INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
This appliance must be earthed.
An equipotential bonding terminal is provided to allow cross bonding with other
equipment.
If replacing the plug connect the terminals as follows:
Green and Yellow wire Earth E
Blue wire Neutral N
Brown wire Live L
Means of isolation with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles must be
incorporated into the fixed wiring of this appliance.
The fixed wiring insulation must be protected by insulated sleeving having a
temperature rating of at least 60 Deg C.
Supply cords shall be oil resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter than ordinary
polychloroprene or equivalent elastomer sheathed cord (code 60245 IEC 57).
Do not install adjacent to any appliance that has an exposed flame.
Site beneath an extraction canopy.
If this appliance is fitted with castors, use caution at all times when manipulating or
moving, and lock castors when appliance is in position.
Install this appliance on a level surface ensuring all vents are unobstructed. Any
partitions, walls or furniture must be of non-combustible material. Minimum
distances A 100mm B 1000mm –see Fig 1.
Do not operate without oil in the tank.

Fig 1
Fitting the Stabilising Kit (Fig 2)
The stabilising kit must be fitted to prevent accidental toppling of the appliance and
to ensure a safe working environment.
Fit the adjustable stabiliser centrally to the underside of the front cross member of
the appliance (A) using the M5 x 16 hex screws and shake proof washers provided.
Ensure the tongue of the bracket is facing rearward and adjusted to sit just off the
floor(C).
Position the appliance in the intended place. Place the floor plate (D) on the floor
so that it fits over the tongue of the stabiliser.

IS 271 ECN 3607 Page 6 of 16
Mark locating hole positions of the floor plate. Drill out holes and fit supplied
rawlplugs.
Screw the floor plate in position using 12g screws.
Adjust height position (B) of stabiliser tongue if necessary.

Electrical supply and connection
Remove the rear panel to gain access to connections.
If connecting OE7113 or OE7108 appliances to two mains supplies, remove link
wires between terminal blocks.
The appliance is fitted with a safety cutout switch on the element mounting that
disconnects the supply to the element when it is raised in the cleaning position.
Commissioning
Ensure that the drain taps are closed and clean the tanks thoroughly with a warm,
mild detergent solution.
Rinse the tanks, tap and drain pipe and dry thoroughly.
Run a small quantity of oil across the bottom of the tanks. Attach the drain elbow
and open the drain tap to drain through.
Close the drain tap and fill the tank with oil between the minimum and maximum
levels (see Technical Data for capacities).

IS 271 ECN 3607 Page 7 of 16
With the control in the ‘Off’ position, switch appliance on at the isolator –the green
neon will illuminate.
Turn the control knob to the required temperature –the corresponding amber neon
will illuminate.
The amber neon will extinguish when temperature is reached, and operate
intermittently as the element cycles.
Operationally check the appliance by setting the thermostat to 190oC and checking
the temperature of the oil at the geometric centre of the tank 25mm below the
surface. The temperature should be within +/- 5oC of the set temperature.
Ensure that the end user understands how to operate, shutdown and clean the
appliance, and is aware of the position of the isolating switch.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Only qualified or trained personnel should use this appliance.
General advice
Always drain product before frying. Ensure water is never introduced into the oil as
this will cause splashing and possible overflow from the tank.
Do not operate with dust cover in place.
Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst operating.
Keep the oil level maintained between the minimum and maximum markers.
For maximum efficiency, do not overload the baskets with product as it will result in
reduced recovery times, uneven cooking and increased risk of surge boiling.
Oil should be filtered regularly. Old oil has a reduced flashpoint and is more prone
to surge boiling.
Operation
Remove the dust cover and locate it behind the wire basket support at the rear of
the tanks.
Check that the drain taps are closed and locked.
Fill the tank with oil between the minimum and maximum markers on the rear tank
wall.
Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch - the green neon indicates power to
the appliance. Turn the control knob to the required setting.

IS 271 ECN 3607 Page 8 of 16
The amber neon illuminates to indicate the operation of the elements.
When the amber neon extinguishes, temperature is reached and cooking may
begin. The amber neon will cycle as the element operates to maintain oil
temperature.
Safety thermostat
Should the appliance fail to operate, the safety thermostat may need resetting. This
is a red button on the rear wall of the inside of the cupboard beneath the tanks.
Allow the appliance to cool down and then press the button to reset. Should the
appliance still fail to operate, consult a qualified engineer.
CLEANING
Do not use a water jet or steam cleaner, and do not immerse this appliance.
Draining the oil
Allow the oil to cool to at least 55oC.
Screw the drain elbow (A) onto the drain tap (Fig 3) and place a suitable container
under the outlet of the elbow.
Fig 3
Open the tap (Fig 4) and drain the oil. In the normal position the lever is free-
moving to prevent accidental opening of the valve. Ensure that the handle and
drive are never held engaged by accidental means to always maintain this safety
feature. To operate the valve, depress the handle at A to engage onto the square

IS 271 ECN 3607 Page 9 of 16
drive B and turn to open or close C. Fig 4 shows the various valve positions across
the full range of appliances.
Fig 4
Once drained, close the tap to the free moving position and unscrew the elbow.
Cleaning tanks
Food debris can be a health risk –ensure the tanks are cleaned thoroughly after
use.
N.B. The elements can be raised from the tanks to allow easy access for cleaning.
As the elements are raised to the parking position, a safety switch disconnects the
power supply. The power is reconnected when they are returned to the operating
position. This is an additional safeguard –the appliance must be isolated from the
supply whilst cleaning.
Lift off the wire basket support Fig 5 (A), undo the knurled knobs and remove the
element cover (B).

Using the lifting hook, raise elements out of tank by lifting upwards until they latch
into the parked position (Fig 6).
