Dear Customer,
Congratulations on purchasing a Valentine fryer, a product of the best quality well known in
Europe for 50 years.
The following operating instructions are based on EC and international regulations, as well
as on the new product liability.
1. Important information
1.1 Warning
Before using the fryer you must:
⇒study the following operating instructions and follow them closely
⇒instruct the operating personnel and make them aware of the risk presented by
food remains.
Valentine Fabrique SA accepts no liability for damage caused through improper
operation and failure to adhere to these operating instructions.
1.2 Risks from food
remnants
•Hot oil can cause severe burning.
Therefore avoid any direct contact with the hot oil.
•Thoroughly drain the food to be fried before frying.
•Never allow water or ice to come into contact with the hot oil,
otherwise the oil will spatter.
•Ensure that your face is not near the oil pan when food is
immersed in it.
•Beware of clouds of steam and hot oil spray.
•Never allow anything but food to drop into the oil pan, e.g. gas
cartridges, sealed bushings, etc. These explode and cause
considerable spattering of oil.
•The fryer must not be operated without supervision. If a large
amount of smoke develops, switch off immediately (switch to
“ 0 ”)
•The oil level must not drop below the "MIN" oil level mark. If the
oil level is too low there is a fire risk.
•N.B.: Old or frequently used oil/fat has a lower flash point and is
more easily ignited. It may suddenly boil over when food is
immersed.
•If the fryer catches fire, never extinguish with water. It is
recommended that a fire extinguisher or fire extinguishing
blanket be installed near the fryer.
Valentine fryers conform to the most stringent safety standards and are equipped with
breakage-proof temperature limiters. Damage or fault must be excluded wherever humanly
possible.
1.3 Periodic inspections
♦Have the operation of the working thermostat and security thermostat checked (see 5.3)

3. Installation
Erect fryer, to level rotate the setscrews underneath the front feet.
The fryer must not stand on combustible surfaces. Local safety regulations must be complied with.
N.B.: The slimline fryers V200 and V200T, as well as V250 and V250T, must not be freely erected (risk of
tipping over). They must be installed between 2 units of furniture, or they must be supported on the sides.
3.1 Electrical connection
Only experts may connect and commission the fryers.
Your mains data (voltage, current, fuse protection) must conform to the data on the fryer rating plate (The rating
plate is mounted on the inside of the door (Figs. 1 to 3 = D).
The electrical connection must conform to local regulations, essentially as follows :
- Fitting a mains plug on the connecting cable. Earth conductor = yellow/green, neutral conductor = blue
Phase sequence is immaterial.
- Any fixed connection must be made via a mains switch with all-pole isolation (min. contact distance 3 mm.).
- Before connection is made to the mains, check that the main switch "E" of the fryer is in the "0" position.
Never heat without oil !
3.2 Installation examples
A considerable amount of steam is generated when preparing chips. A good steam extractor is strongly
recommended.
3.2.1 Installation example I (Fig. 1)
Wall socket [F] resistant to dripping water IP X2 or water spray IP X4
3.2.2 Installation example II (Fig. 2)
Fryer free-standing or next to cooking range. Connection column [H] with socket IP X2 or IP X4
3.2.3 Installation example III (Fig. 3)
Connection box [J] with 3P+N isolating switch arranged above fryer. Cable permanently connected. Because of
the considerable steam generated the box must be watertight IP X5.
3.3 Cleaning
Pull the fryer forward [K] to clean the rear wall and bottom (Fig. 4). The cable must therefore be long enough to
do this.

4. Instructions for use
4.1 Pouring in oil
Grip lid [1] (Fig. 5, page 6) by handle [3] and
place inside the door [21] (hinge at the top)
◊Whilst working, the folded lid is supported inside the
door.
Pour peanut oil into the fryer basin as far as
the MAX level mark [24]
◊Solid fat must first be melted in a pan, not on the
heating element!
4.2 Operation : Melting - frying
Open door, move switch [7] to "Melt" position
Switch thermostat to 150°, for example
⇒Upper colourless signal lamp [8] on the right comes on.
Reduced power for block of fat in fryer, also economic
heating of oil, approx. 10-15 minutes.
⇒Yellow signal lamp on the left comes on.
As soon as the first order is taken, turn switch
[7] to "Fry".
Switch thermostat to approx. 180°
⇒Lower colourless lamp on the right comes on
⇒Yellow "Heat" lamp comes on
⇒The temperature reaches 180°in 2-3 minutes
As soon as the green cook light comes on,
immerse basket
Set timer, e.g. 3 minutes. As soon as the timer
sounds, raise basket, shake and suspend.
⇒After half the frying time raise and shake basket. Do
not knock against oil pan.
Always top up with oil after use. When the oil level is too low the power drops considerably
and the oil is overheating.
Never operate below the "MIN" oil level mark.
Never overfill basket.

