B. Function
1. The EF series electric fryer is available in two models: one tank and
two tank fryer. The two tank fryer can fry two different kinds of
food without mixing the smell.
2. The unit is fitted with a thermostat which sets the temperature for
frying. There are also power and heating indicators to show the
heating status.
3. When the temperature of the oil rises to above the level above the

high limit, the safety cut-out device will cut off the power
automatically. This avoids danger from the unit temperature getting
too high and must be reset by hand.
4. When lifting the head unit, a micro-switch activates and cuts off
the power for safety and to prevent the element being dry burned.
5. The handle of frying basket can be folded and dismantled. The
removable oil tank is constructed from stainless steel and has oil
level calibration marks. The unit is easy to operate, clean, transport
and store.
6. The element has a protecting plate and is easy to withdraw from the
tank by lifting the head unit. This facilitates easy cleaning of the
element and the oil tank.

NOTE:
THE CIRCUITS FOR THE GF SERIES 1-TANK/2-TANK ELECTRIC
FRYER ARE DIFFERENT. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT 2-TANK ELECTRIC
FRYER HAS TWO TANKS AND TWO ELECTRIC BOXES AND TWO
SEPARATE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS.
E. Instruction
1. Check that the power supply is correct, and make sure the supplied
voltage is coordinated with the voltage required by the unit.
2. There is an oil level mark in the oil tank. During use the quantity
of oil in the oil tank should be kept between the “MAX” and
“MIN” levels.
3. 1) Plug the machine and switch on the power. The green indicator
illuminates. This shows that current has been supplied to the
machine.
2) Rotate the temperature controller clockwise, until the required
temperature is set. At that time, the yellow indicator illuminates

and green indicator switches off. This shows that the electric
element has stopped working and temperature of the oil in the tank
has risen to the correct level.
4. 1) When the temperature of the oil rises to the required temperature,
the temperature controller will cut off the power automatically.
2) When the temperature of the oil lowers, the temperature controller
switches the power back on automatically. The yellow indicator
illuminates, the green indicator switches off, and the electric heating
element works again causing the temperature of the oil to rise.
3) This process is repeated to ensure that the temperature of the oil
remains constant at the required temperature.
5. The lid of the tank is designed to keep the tank clean and to retain
heat. When putting on the lid, please make sure there is no water on
it in case water drops into the tank and causes oil splashes.
6. 1) The enclosed frying basket is for frying small food. There is a
hook and handle on the basket.
2) Immerse the basket in the oil when operating. When frying is
finished, lift the basket and rest it on the front notch of the tank to
drain the oil. The user can put large food into the tank directly to
fry.
7. After use, rotate the temperature controller anti-clockwise as far as
it will go to cut off the power.

8. 1) Pour the old oil out of the pot when the temperature drops to
normal.
2) First switch off the power, fish plate out of the tank, and then
take the fryer head out of the back notch in the bottom box. Electric
heating tube and electric box are removed from the tank, and
should be put in a suitable, safe place. The oil tank can now be
cleaned.
9. In order to make sure the fryer remains safe and lasts for a long
time, the user should clean out the dregs of oil and dirt from the
element.
10.The fish plate in the oil tank is designed to protect the element.
Make sure to put the partition board into the tank when frying food.
11.1) There is temperature in electric box. The moving temperature is
230ºC; reset temperature is less 170ºC.
2) There is a reset button which must be pressed when the high
temperature limit cut out has been activated. This button is located
below the fryer head. Press the reset button to restart.
12.There is a micro switch in the fryer head. When the head is put
into the bottom unit of the fryer, the electricity is connected, and
when it is lifted out the electricity is disconnected.
13.Fresh vegetable oil should be used to avoid the risk of boiling over.
Do not use old oil because it will have a reduced flash-point and be

more prone to surge boiling.
F. Notes for installation
1. The voltage for this equipment must be coordinated with the supply
voltage.
2. User should install a suitable power switch and breaker switch near
the fryer.
3. At the back of the unit is the earth bolt. Please connect the earth
wire in compliance with the safety regulations reliably with copper
cable of no less than 2mm².
4. Before use, check whether every connection is formed, voltage is
normal and ground connection is safe.
5. Do not use water to clean the electric box directly.
6. The installation of this fryer must be done by professionals.
Notice
●This equipment must be operated by trained cook or professionals.
●Do not dismantle and refit the machine. Any dismantling or
alteration could cause serious accidents.
●Do not clean the product with a water jet or immerse the electric box
into water while cleaning as this creates the risk of electric shock.
●High temperature can cause burns. When the fryer is in use and before
or after being used, do not touch directly the body of the unit because
of high temperature.

●Do not use a power supply with incorrect voltage.
Do not use a main switch that does not comply with safety regulations.
●
In thunderstorm conditions, unplug the unit to avoid damage from
power surges.
●
Take care not to damage the unit with hard objects.
●After using, please shut off main switch.
●The installation and maintenance of electric circuit must be carried out
by professionals.
●
If the power cord is damaged, the user should consult the manufacturer,
maintenance department or professionals to repair.
Warning!
●When using ensure that your hands, plug and switch are dry.
●Oil should not be allowed to get lower than the minimum oil level. Do not dry
burn.
●Do not use water to clean the electric box directly or immerse the electric box into
water to clean.
●Do not use old oil to fry because it will cause over boiling.
