Troubleshooting
Valentine TF3 fryers are fitted with a safety thermostat. These safety thermostats are placed in
the heater housing at the back of the fryer. The red reset button [6] is apparent underneath the
housing.
It is triggered when the oil temperature exceeds 230°C or in case there is no oil in the fryer
To reset the thermostat:
Stop the fryer
(thermostat switch [1] to Pos. "0")
and unplug the appliance
Allow the fryer to cool down
(to speed this process up lift the heating element and
place it on the lid). As long as the thermostat bulb attached to the heater is hot, you cannot
reset the safety thermostat
Press down firmly on the red button
(until you hear the « click » )
