Installation and operation
Safety Instructions
WARNING! Risk
WARNING! Risk of electric shock! All wiring connections for this appliance must be made in accordance with the wiring diagram(s) furnished with the appliance. Refer to the wiring diagram(s) affixed to the inside of the appliance door when installing or servicing this equipment.
Never allow the power cable to come into contact with heat sources or sharp
edges. The power cable should not hang over the side of the working surface.
Ensure that no one can step on or trip over the cable.
The power cable must not be folded, bent or tangled, and must always remain
fully unrolled.
Never place the fryer or other objects on the power cable.
Do not lay the cable over carpets or heat insulations. Do not cover the cable.
Keep the cable away from operating range and do submerge in water.
Do not use the fryer if it’s not functioning properly, has been damaged or
dropped. Do not use any accessory or spare parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer.
These voids the warranty and can be dangerous for the operator or lead to
damages to the fryer.
Do not move or tilt the device when in operation.
During operation of the unit make sure are your hands are dry before pressing
the ON/ OFF switch.
Do not leave the unit unattended during operation, malfunctions which could
result in overheating of the oil (fat) which could ignite.
Always remove extra ice from frozen goods first. Even the smallest water drops
may cause oil splashes or lead to explosions during frying.
NOTE! Loading to much food at one time could cause excessive foaming of
oil during frying.
Do not leave any food in the basket hanging over the container with the hot
oil. The fryer may not be moved or repositioned as long as the oil is hot. The
oil must cool down first. Risk of injury! Hot oil splashes may cause burns at
hands and face!
Installation and connection
CAUTION! The fryer MUST be installed by a qualified personal only.
Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device.
Place the device on top of a solid, even, safe and stable surface.
Do not at any time position the fryer on a flammable surface (cloth, carpet,
etc.).
You must not position the fryer near open fireplaces, heaters or other heat
sources.
Avoid installation spots with close contact to water.
Remove the basket, handle and other accessories from the device.
Do not allow grease to accumulate or harden on the frame or body of the fryer.
Clean the fryer inside and out with a solution of detergent and hot water
daily.
Dry the unit thoroughly!
WARNING! Hazard via electrical current!
The device can cause injuries due to improper installation! Before
installation the local power grid specification should be compared with that
of the device (see type label).
Connect the device only when in compliance!
Risk of fire!
For 3 phase appliances
Use a UL listed grounding type plug rated for 240 volts, 60 amperes, 3 phase,
4 wire. Plug to be selected and installed only by qualified service personnel.
The conductors of the power supply cord are marked “L1″, ″L2″, or ″L3″for the
ungrounded (hot) supply conductors, ″N″ for a grounded (neutral) supply
conductor, and ″E″ for an equipment grounding lead.
When connect UL listed grounding type plug to power cord, ensure the
conductors of power cord match the conductors of plug.
For 1 phase appliances, Connect all wires according to the corresponding
circuit diagram.
Operation
CAUTION! The operation of the fryer may only be carried out by personnel
that have been instructed in operation of the fryer and the special hazards of
frying.
There is an orange heating indicator light on the front panel. The heating
indicator will cycle on and off to keep the set temperature. The on/off switch
controls the power supply.
Ensure that the device is switched off (Temperature control toggle is in
position “0“).
The fry pot needs to be clean, dry and empty before filling it with oil.
The oil drainage valve must be closed.
Carefully fill the fry pot with oil up to the required level (between the MIN
and MAX marking on the back of the fry pot).
CAUTION! Do not use the fryer without having frying oil in the fry pot. Make sure the oil level is always between MIN and MAX marking on the fry pot.
WARNING!
Danger of fire! When the oil level goes below the minimum marked MIN, there is an increased risk of oil catching fire. Danger of burns! When the oil level is above the maximum marked MAX, hot oil may spill out.
CAUTION!
Use liquid fat for frying only. Solid frying fat (block or brick grease) should not be used!
WARNING!
Danger of burns! Do not use stale oil for frying, as a lower combustion temperature may cause the oil to foam and ignite easily. It also emits more smoke and odor.
Change frying oil regularly. Stale oil, after cooling, should be carefully poured into a container and disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. Connect the drain extension to the drain valve. Put an empty container underneath the drain extension pipe.
To drain oil from the fry pot, grasp the drain valve handle on the drainage
valve and rotate the handle.
Switch the device on by means of the ON/OFF switch. The green power control
illuminates.
Set the temperature control clockwise to the desired temperature 120°F (49°C)
and 374°F (190°C).
The orange heating control flashes during the heating process and extinguishes
after the adjusted temperature has been reached. The fryer is equipped with a
thermostat for temperature regulation. Once the temperature of the oil
decreases the device initiates the heating process and the orange heating
indicator illuminates.
For best results you should wait until the desired temperature has been
reached before placing food in the fryer.
Slowly dip the basket into the oil. After frying is finished, carefully lift
the basket, hang it on the basket hanger and leave the basket to drip.
WARNING! Danger of burn! During frying the oil in the fry pot is very
hot.
Rotate the thermostat back to starting position and turn off the main on/off
switch as soon as the deep-frying process is finished and the fryer is not
being used.
In the event you turned on the fryer without having frying oil in the fry pot or without having inserted the minimum amount of oil, the device automatically shuts down or if the temperature reaches 446°F (230 °C) in order to protect itself from overheating.
Whenever this occurs, switch off the device, shut off the main power supply and let the device cool down.
After the fryer has been switched off by the heat protection switch, it can
only be restarted by pressing the RESET button in the bottom cabinet. Press
the RESET button for this purpose, cool the unit to below 338°F (170 °C) then
unscrew the plastic shield by turning the RESET button counter clockwise,
press the red plastic pin and again turn the plastic shield clockwise.
Now you may turn on the power supply and engage the fryer to proceed as
normal.
Cleaning and maintenance
Safety advice
Before beginning any repair or cleaning make sure the fryer has been
disconnected from power supply and has cooled down.
Do not use any acidic cleaning agents.
To protect yourself from electric shock, never immerse the power cord in water
or other liquids.
CAUTION!
The fryer is should not be cleaned by direct pressure washing via water jets. You must not use any kind of pressure water jet for cleaning the fryer!
Cleaning
The fryer should be cleaned regularly.
Clean the fry pot at least once each week by filling it to just below the
upper oil level mark with water. Add one cup of detergent and boil the water.
Allow the solution to simmer for 10-15 minutes, then drain and rinse the fry
pot with clean water twice. Add ¼ cup of white vinegar to the last rinse to
neutralize any alkalinity remaining from the detergent. Wipe the fry pot
surfaces with a dry towel before refilling with cooking oil. If the fryer is
not to be used immediately after cleaning, it is suggested that the inside of
the fry pot be wiped down with a light coat of cooking oil to prevent rust.
CAUTION!
The switching unit (control panel) must not be washed or immersed in water. Moisture must not get inside the unit. Prior to using, dry all elements of the unit thoroughly
The control panel, surface of the fryer and power cord should only be wiped off with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. You must not let water enter the switching unit. This may lead to dangerous creeping current and malfunctions of the fryer.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive materials as these could damage the fryer. Clean the fryer with a mild cleaning liquid. Heavily stained parts should be left for soaking.
All parts must be dried thoroughly. Reassemble the parts of fryer before frying.
Store the fryer in a dry place when not using for longer periods. Keep it away from acid steams and gases.
Safety instructions for maintenance
