OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure or check whether the faucet (5) is properly closed.
- Pour the oil inside of the container slowly, insure the oil height is higher than the MIN calibration tail, but lower than the MAX calibration tail.
- Insure the plug is well connected, the Voltage is for 220-240V
Pay attention! Previously, we advised to always turn the thermostat back to
0°C after usage. Please also make sure that you will be patient and carefull
during HEATING.
Turn the thermostat to 190°C, step by step. It is recommended to do this in
steps not bigger than +20°C. Every time it has reached the set temperature you
can (re)set it higher in steps of 10-20°C. Following these instructions will
improve the lifetime of the thermostat.
- When the actual temperature of the oil has not yet reached the set temperature, HEATING (red indication light) is ON and KEEP WARM (green light) will be OFF. When the actual temperature of the oil has reached the set temperature, HEATING (red light) is OFF and KEEP WARM (green light) will be ON.
- Reset: if there is anyting causing an incorrect temperature measurement by the temperature sensor inside the oil tank (for instance, substance stuck on the temperature sensor), the temperature limiter at the back of the oil tank will trigger when the oil
it’s temperature is between 230°C-250°C. From this moment, the deep fryer cannot operate unit the oil it’s temperature falls back to 190°C or lower. When the oil temperature drops (to 190°C or lower), the user can reset the temperature limiter by pressing the button (protected by a black cap) at the back of the electromagnetic deep fryer. If during it’s operation, the temperature limiter triggers frequently, please contact your supplier.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
-
Step 1: After usage, the device must first be switched OFF, after which you must remove the
plug from the socket. Always do this in the order described to prevent short circuit or other possible dangers. -
Step 2: Wait until the device has cooled down completely.
-
Step 3: Push on the black cap of the tap and turn it a quarter to let the oil run out of the basin.
-
Step 4 : Remove the grid (nr. 3).

SELF-PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS
| 1. | Overcurrent protection | Fuse burns out to cut off power |
|---|---|---|
| 2. | Dry heat protection | Each time when the deep fryer starts, it enters in to |
the self-checking stage about 40 seconds. If no oil is found in the oil tank for cooking, the HEATING light will flashing 2 times again and again,
with buzzer alarms.
3.| Oil overheat protection| If there is any reason that leads to incorrect temperature measurement by the temperature sensor inside the oil tank (for instance, substance stuck on the temperature sensor),
the temperature limiter at the back of the oil tank will trigger when the oil temperature is in between 230°C-250°C. At this moment, the deep fryer cannot operate until oil temperature falls to 190°C or lower. When the oil temperature drops (to 190°C or lower), the user can reset the temperature limiter by pressing the button at the back of the deep fryer.
If during operation, the temperature limiter triggers frequently:
contact your supplier.
4.| Extra-ordinary
long-time Protection
| If the deep fryer has been operating continuously for 2 hours
without being used, it shuts off automatically.
