What to do if the thermal cut-out trips for the first time:
There are a number of possible causes of this behaviour. One of the possibilities is
a thermostat failure. You may follow the procedure below as a first step to rectifying
the problem.
1. Switch the fryer OFF and allow it to cool to approximately 100°C.
2. Visually determine which of the two thermal cut-outs has tripped.
3. Reset the thermal cut-out by pressing the red reset button. The control is reset
when the button remains depressed. An audible click will also be heard.
4. Re-set the thermostat to the normal operating temperature and observe the unit
closely. If the unit trips the thermal cut-out switch again, continue to step 5. If
no cut-out occurs within an hour, continue to use the machine and monitor the
temperature of the oil.
5. If the unit has activated the thermal cut-out switch twice in a short time, set the
thermostat selector switch to the SECONDARY/IDLE position. This procedure
assumes you were using the primary thermostat. If you were using the
secondary thermostat when the fault occurred, then select the PRIMARY/COOK
position in this procedure.
6. Cooking can now resume.
If the fryer continues to perform without any further tripping of the thermal cut-out,
then there is a strong possibility that the thermostat that was use at the time is
faulty. This should be attended to by qualified electrical personnel.
What to do if the thermal cut-out trips a second time:
If the thermal cut-out trips again after following the above procedure, it indicates
that there is a serious electrical problem that needs to be addressed immediately.
In such cases follow the procedure below.
1. Turn OFF the fryer immediately. There may be a danger of fire.
2. DO NOT reset the thermal cut-out.
3. Seek advice from qualified electrical personnel. They will be able to
check the fryer for faults and make any necessary repairs.
Resume operation of the fryer
only
after it has been cleared for use by the
electrical personnel charged with the repair.
