User Thermostat
This is an adjustable setting device which will provide
frying temperatures up to190
o
C.
Safety Thermostat
This is pre-set at factory. In event of an operating
thermostat failure, the safety thermostat will shut gas
off at pilot and main burners.
If this occurs, the reason for failure must be
investigated and rectified. The device is reset by
removing the black cap that protects the reset button.
Push reset button down gently using a thin-shafted
screwdriver and replace cap.
Gas Control
Situated at top side of MFC, control knob is set
correctly when appropriate symbol is alongside
pointer. (See Figure 2)
Flame Failure Device
Operated by pilot flame. If pilot becomes
extinguished, gas will be shut off from main burner.
Warning
If pilot is turned off for any reason, wait a minimum of
three minutes before attempting to relight it.
The burner control is built in to the flame failure
device and the method of operation is detailed here.
SECTION 2 - LIGHTING and OPERATION
Lighting
A 20 second delay (approx.) will occur between
establishing a pilot flame and burner ignition.
Operating The Fryer
The unit will operate automatically with burner going
out when desired temperature is reached. No further
operation of control knob is necessary until cooking
cycle is over
Choice of Frying Medium
A good quailty vegetable oil is preferred. However,
pure edible dripping may be used providing that
thermostat setting does not exceed 180
o
C.
Smoke point will be reached above such a setting
and the fat will break up and deteriorate.
Important
In order to meet the requirements of the Fire
Precautions Act 1971, unit should always be turned
off when unattended.
Warning