4.4 Care of oil
Filter the oil after each use, approx. at 60°C. N.B: Risk of combustion!
Open door, turn main switch [7] to “ 0 ” position. Turn red
lever [26] of oil cock complete downward, and at the
same time push the safety pin to the right. Oil flows
through the filter [27] into the tank [28]
⇒Do not heat when oil pan is empty!
⇒Is the cleaned filter on the tank ?
⇒Pour oil back into the fryer.
⇒Clean filter and tank.
Finally cover the oil pan with the lid mounted in the door.
Frying basket is stainless.
⇒The lid protects the oil from dust and light.
⇒Is washed once a week.
* Important: If you do not open the drain cock completely (red lever in vertical position), the drain
cock can be damaged!
4.5 Maintenance of fryer, changing oil
The fryer must be thoroughly cleaned when the oil is changed. As soon as the oil turns brown and
begins to smoke (after approx. 20 to 40 operating hours, according to the operating temperature and
grade of oil), the oil must be changed.
Waste oil must not be poured into the drain.
You must deliver waste oil to a disposal service.
Open door, turn main switch to “ 0 ”. Lift heating element
into the drain position “ L ”. Drain oil, remove tank and
clean filter.
⇒Do not lift heating element fully, otherwise
oil will run along the rod to the heating
element box = additional cleaning.
Pour boiling water with a degreasing agent (soda) into
the oil pan up to approx. 5 cm. above the "MAX" oil level
mark. If you clean daily you will never have encrustation
on the heating element or oil pan!
⇒Allow the oil pan to operate for 1-2 hours,
and clean heating element with a brush with
a handle. Do not damage the thermostat
sensor. Now raise heating element fully and
clean oil pan down to the bottom. After
cleaning, rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Residues of cleaning agents or detergents
ruin the fresh oil you are pouring in.
Wipe the oil pan and heating element clean with a dry
cloth. Close oil cock, pour in fresh oil up to the “ MAX ”
level [24]
⇒Raise the heating element. Push back the
interlock [35] and tilt the heating element
fully down above the drain position.
Exclusive advantages of your Valentine fryer:
Higher power due to dialogue
system (US + European patent)
⇒When the green cook light comes on, immerse
basket immediately. The thermostat does not
switch off and the fryer is at maximum power.
Automatic saving (patent) ⇒During the waiting time the fryer only heats at
half power, saving oil and power.
Super heating ⇒Very long heating elements, all in chromium
steel, low loading, saves oil.
Thermostat ⇒Reacts very quickly. Sensor in centre of oil pan.

5.3 Safety thermostat
Every heating element is fitted with a breakage-proof temperature limiter. The reset button is located
behind the door on the upper edge of the control panel. (Fig 5, no. 16, page 6). The red signal lamp
[19] to the right of the reset button lights up as soon as the temperature limiter switches off.
The safety thermostat ∗when oil temperature is over 230 oC
breaks the heating circuit ∗when capillary tube is damaged
∗when temperature drops below 0 oC
and also in the case ∗if fryer is heated without oil
of improper use ∗if the oil level is too low
∗if you drain the oil before switching off the fryer
∗If the heating element is not in the correct position in the oil pan
∗if a block of fat is melted on the heating element
Resetting the safety thermostat
Before resetting, find out why it has switched off (see above list).
- Allow fryer to cool. The thermostat sensor on the heating element cannot be switched on if it
has not cooled down (to accelerate cooling raise heating element to the drain position).
- Push the red button [16]. Lamp [19] will go out. N.B. Fryer is heating! If the safety thermostat
switches off again the fryer must be switched off. Inform the service centre.
5.4 Safety switch
As soon as the heating element is raised to the "drain" position the safety switch (Fig. 5, page 6, no.
36) interrupts the power supply.
