Operation

 

Pre-Heating 

1. 

Light the main burners and manually cycle the burners ‘On’/ ‘Off’ until the shortening has liquefied.  

Ideally the main burners should be cycled ‘On’ for 5 seconds and ‘Off’ for 10 seconds.  Following this 

procedure should allow shortening to liquefy gradually without scorching. 

2. 

Once the shortening has liquefied, it can be brought up to fryer operating temperature. 

 

NOTE: Running burners continuously will cause shortening in contact with the tank to 

overheat, resulting in premature oil breakdown.  Never allow the shortening to smoke 

while melting as this indicates that the temperature is too high.  If the shortening 
starts smoking, increase the ‘Off' intervals of the main burners. 

 

Lighting the Main Burners 

1. 

Turn ‘ON’ the main power switch to the fryer, which is located behind the main access door.  The red 
LED indicator on the main power switch will illuminate and the ‘Green’ neon indicator on the control 

panel will also illuminate when the fryer is switched ‘ON’. 

2. 

Check that the 2 lock out indicator lights on the left hand side of the control panel are not 

illuminated.  If any of the lock out indicator lights are illuminated, press the left or right hand burner 
reset switches on either side of the main power switch to reset the control system for that side 

burner. 

3. 

Set the thermostat to the required frying temperature. 

4. 

The ‘Orange’ neon indictor next to the thermostat will illuminate when burners are on and will go out 

when oil is at the pre-set temperature. 

5. 

If the left or right ‘Red’ ‘Lock Out’ indicators illuminate, press the left or right hand burner reset 
switches on either side of the main power switch to reset the control system for that burner. 

 

Setting the Operating Temperature 

 

1. 

The temperature used for frying food is the most important aspect of fryer operation.  Incorrect 

temperatures will result in poor product quality and will reduce the life of the oil / shortening. 

2. 

WALDORF 'FAST-FRI' fryers feature a thermostat which is accurate to 1°C. 

3. 

The temperature can be set from 90°C to 195°C, although we do not recommend any food to be 

cooked above 190°C. 

4. 

The main burners will operate automatically to maintain this temperature. 

5. 

In order to obtain the best results with your fryer and the product cooked in it, the following pages 
detail recommended temperatures and a practical guide to frying.  Time spent reading this 

information will assist in obtaining a cooked product of exceptional quality and taste. 

6. 

As a safety precaution all WALDORF 'FAST-FRI' fryers feature an Over-Heat control which will turn 

off the fryer in the event that the oil reaches over 220°C, should there be a thermostat failure. 

7. 

If a fault occurs or the fryer is not functioning correctly, contact your local service agent.

 

C

AUTION

 

Turning ‘OFF’ the thermostat does not turn ‘OFF’ the main power to the fryer.  
The power should ALWAYS be turned off at the main power switch located  
behind the access door. 

 

 

Should any abnormal operation like; 
    - ignition problems, 
    - abnormal burner flame, 
    - burner control problems, 
    - partial or full loss of burner flame in normal operation, be noticed, the appliance requires 

IMMEDIATE service by a qualified service person and should not be used until such service 

is carried out.
