Stability kit –fixing procedure Fig 2

• The J5 model must be suitably fixed to the floor with the brackets provided.
• Site the appliance in its intended position. Fit the upper brackets to the bottom of the appliance using the screws provided.
• Loosely fitting the lower brackets to the upper brackets, mark the floor through the holes in the lower brackets.
• Drill the floor as marked with a 7mm drill and fit the plugs provided to the holes.
• Reposition the appliance and screw the lower brackets in place with the screws provided.
• Level the appliance and tighten the brackets together.

Supply Pressures

• The appliance is connected directly to the gas supply where the gas supply pressure is controlled at the source of inlet in the building or via the governor attached to the bottle gases. See Technical Data for the supply pressures.
• Undo the screw and attach a pressure gauge to the boss of the test nipple which is located on the gas inlet pipe.
• Light the oven burner and set thermostat to the highest setting and check the pressure.
• For Propane with a 50mbar supply pressure a governor is required for adjustment to 37mbar.

(For J10, set each side individually)

• Commissioning must include a functional check of all controls and a calibration check on the thermostat. Oil temperature should be checked once the main burners have cut out for a second time.
• Upon handover, ensure all operators know how to safely light, operate and shutdown the appliance and are aware of the isolating cock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• This appliance is for professional use and must be operated by qualified or trained personnel only.
• This unit is intended to be used to produce deep fried products only.

Operator precautions

• Do not leave the appliance unsupervised whilst operating.
• Never put water in the oil and always drain food of excess moisture before frying.
• Avoid overloading the baskets with product.
• Do not use dust cover lid whilst operating.
• Always allow oil or fat to cool before replenishing – do not attempt to add cold oil to hot whilst cooking.

Notes on frying

• Good quality vegetable oil is recommended, which has a higher smoke and fire temperature than animal fat, and also carries less taint when different products are fried in the same oil.
• The life expectancy of oil will lengthen with regular filtering, and will also be extended if the appliance is turned to standby when the fryer is not in use.
• Old oil becomes more prone to boil or surge. It also has a lower flashpoint and will be prone to overheating. Changing oil frequently reduces the risk of a fire hazard.
• It is advisable to defrost frozen food first – cooking from frozen will affect the heating recovery time, lowering output.
• Always allow the oil to heat to temperature before introducing product.

Preparation for use

• Ensure the drain valves are closed.
• Fill the tanks with water and a little mild detergent to the lower indicated mark on the batter plate. Do not use flammable solvents and cleaning aids.
• Following the Lighting Instructions, turn the appliance on and allow the water to boil for a short time.
• Switch off and drain the water.
• Rinse the tank and dry thoroughly.

Run a small quantity of oil around the whole of the tank and allow it to drain. This will remove any residual water and provide the tank with a coating of oil. Close the drain valve, fit the blanking nut and fill the appliance with clean oil to the lower level, maintain oil at the upper level during service.

Lighting

• Ensure that the supply isolation valve is open.
• Ensure the control knob (Fig 3 B) is in the ‘Off’ position (Fig 3 C). Push in and turn anticlockwise to the pilot position (Fig 4 E) during which the piezo igniter will click to ignite the pilot.
• When the pilot is lit keep the knob depressed a further 20 seconds to establish the pilot flame. If the pilot fails to light, return the knob to the ‘Off’ position, allow time for the control to reset and then repeat the process.
• To operate the main burner with the pilot lit, turn the control knob to the operating position (Fig 3 F) and turn the thermostat control knob (Fig 3 A) to the required setting.
• If for any reason the burner runs and then fails, the valve may go in to ‘lockout’ mode – see note under Shut down section.

Standby

• The appliance may be left on standby by lighting the pilot and leaving the control knob in the pilot position (Fig 3 E).
• The main burner cannot be operated in this position. To re-ignite the main burner, follow the instructions above.

Safety cut-out

• Should the safety thermostat operate during use, the appliance will shut down.
• Allow the oil to cool before resetting the thermostat by depressing the red button (Fig 3 H).

Shut down

• When the appliance is not required, turn the control knob (Fig 3 B) to the pilot position (Fig 3 E) which will shut down the main burner but leave the pilot lit ready for when the appliance is next required.
• To turn the appliance off fully, turn the control knob (Fig 3 B) to the ‘Off’ position (Fig 3 C) and shut off at the gas supply.

Drainage

Allow the oil to cool below 55 Deg C before draining. Remove the blanking nut (Fig 4 J) from the front of the appliance. Fit the drain tube. Place a suitable receptacle under the pipe outlet. Lift the drain valve handle lock (Fig 4 K) to allow operation of the drain valve, then move the drain valve handle forwards and upwards to drain. After draining, close the valve, remove the pipe and refit the blanking nut. Excess oil remaining in the base of the tank can be removed with kitchen paper. Ensure the handle lock has dropped into position before refilling the tank.
