Note : An external regulator should be fitted to the fryer if the inlet pressure exceeds 50mbar 2.
NOTES ON FRYING MEDIA Ensure oil is always maintained at the level indicated (H-high, L-low). Good quality vegetable oil is recommended. Animal fat may be used - but must always be melted first. Animal fat has a lower smoke and fire temperature than vegetable oil and taste is transferred when cooking with it (e.g. onions fried in animal fat will taint other foods i.e.

FAULT FINDING Explanation of the Control System The gas circuit in this fryer is operated by two separate millivolt systems. The first consists of an interrupted thermocouple, the pilot burner(s) and the gas control. Heat from the pilot flame acting on the thermocouple generates a 15-30 mV electrical potential. This millivolt system connected to the gas control operates the first solenoid that allows gas to the pilot burner.
