6. Starting up
Remove the pan lid.
Take the basket out of the pan.
CLOSE THE DRAIN VALVE.
Fill the pan to the MAX level with oil or place the frying
fat on top of the heating elements.
The MIN/MAX level is visible inside of the pan.
Warning
If you are in the "fat melting cycle" (FMC), always
remove the fish plate. Fat should be in direct contact
with the element.
Before using the fryer for the first time:
Clean the pan thoroughly. Secure the support bar of
the basket (1), which you will find in the frying basket.
6.1 Filling the tank
Refer to Section 2 for minimum and maximum pan
capacities.
DO NOT FILL the pan above the MAXIMUM level
mark. Add oil or fat when the MINIMUM level is
indicated.
To melt the fat, trun the knob to Position 2. The lights
(3) and (5) will illuminate. The fat will melt ab about
100+C and the process will take about 60 minutes.
When using oil, it is recommended that it will be
heated slowly using the fat melting cycle.
6.2 Frying
Select the temperature required (ideal setting: 180+C)
The pilot lights (3) and (4) will come on. When the
selected temperature is reached, the heating control
light will extinguish. Put the food to be fried in the
basket. Fill to a third or half of the basket capacity.
Give frozen products a good shake to remove ice
crystals before placing the basket into the oil.
Place the basket into the oil.
As soon as the food attains the required colour,
remove the basket and hang it upon the support
bar to drain.
Caution
Never leave the unit operating unsupervised!
If it is necessary to add oil during operation, use cold
oil. Pour it into the pan very slowly to avoid splashing,
such a condition can cause a risk of bruns.
Never mix fresh oil or fat with an old frying medium!
7. Warnings
The unit should never be operated when the pan is
empty. Should such a condition occur by mistake, the
safety thermostat will cut off power to the fryer.
Danger of fire if oil level does reach the lower
mark!
An overfilled basket or a basket filled with products
which are too wet (eg. ice crystals on frozen food) will
froth up the oil and reduce the quality of the fried food!
If the oil catches fire, use the lid to extinguish the
flames. Put the main switch on 0 and remove the
plug!
NEVER POUR WATER ON TO BURNING OIL !
To extinguish burning oil, it is necessary to have a fire
extinguisher or a fixed extinguishing system at hand.
Never attempt to move the unit when hot!
Before removal of the regeneration container to
change the oil, wait for it cool to 60ºC.
Old or spoiled oil will foam more easily and could
catch fire.
8. Daily maintenance
Open the drain valve (
1
) by rotating the lever a
quarter turn anti-clockwise.
Let the oil run at a minimum temperature of 60°C
into the regeneration container. The frying residues
will be retained by the coarse filter.
CLOSE THE DRAIN VALVE AGAIN.
Wipe the pan with a cloth.
Pour the filtered medium back into the pan, adding oil
if required, up to the MAXIMUM level mark.
Cover the pan with the lid provided.
Note:
Never mix fresh oil or fat with old. Mix oil with oil only
when no longer than half of the specified lifetime
of the medium has elapsed.
