5. Installation and operation

5.1 Safety instructions

WARNING! Electrical hazard!

The unit must only be connected to a properly installed single socket with protective contact.

Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet.

Cable must not touch any hot parts.

• See that the cable does not touch any heat sources or sharp edges. Do not let the cable dangle over the counter edge.

WARNING! Hot external surface!

During operation some parts of the device become very hot. In order to avoid injuries do not touch any hot parts!

• Do not use the device in case it does not function properly, has been damaged or dropped.
• Do not use any accessory or spare parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer. These can be dangerous for the user or lead to damages of the device or personal injury, and further, the warranty expires.
• Do not lay the cable over carpets or heat insulations. Do not cover the cable. Keep away the cable from operating range and do not dunk it into water.
• Do not move or tilt the device when in operation.
• During operation of the unit your hands, the mains plug and the ON/OFF switch must be dry.
• Do not leave the unit unattended during operation since there might occur malfunctions which could result in overheating of the oil (fat). In case of high temperatures oil (fat) might ignite.
• You may not use moisten frying goods. Always remove the extra ice from deep frozen goods first. Even the smallest water drops may cause oil splashes or lead to explosions during frying.

NOTE!

Overly wet foodstuffs or too large a quantity of food causes excessive foaming of oil during frying.

• Do not leave any frying goods 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.

WARNING! Risk of injury!

Hot oil splashes and fat explosions respectively may cause burns at hands and face!

WARNING! Hazard via electrical current!

The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!

Before installation the local power grid specification should be compared with that of the device (see type label).

Connect the device only in case of compliance!

Take note of the security advice!

5.2 Installation and connection

ATTENTION!

The device may be installed by a qualified specialist only.

• Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device.
• Place the device on top of a solid, even, safe and stable surface that tolerates the weight.
• Not at any time you should place the device on top of an inflammable surface (such as: table cloth, carpet, etc.).
• You must not position the device near open fireplaces, electric ovens/arc furnaces, furnaces/electric heaters or other heat sources.
• Avoid installation spots with close contact to water.
• Remove the lid, basket, handle and other accessories from the device.
• Detach the switching unit from the device by lifting it carefully (until you hear a „CLICK“-sound).
• Wash the cover, oil reservoir, frying basket, heating element shield and casing with a mild cleaning agent whilst taking care to avoid the introduction of moisture to the electrical installations and switching unit. Dry the unit thoroughly!
• Two separate sockets are necessary for the dual fryer.
• Each electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the unit directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.
• Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from its socket in case of necessity.

5.3 Operating

ATTENTION!

The operation of the device may only be carried out by personnel that have been instructed in operation of the device and the special hazards of frying.

• Delicately place the switching unit on the rear edge of the oil reservoir until a click sounds. Both pivots at the bottom of the switching unit must be in the openings on the oil reservoir. Only then is the switching unit properly set up. For safety reasons, the unit functions only when the switching unit is properly secured to the casing, and in this manner a microswitch indicates to the unit that it may function.

• Ensure that the device is switched off (Temperature control toggle is in position "0").
• There may be no oil at all in the oil container before filling it with oil. The oil container must be clean and dry.
• The oil drainage valve must be closed and blocked off (handle facing down).
• Carefully fill the oil container with oil up to the required level (between „MIN“- and „MAX“- marking in the container). Markings are at the side of the oil reservoir.

ATTENTION!

Do not use the device without having frying oil in the oil container. Make sure the oil level is always between „MIN“- and „MAX“- marking of the oil container.

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.

ATTENTION!

Use liquid fat for frying only. Solid frying fat (block or brick grease) should be removed preliminary!

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 odour.

• Change frying oil regularly. Stale oil, after cooling, should be carefully poured into a container and disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. To drain oil from the reservoir, lift the handle on the drainage valve and tilt it forward.
• Connect the plug to the socket.
• Switch the device on by means of the ON/OFF switch. The green power control lamp flashes up.
• Set the temperature control clockwise to the desired temperature (50°C - 190°C).
• The orange heating control lamp flashes up 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 in the oil container decreases the device initiates the heating process and the orange heating control lamp flashes up.

WARNING! Danger of burn!

During the work chips and oil in the oil container become very hot and there is a danger of catching fire.

The device should not work for too long!

Set the knob of the temperature adjuster in the „O” position and unplug the device (take the plug out of the socket!) as soon as the deep-frying process is finished and the device is not being used.

• For best results you should wait until the desired temperature has been reached before placing the frying goods in the fryer.

• The basket is best for frying a small amount of product. It is equipped with a steel handle and two hooks.

• Slowly dip the basket into the oil. After frying is finished, carefully lift the basket, hang it on the switching unit and leave to drip.

Rail to switching unit

WARNING! Risk of injury!

The fryer may not be operated with the lid (cover)! The cover may be used for reasons of dust protection or when keeping warm foods only. In order to avoid dangerous fat splashes caused by water dripping from the cover you ought to make sure it is dry before setting it on top.

• In case you accidentally engaged the dryer without having frying oil in the oil container or without having inserted the minimum amount of fat, the device automatically shuts down at a temperature of 230^ in order to protect itself from overheating. Whenever this occurs, switch off the device, pull the power plug and let the device cool off.

After the device has been switched off by the heat protection switch, it can only be restarted by pressing the RESET-button at the rear side of the fryer.

For this purpose, cool the unit to below 170^ , then unscrew the plastic shield by turning the RESET button counter clockwise, press the peg and again turn the plastic shield clockwise.

Now you may reconnect the power plug to the socket and engage the device to proceed as normal.

RESET-button

Do not attempt to fry more than the following products volumes:

For the 8 litre single / 2× 8 litre dual fryer:

0.9 kg per reservoir
