Safety thermostat
All Valentine fryers are equipped with one safety
thermostat for each element. In case of overheating,
e.g. due to low oil level, the safety thermostat is
activated and stops the fryer from working. Similar-
ly, if room temperature drops below 0°, the safety
thermostat may also be activated.
Resetting the safety thermostat:
The safety thermostat is located behind the door.
The red lamp lights up when the safety thermostat
is activated. Make sure the pan has the correct level
of oil before resetting safety thermostat.
