Dear Customer,
Congratulations on purchasing a Valentine fryer, a product of the best quality well known in
Europe for 50 years.
The following operating instructions are based on
EC
and international regulations, as well
as on the new product liability.
1. Important information
1.1 Warning
Before using the fryer you must:
⇒
study the following operating instructions and follow them closely
⇒
instruct the operating personnel and make them aware of the risk presented by
food remains.
Valentine Fabrique SA accepts no liability for damage caused through improper
operation and failure to adhere to these operating instructions.
1.2 Risks from food
remnants
•
Hot oil can cause severe burning.
Therefore avoid any direct contact with the hot oil.
•
Thoroughly drain the food to be fried before frying.
•
Never allow water or ice to come into contact with the hot oil,
otherwise the oil will spatter.
•
Ensure that your face is not near the oil pan when food is
immersed in it.
•
Beware of clouds of steam and hot oil spray.
•
Never allow anything but food to drop into the oil pan, e.g. gas
cartridges, sealed bushings, etc. These explode and cause
considerable spattering of oil.
•
The fryer must not be operated without supervision. If a large
amount of smoke develops, switch off immediately (switch to
“ 0 ”)
•
The oil level must not drop below the "MIN" oil level mark. If the
oil level is too low there is a fire risk.
•
N.B.: Old or frequently used oil/fat has a lower flash point and is
more easily ignited. It may suddenly boil over when food is
immersed.
•
If the fryer catches fire, never extinguish with water. It is
recommended that a fire extinguisher or fire extinguishing
blanket be installed near the fryer.
Valentine fryers conform to the most stringent safety standards and are equipped with
breakage-proof temperature limiters. Damage or fault must be excluded wherever humanly
possible.
1.3 Periodic inspections
♦
Have the operation of the working thermostat and security thermostat checked (see 5.3)
