Fixing Mounting Brackets

Each fryer is supplied with 2 table top mounting brackets and 1 long bracket that can be used to sink the unit into a work surface.

For table top fixings unscrew the four M5 bolts in the base of the unit until they are loose enough to slide the slotted end of the bracket underneath them, and re-tighten. Place the unit in the required location and mark the position of the holes in the unit. Depending on the material of the surface the unit is being attached to, use appropriate fixings to secure the unit down through the holes in the brackets.

To sink the fryer into a work surface first cut a hole in the surface ( approx. 525mm x 491mm) When deciding where to position the fryer keep in mind that the exterior surfaces of the unit can get very hot when the unit is in operation. Also make sure the user is still able to get access to the controls and drain valve

Undo the screws in the back of the unit and attach the long fixing bracket. The unit when sunken will be supported on the bracket on the back and the lip at the front.

Continue to add pieces of fat into the pan until bottom is filled with the molten fat. If the fat appears to be overheating, turn the thermostat OFF, continue to add fat and turn the thermostat ON when the fat has cooled.Put the remaining oil or fat into the pan until the level is up to the mark.  Allow to heat up slowly until all the fat has melted, then turn the thermostat knob to the required cooking temperature.

2. Already Solidified In the PanLight the appliance and turn the thermostat ON for approximately 5-10 seconds, and then turn OFF again. Leave it for 30 seconds before repeating the 5-10 seconds cycle.Continue to repeat until the fat has melted so that any remaining unmeted pieces are free floating, then turn the thermostat to the required temperature.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : DO NOT LIGHT BURNERS WHEN THE PAN IS EMPTY

1. Ensure the drain valves are closed and check the level of cooking oil (between maximum and minimum markings). The oil required to fill the pan to the correct level is 7 liters.
2. Turn on the gas supply.
3. Turn the thermostat to OFF position.
4. Press the pilot knob (A) in and press ignitor button in to ignite pilot. If pilot fails to ignite, repeat the procedure.
5. After the pilot is lit, hold knob in for 20-30 seconds to ensure pilot flame is fully established.

Temperature Settings (Approximate)

Cooking Instruction:

With the thermostat knob turned to the required cooking temperature, allow the oil or fat to heat up for about 30 -35 minutes before starting to cook. After each load is removed from the fryer always allow 7½ minutes for the temperature of the oil to recover before the next load is put into the oil. Never fill basket more than 1/2 full equivalent to approximately 250g of chips per basket.

The Frying Medium

Ensure oil is always maintained at the level indicated. Good quality vegetable oil is recommended. The life expectancy of oils will be lengthened if they are filtered regularly – food particles not removed turn rancid and reduce oil quality. The life of the oil will also be extended if the temperature is turned down when the fryer is not is use.

“Please note also, using old oil will reduce the flash point and therefore present a greater fire hazard and be more prone to surge boiling. Attention should also be drawn to the effect of over-wet food and too large a charge on surge boiling”.

To Obtain Best Results

Keep the pan clean
Use good quality oil or fat which has high breakdown temperature
Use only clean oil or fat and strain daily.
Maintain the oil or fat at the correct level
Do not start to fry until the oil has reached the correct temperature
Do not exceed the temperature of the oil or fat as recommended by the supplier.
Do not overload the fryer.
Remove the crumbs or pieces floating on the surface of the oil.
When using frozen foods follow the food manufacturers cooking instructions carefully
To conserve energy, turn the thermostat knob to the OFF position during breaks in frying.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

The use of old oil or food with a high moisture content can reduce the flash temperature and can cause overheating of the oil. Fryers should never be left unattended

Oil should not be added or drained from the unit while the unit is hot. The appliance should be turned off and left to cool to a maximum of 55˚C before adding or removing oil.

Flammable solvents and cleaning aids should not be used on this appliance

The tank has a marking on it to indicate how much oil must be put into the tank. It is important not to over fill or under fill the tank.

Users should be aware that the introduction of wet food or water into the hot oil or fat will reduce the flash point of the oil and cause the oil to surge.

DRAINAGE

1. Always allow the oil to cool to a maximum 55˚C before draining.
2. Remove the blanking nut from drain tap, fit discharge pipe into tap, drain oil into
   suitable receptacle, taking care not to overfill so that it is not difficult to handle.
