Warning
Your attention is drawn to the followingsafety related
points -
NEVER, under any circumstances, switch unit on
unless it is filled with oil or water.
Before drainingpan or raisingelements for cleaning,
the unit MUST be isolated at the mains switch.
The maximum recommended loads are -
E1808 - 2.5kg
E1838 - 5kg (2 x 2.5kg baskets)
E1848 - 2.5kg per basket (5kg total)
It is dangerous to use old oil. This has a reduced flash
point and is prone to surge boiling.
Surge boilng may occur if over-wet food or a larger
than recommended load is beingprepared. There is
also a possibility that appliance may catch fire should
oil level fall below specified level.
All models are fitted with a safety device. This
ensures that power to elements is cut-off when
removed from pan for cleaningor maintenance.
SECTION 3 - COOKING HINTS
Frying Chips
Chipped potatoes may be fried by one of the folowing
methods:-
Raw To Finish
Set the thermostat at 175
o
C for fat or 190
o
C for oil.
Load each basket with up to 2.5kgof raw chips and
cook for 4 to 6 minutes accordingto the size of chip
and type of potato.
Usingthis method, the hourly output of each fryer is
as follows :
E1808 - 27.2kg E1838 - 54.4kg E1848 - 54.4kg
Outputs are based on the use of vegetable oil as a
frying medium. When using dripping, slightly longer
fryingtimes are required and the output will be slightly
less.
Slow Blanching
This method may be used where large quantities of
chips are requried at peak periods and consists of
pre-fryingwith a thermostat settingof 150
o
C. Basket
load should be up to 2.5kgof chips with fryingtime of
3 to 5 minutes.
Fast Blanching
This is carried out at a thermostat settingof 175
o
C for
drippingor 190
o
C for oil. Allow 2 to 4 minutes for
basket load of 2.5kg.
Finishingoff either blanchingmethod should be
carried out within three hours at a thermostat setting
of 175
o
C for drippingand 190
o
C for oil with a cooking
time of 1 to 2 minutes and a basket load of 2.5kg.
Further storage should be avoided.
Frying Fish
Remove baskets and fry fish on basket support grid.
Remove cooked portion with a fish lifter.
The thermostat should be set at 175
o
C. Small
quantities may be prepared in the baskets.

Dry fish well and season basket by immersingin hot
fat.
Place fish in basket and lower it very slowly into pan.
These precautions will avoid fish stickingto wire
basket.
Other Types Of Food
Every type of food suitable for deep fryinghas a
particular cookingtemperature at which best results
are obtained.
The followingthermostat settings are recommended
but may be varied to suit individual requirements.
Settingshown should only be used when vegetable
oil is the fryingmedium. Maximum settingfor fat is
175
