Lighting the Main Burners
1.
Ensure that the pilot burners are alight, by opening the front access door of the appliance and
checking that both pilot flames are alight.
2.
Depress and rotate the gas control knob to the ‘Full Flame’ position.
3.
The main burners will now ignite automatically off the pilot burners.
NOTE:
•
If the main burners are turned on immediately after the pilot burners are lit, a delay
of approximately 30 seconds will occur until the thermopile (which provides power to
open the main valve) has heated up off the pilot burners.
•
The main burners will not light if the frying medium temperature is above the
thermostat set temperature.
•
Turning the gas control knob from the pilot to the main burner position will allow
manual cycling of the burners ‘On’ and ‘Off’ when melting shortening.
Turning ‘OFF’ the Fryer
To the ‘Pilot’ Position
a. Depress and rotate the gas control valve clockwise to the ‘Pilot’ position.
b. The main burners will extinguish and the ‘Pilot’ will remain alight.
To the ‘Off’ Position
a. Depress and rotate the gas control valve fully clockwise to the ‘Off’ position.
b. The ‘Pilot’ burners will extinguish.
c. Rotate the thermostat to the ‘O’ position.
Setting the Operating Temperature
1.
Rotate the gas control knob to the required temperature.
2.
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.
3.
BLUE SEAL 'FAST-FRI' fryers feature a thermostat which is accurate to 1°C.
4.
The temperature can be set from 145°C to 195°C, although we do not recommend any food to be
cooked above 190°C.
5.
To set the operating temperature simply turn the thermostat to the desired setting.
6.
Main burners will operate automatically to maintain this temperature.
7.
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.
8.
As a safety precaution all BLUE SEAL '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.
9.
BLUE SEAL GT46 'FAST-FRI' Fryers feature a split tank allowing distinctive products to be cooked in
individual pans and at different temperatures. This allows seafood products to be fried separate
from French Fries for instance to stop flavour contamination between products and allow products to
be cooked at their optimum frying temperature.
Frying Guide and Care of Frying Oils and Fats.
1.
Prepare the food correctly. Prepare the food in as nearly uniform pieces as possible and bring the
food up to room temperature. Ensure that the food is free from excessive moisture and also
excessive crumbing when 'breading' is done.
2.
Preheat the frying medium to the recommended temperature for the particular food to be cooked
and no higher - specially prepared frying mediums are recommended.
