Thermostat
Provides automatic control of oil temperature up to a maximum of 190°C.
High Temperature Limit Device
This device is pre-set to shut off the power supply to the elements should the oil temperature ever rise
to 230°C. If this situation occurs it will be necessary to carry out an investigation and rectify the
reason for over heating of the oil. A button, located below the control chamber base panel, is
provided for re-setting the limit device.
Pre-Heat Time
Allow approximately15 minutes for the to heat to operating temperature from cold.
Choice Of Frying Medium
Select a top quality oil to obtain an optimum result from the appliance. Semi-liquid oils or frying fats
can be used should the need arise. Fats are solid at room temperature and must be heated up
carefully (see the section on charging the pan). Fat has a lower smoke point than oil.
A good quality oil will give good stability and allows a longer period of use without smoking or
foaming. It will also give better flavour to food. Top quality oils also have a higher flash point and can
reduce gumming around the unit.
Charging Of The Pan
Ensure drain valve is closed and fill with oil to level mark on element guard and side walls of well.
Approximate capacity is 39 litres for E1838 and 19 litres per pan on E1808 and E1848 models.
If solid fat is being used, remove chip basket support plate from well and cut fat into small pieces.
Slowly melt fat with thermostat at low setting and add pieces gradually until correct level has been
achieved. Fat must always be loaded in this way to prevent overheating and burning.
When all fat has melted to a liquid state, select required temperature and replace basket support plate
before use.
