SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The units are provided with wire mesh basket(s)
which may be located upon the pan rear for draining
etc. A removable dust cover is provided to be placed
over the pan(s) when not in use. A pan strainer is
positioned in the cool zone at the pan bottom to
collect oil sediment during the cooking operation.
Oil temperature is controlled by an adjustable users
thermostat and a pre-set safety thermostat.
The multifuncional gas control has the pilot, main gas
and flame failure controls built in. If the pilot flame
should extinguish for any reason, or if the main gas
supply is turned off the burner will shut down until the
lighting procedure is repeated.
A spark igniter is fitted tolight the pilot and a drain
valve is located within the controls compartment to
empty the pan when necessary.

User Thermostat
This is an adjustable setting device which will provide
frying temperatures up to190
o
C.
Safety Thermostat
This is pre-set at the factory. In the event of a
thermostat failure the safety stat will shut the gas off
at the pilot and main burners should the oil
temperature rise above 230
o
C.
This device can be reset by a push of the red button.
Gas Control
Situated at the top side of the multifunctional control,
the control knob is set correctly when the appropriate
symbol is alongside the pointer. (See Figure 2)
FlameFailureDevice
Operated by the pilot flame. If the pilot becomes
extinguished, gas will be shut off from the main
burner.
Warning
If the pilot is turned off for any reason, wait a
minimum of three minutes before attempting to relight
it. The burner gas control is built-in to the flame failure
device and the method of operation is detailed below
SECTION 2 - LIGHTING and OPERATION
Lighting
A 20 second delay (approx.) will occur between
establishing a pilot flame and burner ignition.
Operating The Fryer
The unit will operate automatically with the burner
going out when the desired temperature is reached.
No further operation of the control knob is necessary
until the cooking cycle is over
Choiceof Frying Medium
A good quailty vegetable oil is preferred. However,
pure edible dripping may be used providing that the
thermostat setting does not exceed 180
o
C.
The smoke point will be reached above such a
setting and the fat will break up and deteriorate.
Important
In order to meet the requirements of the Fire
Precautions Act 1971, the unit should always be
turned off when unattended.
Warning
It is dangerous to use oil which is too old as it has a
reduced flash point temperature and is prone to surge
boiling. Change the oil regularly to prevent risk to the
operator.
Caution
Toprevent surge bo
iling, dono
t exceed the
recommended loads and never charge the pan with
over-wet food items. Never leave a working fryer
unattended.
Caution
Overheating of oil should be avoided.
Replenishing Oil When Fryer Is Hot
Caution - It is recommended that replenishment of oil
should take place when the fryer is cool.
Recommended Filling levels
Caution - Always maintain an oil level between the
maximum and minimum levels indicated on the pan
wall rear.
Initial Charging Of ThePan
Prior to first time use, the pan should be thoroughly
cleaned using hot water and detergent. Rinse and dry
upon completion.
Make sure that the drain valve is closed. Fill the pan
with oil up to the level indicated by the strip on the well
rear. Approximate capacity is :
G1808X - 15 litres
G1838X - 24 litres
G1848X - 2 x 15 litres
If solid fat is used, remove the basket supports from
the pan bottom(s). Apply fat in small pieces and melt
at a thermostat setting of 120
o
C. Add fat until the
required level has been achieved. Solid fat should
always be melted at a low setting. Set frying
temperature when the fat has disappeared.
