COOKING SAFETY
WARNING:
Hot oil does not “look” hot. Do not be fooled into thinking that the oil is
cool because of its placid appearance.
WARNING:
Ensure that oil is changed or filtered regularly. Old or dirty oil has a
lower flash point and is more prone to surge boiling.
WARNING:
Always be careful when cooking frozen or over-wet food products as
these items are more prone to surge-boiling and are more likely to result in the
“spitting” of hot oil.
WARNING:
Do not overfill the cooking baskets beyond the guidelines. There is a
danger of surge boiling when attempting to cook too much product.
WARNING:
Never use copper or brass utensils in the cooking oil.
CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your fryer.
The fryer should be cleaned out daily, or more often if necessary.
Ensure the power is off and the fryer is cool before attempting to drain the cooking
oil or clean any part of the machine.
Wipe the fryer down with warm soapy water using a
damp
sponge or cloth.
Do not
spray the fryer with a water jet from a hose or pressure cleaner.
Filter the cooking oil daily if the fryer is constantly in use.
Although every care is taken during manufacture to remove all sharp edges, care
should be taken when cleaning to avoid injury.
Caution:
Some cleaning agents can damage stainless steel or the polycarbonates
and plastics used in switches and pilot lights, usually through prolonged use. For this
reason we recommend cleaning with soapy water only. Any damage to the unit
through the use of harsh or improper cleaning agents is entirely the fault of the user.
Warning:
No parts of this these units, with the exceptions of the cooking baskets,
lids, fish plates and strainers, should ever be immersed in water for cleaning or any
other purposes.
Note: We recommend that all electrical appliances be inspected annually with
reference to applicable Australian Standards to ensure compliance with changing
Standards is maintained. Such inspections should be carried out by a suitable
person conversant with the latest Standard updates.
