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.

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!

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.

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!
