be taken to ensure that the total volume of oil placed in the tanks is neither under or
over the oil level marks as described above in
“Oil Level”. During this phase, the
fryer will remain protected by the control thermostat and the thermal cut-out.
When melting is complete the melt switch should be returned to the OFF position
and the fish plate lowered carefully into the tank.
The fryer is now ready for cooking.
COOKING
1. Fill the fryer tank with oil as described above.
2.
Rotate the main switch to the “ON” position. The green pilot light will
illuminate, indicating that the power is on.
3. Rotate the thermostat selector switches to the COOK position.
4. Rotate the primary thermostat knob to select the desired cooking
temperature. For cooking, a setting of between 170° and 180°C should suffice
but experience will dictate the best temperature for the particular food being
cooked. When the temperature has been set the associated amber pilot light
will illuminate, indicating that heating is taking place. When the oil has
reached the set temperature the amber pilot light will be extinguished. The
thermostat will then continue to cycle on and off, maintaining the set
temperature. The amber pilot light will also cycle on and off with the
thermostat.
Once the fryer has reached the set temperature, it is ready for cooking to
commence. The set temperature will be displayed on the temperature display
panel.
Note:
the temperature displayed will fluctuate and will not display a static
value equal to the set temperature of the thermostat.
Lower the filled baskets into the oil carefully and do not over fill them. Refer to the
specifications page to determine the maximum load you should work with. Shaking
the baskets occasionally during cooking will help prevent the food from sticking
together.
Cooking time will vary with the type of food product being cooked and experience
will guide you. With use, standard batch sizes, temperatures and cooking times can
be established to enable consistent results.
To obtain the optimum results from your fryer we recommend the following
guidelines.
Keep salt away from the cooking oil. Salt degrades the oil.
Check your oil to food ratio, 6:1 oil to food is recommended.
Top up the cooking oil regularly.
