2. Installaon and Pre Operaon
2.1 Installaon
The Electric Fryer is to be installed onto a levelled, dry and clean surface approximately
850mm high. Make sure that the unit voltage and the voltage in the power source are
the same. Always ground the machine in accordance with the local laws, norms and
regulaons. Should you have any doubts consult an electrician.
The electrical feed cord has 3 round pins, one of them is the ground wire. Its is mandatory
that all 3 points are correctly connected before the machine is turned on.
1) Fit the hoop wire to the lower housing of the basket as shown in the pictures N°01 and
N°02.
The gure indicates displayed beside the external connecng terminal equipotenal.
This should be used to ensure there is no potenal dierence between dierent devices
connected to the power grid, reducing the maximum risk of electric shock.
The separate equipment must be connected to one another by their respecve
equipotenal connecon terminals.

2) Press the upper poron of the hoop wire against the upper housing of the basket unl
the basket is well t, as shown in pictures N°03 and N°04.
2.2 Pre Operaon
Before starng make sure that the electric fryer is rm on its posion and stable.
It is recommended to use the machine on a levelled, dry and clean surface at all mes,
avoiding accidents.
Before turning on the machine, ll the Tank N°04 (Picture.01) with 5 liters of comesble oil,
or unl the level mark is reached N°09 (Picture.01)
2.2.1 Procedure to place the hoop in the basket.
Please follow the illustraons below to correctly place the hoop in the basket :

8
(Picture.01)
3 - Start the equipment placing the ON/OFF Switch in the ON posion N°10 (Picture-01).
This will make the Pilot lamp light up (Green light) N°08 (Picture.01) indicang that the
machine is turned on.
4 - Program the temperature control (thermostat) N°07 (Picture.01) with the desired
temperature. This will make the thermostat pilot lamp light up (Orange light) N°11
(Picture.01)
5 - When the oil in the tank reaches the programmed temperature, the thermostat pilot
lamp (Orange Light) N°11 (Picture.01) will go out.
6 - The thermostat pilot lamp (Orange light) N°11 (Picture.01) will light up and go out always
when the oil temperature oscillates, this will ensure that the programmed temperature is
kept.
7 - Always place food that you wish to fry in the basket and then insert them in the oil.
When the frying process is over, to eliminate the excess of oil place the basket in the
Draining Support as shown on N°03 (Picture.01).
8 - When the frying process is over, li up the control panel, rotang it backwards in the
vercal posion as shown on Picture N°02. This will also li up the electric element allowing
the oil to be drained. By adopng this procedure a beer usage of the oil will be obtained.

3. Operaon
3.1 Starng
1 - Place the Plug into the Socket.
2 - Fill the tank with comesble oil unl the level mark is reached as shown on N°09

9
PICTURE 06
IMPORTANT
Be very careful when placing the food when the oil is heated up. Food must be
placed gradually (slowly). Sproung must be avoided. If sproung begins li up
the basket and slowly lower it back in the oil. Repeat this move as many mes as
necessary to avoid sproung. Sproung will be intense when lower temperature /
frozen food are placed in the heated oil.
IMPORTANT.
Remove the plug from its socket before to start cleaning. Before removing the oil
make sure it is cooled out.
1 – Remove the plug from the socket and wait for the oil to be cooled out.
2 - Before starng to clean the machine, remove all oil.
3 – Aer the complete removal of the oil from the tank N°04 (Picture.01), wash the internal
poron of the tank with water and neutral soap, rinse and dry it. For the remaining parts
of the machine use a lightly humid cloth.
4 – Aer using the machine please make sure all parts are cleaned as indicated on point 3.
3.2 Cleaning

10
3.4 Cauons with Stainless Steel
The Stainless Steel may present rust signs, which ARE ALWAYS CAUSED BY EXTERNAL
AGENTS, especially when the cleaning or sanizaon is not constant and appropriate.
PICTURE 07
01
IMPORTANT
Do not spray water directly on the equipment
IMPORTANT
This machine cannot be immersed in water or any other kind of liquid in order to
be cleaned.
3.3 Security system
This machine is also equipped with a safety thermostat, which has the funcon of
disconnecng the electrical resistance when the oil temperature reaches the maximum
allowable limit.
If during normal process of using the fryer, it o and not return to restart, ie, the oil does
not heat up again, turn o the thermostat temperature, disconnect the machine from the
mains and wait for the complete cooling oil.
Then press the Reset buon nº01 (Fig. 07) and note that the buon moves in, producing a
sound and feeling a “plec”. If this occurs, it indicates that the safety thermostat has been
triggered, then do not use more equipment, taking it to a Technical Assistance nearest
Authorized.

11
IMPORTANT
Acid soluons, salty soluons, disinfectants and some sterilizing soluons
(hypochlorites, tetravalent ammonia salts, iodine compounds, nitric acid and
others), must be AVOIDED, once it cannot remain for long in contact with the
stainless steel.
These substances aack the stainless steel due to the CHLORINE on its composion,
causing corrosion spots (ping). Even detergents used in domesc cleaning must not
remain in contact with the stainless steel longer than the necessary, being mandatory to
remove it with plain water and then dry the surface completely.
Use of abrasives:
Sponges or steel wool and carbon steel brushes, besides scratching the surface
and compromising the stainless steel protecon, leave parcles that rust and react
contaminang the stainless steel. That is why such products must not be used for cleaning
and sanizaon. Scrapings made with sharp instruments or similar must also be avoided.
Main substances that cause stainless steel corrosion:
Dust, grease, acid soluons such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc., saltern soluons (brine),
blood, detergents (except for the neutral ones), common steel parcles, residue of sponges
or common steel wool, and also other abrasives.
IMPORTANT
If any recommendaon is not applicable to your equipment, please ignore it.
4. General Safety Pracces
The Stainless Steel resistance towards corrosion is mainly due to the presence of chrome,
which in contact with oxygen allows the formaon of a very thin protecve coat. This
protecve coat is formed through the whole surface of the steel, blocking the acon of
external corrosive agents.
When the protecve coat is broken, the corrosion process begins, being possible to avoid
it by means of constant and adequate cleaning.
Cleaning must always be done immediately aer using the equipment. For such end, use
water, neutral soap or detergent, and clean the equipment with a so cloth or a nylon
sponge. Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately with a so cloth, this
way avoiding humidity on surfaces and especially on gaps.
The rinsing and drying processes are extremely important to prevent stains and corrosion
from arising.
