is connected directly to the gas supply where the gas supply
pressure is controlled at the source of inlet in the building or via the governor
attached to the bottle gases. See Technical Data for the supply pressures.
Undo the screw and attach a pressure gauge to the boss of the test nipple which is
located on the gas inlet pipe.
Light the oven burner and set thermostat to the highest setting and check the
pressure.
For Propane with a 50mbar supply pressure a governor is required for
adjustment to 37mbar.
(For J10, set each side individually)
Commissioning must include a functional check of all controls and a calibration
check on the thermostat. Oil temperature should be checked once the main
burners have cut out for a second time.
Upon handover, ensure all operators know how to safely light, operate and
shutdown the appliance and are aware of the isolating cock.

IS 678 ECN 4993 Page 8 of 20
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for professional use and must be operated by qualified or
trained personnel only.
This unit is intended to be used to produce deep fried products only.
Operator precautions
Do not leave the appliance unsupervised whilst operating.
Never put water in the oil and always drain food of excess moisture before frying.
Avoid overloading the baskets with product.
Do not use dust cover lid whilst operating.
Always allow oil or fat to cool before replenishing –do not attempt to add cold oil to
hot whilst cooking.
Notes on frying
Good quality vegetable oil is recommended, which has a higher smoke and fire
temperature than animal fat, and also carries less taint when different products are
fried in the same oil.
The life expectancy of oil will lengthen with regular filtering, and will also be
extended if the appliance is turned to standby when the fryer is not in use.
Old oil becomes more prone to boil or surge. It also has a lower flashpoint and will
be prone to overheating. Changing oil frequently reduces the risk of a fire hazard.
It is advisable to defrost frozen food first –cooking from frozen will affect the
heating recovery time, lowering output.
Always allow the oil to heat to temperature before introducing product.
Preparation for use
Ensure the drain valves are closed.
Fill the tanks with water and a little mild detergent to the lower indicated mark on the
batter plate. Do not use flammable solvents and cleaning aids.
Following the Lighting Instructions, turn the appliance on and allow the water to boil
for a short time.
Switch off and drain the water.
Rinse the tank and dry thoroughly.

IS 678 ECN 4993 Page 9 of 20
Run a small quantity of oil around the whole of the tank and allow it to drain. This
will remove any residual water and provide the tank with a coating of oil.
Close the drain valve, fit the blanking nut and fill the appliance with clean oil to the
lower level, maintain oil at the upper level during service.

Lighting
Ensure that the supply isolation valve is open.
Ensure the control knob (Fig 3 B) is in the ‘Off’ position (Fig 3 C). Push in and turn
anticlockwise to the pilot position (Fig 4 E) during which the piezo igniter will click to
ignite the pilot.
When the pilot is lit keep the knob depressed a further 20 seconds to establish the
pilot flame. If the pilot fails to light, return the knob to the ‘Off’ position, allow time
for the control to reset and then repeat the process.

IS 678 ECN 4993 Page 10 of 20
To operate the main burner with the pilot lit, turn the control knob to the operating
position (Fig 3 F) and turn the thermostat control knob (Fig 3 A) to the required
setting.
If for any reason the burner runs and then fails, the valve may go in to ‘lockout’
mode –see note under Shut down section.
Standby
The appliance may be left on standby by lighting the pilot and leaving the control
knob in the pilot position (Fig 3 E). The main burner cannot be operated in this
position. To re-ignite the main burner, follow the instructions above.
Safety cut-out
Should the safety thermostat operate during use, the appliance will shut down.
Allow the oil to cool before resetting the thermostat by depressing the red button
(Fig 3 H).
Shut down
When the appliance is not required, turn the control knob (Fig 3 B) to the pilot
position (Fig 3 E) which will shut down the main burner but leave the pilot lit ready
for when the appliance is next required.
To turn the appliance off fully, turn the control knob (Fig 3 B) to the ‘Off’ position
(Fig 3 C) and shut off at the gas supply.
Drainage
Allow the oil to cool below 55 Deg C before draining.
Remove the blanking nut (Fig 4 J) from the front of the appliance. Fit the drain
tube. Place a suitable receptacle under the pipe outlet. Lift the drain valve handle
lock (Fig 4 K) to allow operation of the drain valve, then move the drain valve
handle forwards and upwards to drain. After draining, close the valve, remove the
pipe and refit the blanking nut. Excess oil remaining in the base of the tank can be
removed with kitchen paper.
Ensure the handle lock has dropped into position before refilling the tank.
