Operation
Warning
Always check that there is oil in the tank before switching on the appliance.
1. Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch and turn the thermostat control knobs to the
required temperature setting.
2. The green neon will light indicating that mains power is on, and amber neons will light
indicating that the heating elements are energised.
3. When the oil in a tank reaches the selected temperature, its associated amber neon will go out.
Should a tank fail to heat when its neon is illuminated, the high temperature cut-out may require
resetting. These cut-outs are located in the rear panel of the unit, accessed through the door under
the fyer tank.
Press the exposed button to reset the cut-out.
Should the appliance still fail to operate, consult a qualified electrical engineer.
Cleaning
Before carrying out any cleaning of your fryer, disconnect it from the power supply.
Oil condition
To maintain the condition of the oil it is recommended that it is filtered after every service period.
Do not allow the oil to fall below the low level mark to avoid the risk of fire. Oil should be replaced
when it becomes dark brown in colour and should be disposed of according to local authority
regulations.
Old oil has a reduced flash point and is more prone to surge boiling.
Warning
Always allow oil to cool to a maximum 55ºC before draining. Always drain the unit before
cleaning or servicing.
Draining the Oil
1. Turn the unit off and isolate from the power supply.
2. Allow the oil to cool to a maximum of 55°C.
3. Screw the drain elbow onto the drain tap and place a suitable container under the outlet of the
drain elbow.
4. Open the tap and allow the oil to drain.
5. Close the tap to the safe locked position (see diagram below)
6. Unscrew the drain elbow.

Cleaning the tanks
Food debris can be a health risk, ensure that food debris is cleaned from the fryer after use.
A
DETAIL A
Element latch release button
The elements can be raised out of the tank to allow easy access for debris removal and cleaning.
Both elements lift simultaneously using the lifting hook provided. As the elements are raised to the
parked position, a safety switch fitted to the element mounting plate at the rear of the fryer
disconnects the power supply. The elements are reconnected to the power supply as they are
returned to the operating position. This is an additional safeguard and the unit must still be turned
off and isolated from the power supply.
1. Turn the unit off and isolate from the power supply, then remove the wire basket support and
element cover in that order. See section “Disassembly for cleaning” instructions.
2. Raise both elements out of the tank by lifting upward; using the element lifting hook located
onto the element support wires.
3. When fully raised, the elements will automatically latch in the upright parked position.
4. Remove any debris from the bottom of the tank.
5. Wash the tanks, top surface of the fryer body, basket support and cover plate with a warm
detergent solution.
6. Clean through the drain taps using a suitable brush.
7. Rinse out the tanks and drain taps, drying all areas thoroughly and flush through with a small
quantity of cooking oil to remove any traces of water.
8. Remove and wash the drain elbow.
9. Close the drain taps into the safe locked position (see “Draining the oil”).
10. To lower the elements back into the tanks; Lift the element slightly using the element lifting
hook located onto the element support wire, and then depress the latch button located on the
hobtop. Carefully lower the elements into the tank.
11. Replace the element cover, basket support in that order.
12. If it is not intended to refill the unit immediately, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the inside
of the tanks for protection against corrosion.

Disassembly for cleaning
WIRE BASKET SUPPORT
FASTENER
ELEMENT COVER
1. Lift the wire basket support from the mounting bosses.
2. Turn the fasteners anti-clockwise to release the element cover.
3. Re-assemble in reverse order.
Note: The baskets and drain tube can be cleaned using a suitable dishwasher.
General cleaning
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on your fryer, isolate it from the power
supply.
After use, clean the unit using a warm detergent solution, taking care not to contaminate the oil in
the tanks.
Do not use abrasives.
Do not use any products containing chlorine to clean stainless steel surfaces.
Do not clean the appliance using a water jet.
In extreme conditions a branded cleaner such as “Carbon off” may be used.
Basket loads
Overloading the basket reduces the fryer output of cooked product and will result in uneven
cooking. It also increases the possibility of surge boiling (the oil may suddenly boil over when the
basket is placed into the tank).
Food that is over-wet increases the possibility of surge boiling.
