Congratulations on your purchase of a Valentine fryer a product of the best quality well known
in Europe for over 60 years.
This product will work optimally for many years if you respect a few basic rules outlined in this
manual.
Warnings:
Make sure the appliance is connected by a qualified person in accordance with current stand-
ards.
This appliance is designed for professional use such as in the kitchens of restaurants hotels
and community centre canteens. It is not designed for frying in bulk in industrial food produc-
tion processes.
Do not operate unattended!
Make sure that children cannot access the appliance and users are properly
instructed.
Hot oil can cause severe burning. Avoid any direct contact with the hot oil Ensure
that your face is not near the oil pan when food is immersed in it. Thoroughly
drain the food to be fried before frying.
Never allow water or ice to come into contact with the hot oil.
Oil will spray out and the tank will overflow!
Beware of steam and splashes of oil when cooking
Never put anything other than food into the oil pan e.g. sealed containers etc. oth-
erwise these may explode and splash out burning hot oil.
The oil level must never go above the "MAX" lever or drop below the "MIN" level. If
the oil level is too low there is a fire risk.
Old oil or frequently used fat is more easily ignited.
If the fryer catches fire, never extinguish with water. It is recommended that a
fire extinguisher and fire extinguishing blanket be installed near the fryer.
The appliances must be disconnected from their power supply
during any intervention with tools or when replacing parts.
Do not use if the power cable is defective. The cable must be replaced immediately by
a qualified member of the after-sales service team respectively by Valentine Fabrique
SA or your official dealer.
alentine Fabrique SA accepts no liability for damage caused through
improper use of the fryer or failure to adhere to these operating instructions.
Welcome - Safety
Please read this manual carefully before installing and commissioning the appliance.
Keep it for future reference.

Commissioning
♦ If there is a protective plastic sheet this needs to be re-
moved.
♦ The voltage current and power must correspond to the
information specified on the rating plate [17] on the back of
Heating element box [21] of the appliance.
♦ In all cases the fryer must be connected to the safety earth
with the connection cable [16].
♦ Clean the tank with warm soapy water then
dry well.
Check that the drain valve is fully closed be-
fore filling.
Important safeguards:
Before connecting the power and/or filling with oil, set the switch [1] to
"0". Never heat up without oil!
Safety switch:
Once the heating element is raised more than 5 mm, the safety switch
is activated and interrupts the current.
make sure that the heating element housing is resting on the edge of
the tank and that the two rods [14] fixed to the chassis go into the housing.
Filling oil:
Pour oil into the tank as far as the MAX level mark [8]
It is not advisable to use animal and vegetable fats that solidify. If the use of the fat
cannot be avoided it must be melted in a pan. Never melt hard blocks of fat on the
heating element.
Always top up with oil after use. When the oil level is too low the efficiency drops con-
siderably and the oil is overheating.

23
Cooking
Switching on
Turn the knob of the switch thermostat [1] to
the temperature you require for example 180
o C
 The white control lamp [2] lights up
 The control lamp [yellow 3] lights up
As soon as the green control lamp [4] lights
up lower the basket into the oil
* The Maxi-5 model has no green control lamp
 Place the basket directly on the heating
element
At the end of the cooking time (see table be-
low) lift the basket slightly and shake it hori-
zontally in the tank
 Hang the basket in the suspension
bracket for the basket [6]
 Allow the oil to drain off
After each use turn the thermostat switch [1]
to the "0" position
 Cover the fryer with the lid that is deliv-
ered with the appliance

How to save oil:
Do not leave the fryer heating for hours before or after service (the heating time is
only 5 minutes): high temperatures ruin the oil even without food! Limit the temper-
ature of the oil (180o C instead of the max): oil life is extended by approx. 40 %!
After each service pour oil through a microfilter (available as option) This retains even micro-
scopic waste and can be reused many times.
If you make a lot of chips water will accumulate in the bottom of the tank. To prevent
it from overflowing it is necessary to regularly drain approximately 1 to 2 litres in
order to remove this water.

24
Changing the oil and maintenance
Follow the local guidelines for the disposal of waste oil!
Changing the oil
It is highly recommended that you thoroughly clean the fryer when you change the oil. As soon
as the oil turns brown and begins to smoke (after approx. 50 to 80 operating hours) the oil
must be changed. Never change the oil when it is still too hot.
Set the switch [1] to "0".
Wait until the oil has cooled sufficiently. Empty
the tank [20] and close the valve [10]
 Drain off the oil
Pour boiling water with a detergent (e.g. sodi-
um hydroxide) in the tank up to approx. 5 cm
above the oil level mark [8] (1-2 times per
week)
 Leave to work for 10 to 30 minutes rinse
the tank and the coil of the heating element
[9] with a brush (not made of metal). Do not
damage the bulbs of the thermostat [13] with
sharp or pointed tools
Remove the heating element box.  Do not immerse the housing in liquid
Also clean the bottom of the tank. Drain the
water
 After cleaning rinse the tank out well with
warm water any leftover detergent will have a
very harmful effect on the fresh oil that you
put in the fryer
These appliances are separable the tank can
be removed from the frame
Putting the tank back in the frame
 Tanks and frames can be
washed in the dishwasher
 To do this the valve must
be in the "open" position
Close the valve [10] and refill the tank with
fresh oil up to the "MAX" level [8]
 Put the heating element housing properly
back on locked properly in place on the 2
push nipples [14]
After use cover the fryer with its lid  The light affects the quality of the oil
Do not use water jets or pressurised steam to clean the appliance!

25
Safety thermostat
All Valentine fryers are fitted with a safety thermostat for each tank. These safety thermostats
are placed in the heating element box at the back of the fryer. The red reset button [15] goes
up underneath the housing.
It is triggered:
• when the oil temperature exceeds 230°C
• when the capillary tube is damaged
• when the temperature falls below 0°C
or when the appliance is not being used properly:
• when it is being heated without oil or the oil level is too low
• when it is being drained without triggering the switch
• when a block of fat is being melted directly on the heating element
To reset the fryer:
• Stop the fryer (thermostat switch [1] to Pos. "0")
• Allow the fryer to cool down (to speed this process up lift the heating element and
place it on the lid). Until the thermostat bulb [13] attached to the heating element cooled
down you cannot reset the safety thermostat
• Press down firmly on the red button [15] (until you hear the "click")
