• Place the appliance on a horizontal, stable and heat resistant surface that is safe against water splashes.
• Keep the packaging if you intend to store your appliance in the future.
• Keep the user manual for future reference.

NOTE! Due to manufacturing residues, the appliance may emit a light odor during the first few uses. This is normal and does not indicate any defect or hazard. Make sure the appliance is well ventilated.

Operating instructions

ATTENTION! Plug the appliance on a separate group of 16 ampere. For a double deep fryer, you need 2 separate groups.

• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Fill the container with oil or hydrogenated oil until the MAX line.
• Note! Solid fats must be preheated before filling, this avoids burnt fat and overloading (See "Solid Fat").
• Plug the earthed plug into an earthed socket.
• Turn on the appliance by using the green on/off button on the operating panel. The green lamp in the switch will light.
• Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The orange lamp will light.
• When the set temperature is reached, the orange lamp goes out.
• During deep frying the temperature lamp will light off and on to indicate that the heating element will maintain its indicated temperature.
• You can now use the appliance.

After use

• Turn off the appliance by switching off the switch and remov-ing the plug from the socket.
• Do not move the appliance until it and its contents have cooled down.
• Put the lid on the appliance, so that the fat does not age.

Operating tips

• This appliance is designed with a unique cold zone that allows crumbs and residues to go straight to the bottom. This also allows the fat/oil life to be extended considerably.
• Check regularly if there is sufficient oil or fat in the container. The level should never be below the MIN line.
• Preferably use only liquid frying oil or fat.
• The recommended temperature for frying chips and snacks is a maximum of 175°C.
• Remove ice and frozen food remnants.
• Do not fry too much in one go. This can make the oil or fat cool down too much and cause the food to absorb more fat/ oil. When used intensively, the oil should be filtered to avoid traces of crumbs and other residues. Ensure that the oil is ready to use.
• Use test strips or equipment regularly to track when you should replace the oil/fat.
• Before the oil starts foaming, smoking or becoming too sticky, you should replace it. Also replace the oil/fat when it has a strong smell or taste.
• Do not mix fresh oil with used oil.

Solid Fat

• If you decide to use solid fat, even though it is inadvisable, heat the oil slowly on the lowest setting until it melts. When the fat has melted, you can set the appropriate frying temperature.
• When using solid fat, let the fat blocks melt slowly over moderate heat in a normal frying pan. Carefully pour the melted fat into the the appliance.
• Remove the fryer basket. This prevents the basket from getting stuck in the solidified fat.

RESET the safety cut-out (Hi-limiter or thermal cut-out)

(Fig.2)

• Please note that the RESET button is equipped with a protective cap to avoid overheat.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Allow the appliance to completely cool down.
• Unscrew the protective cap of the RESET button.
• Press the RESET button of the Hi-limiter (thermal cut-out). You should hear a click sound.
• Screw back the protective cap on the RESET button.
• Connect to the power supply and you can use it again.

Special safety instructions

• This appliance is intended for commercial use.
• 
  RISK OF BURNS! HOT SURFACES! The temperature of the accessible surfaces are very high during use. Touch only the control panel, handles, switches, timer control knobs or temperature control knobs.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• 
  Fat and oil become very hot during operation. Beware of this.
• 
  There is a danger of fire if the oil level is below the "L" (Min) mark or if there is no oil in the oil container. Always use plenty of oil in the oil tank.
• 
  Frying moist food or large quantities at the same time has a negative influence on the boiling point of the oil. Excessive foaming will occur and oil will spill out. The maximum batch load is approximately 1kg.
• 
  Never use old oil because it has a low flash point and is more prone to boiling. It increases the risk of fire and dangerous situations.
• 
  Do not open the drain cocks or other emptying devises until the pressure has been reduced to approximately atmospheric pressure.
• Only use suitable oil or fat for frying. Replace the oil or fat at regular intervals. Overcooked or dirty oil or fat can be ignited if it is overheated.
• Do not fill oil below the MIN - level nor beyond the MAX - level in the oil tank.
• The fryer tank and element should be placed in a safe position in the kitchen before use due to the hot contents.
• The appliance has to be installed and used in such a way that any water cannot contact the fat or oil.
• Regularly change the old oil to reduce releasing of dioxins which are carcinogenic.
