5. Installation and operation

5.1 Safety instructions

WARNING! Risk of electric shock!

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

Never remove the power cable by pulling the cable itself; always grab the plug housing.

• Never allow the power cable to come into contact with heat sources or sharp edges. The power cable should not hang over the side of the working surface. Ensure that no one can step on or trip over the cable.

• The power cable must not be folded, bent or tangled, and must always remain fully unrolled.
  • Never place the device or other objects on the power cable.

• 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 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 move or tilt the device when in operation.
• During operation of the unit your hands, the mains plug and the 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. Risk of injury! Hot oil splashes and fat explosions respectively may cause burns at hands and face!

5.2 Installation and connection

• Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device.
• Put the device in a safe place that can support its weight and is not heat sensitive.
  • Not at any time you should place the device on top of an inflammable surface.
• You must not position the device near open fireplaces, electric ovens/arc furnaces, furnaces/electric heaters or other heat sources.
• Never place the device at the edge of a table to avoid accidents.
• Never put the device in a moist or wet area.

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!

• 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 Operation

Before use

• Remove the cover, then remove the basket, oil chamber and remaining equipment from the device.
  • Fix the handles to the fryer housing with use of supplied screws.

• Fix the basket handle by catching it to the fixing shackles.

by catching s. Fixing shackles Basket handle

- Remove the fuse box from the device by raising it until a „click“ sound is heard.

- Grab the oil chamber with both hands and carefully remove from the device.

- Wash the cover, oil chamber, basket and casing with a mild washing-up liquid. Rinse in clean water and dry.

- Wipe the housing with moist soft cloth, taking care to ensure no water gets into the fuse box and electrical systems.

Start-up

CAUTION!

The deep fryer can only be used by individuals who have been instructed in the proper use of the device and dangers that may arise during the frying process.

- Insert the oil chamber. Carefully mount the fuse box with heating element to the rear of the device by carefully sliding it into the guides until a „click“ sound is heard. This sound means the fuse box has been properly assembled.

Hint: For safety reasons, the device only operates when the fuse box is properly mounted to it, so that the micro fuses enable the device to function.

• Make sure that the device is turned off (set the temperature adjustment knob in „O“ position).
• Before pouring oil into the chamber, check that there is no water inside. The chamber must be clean and dry.

CAUTION!

Use only liquid oil for frying. Solid grease must be dissolved into liquid form before frying!

- Carefully fill the chamber with frying oil until the required level is reached. The oil level must always be between the „MIN“- and „MAX“ markings. If the level of oil is above MAX, hot oil may spill out.

WARNING!

Fire hazard! If the oil level is below MIN, there is an increased risk of oil catching fire.

Burn hazard! If the level of oil is above MAX, hot oil may spill out.

- Never turn the device on without oil in the chamber.

WARNING! Burn hazard!

Do not reuse oil, as its lower combustion point means that it may catch fire. Moreover old oil may easily foam. There is also an increased risk of smoke and unpleasant odours occurring.

- Regularly change frying oil. After used oil has cooled, carefully pour it into a retention tank and dispose of in accordance with environmental protection regulations.

Frying

• Connect the device to the single grounded socket.
  • The green power indicator will come on.
• Set the temperature dial by turning it clockwise to the desired temperature (60°C – 190°C). Follow the temperature suggestions located on the control panel.
• While heating up the red control light comes on, going off when the set temperature has been reached. The deep fryer is equipped with the thermostat. When the oil temperature drops the red light comes on again and the device heats again.
• For best results, wait until the device has reached the desired temperature and then place the food product in to be fried.

• The basket is for frying small food products. It is equipped with folding handle and hook.

• Slowly lower the basket into the oil and start frying.
  • After frying, carefully pick up the basket and hand it on the hook at the front of the chamber and allow the oil to drip.

Handle Basket hook Housing

WARNING! Burn hazard!

When in use, the device and oil in the chamber are very hot and the oil is at risk of catching fire.

Do not allow the device to function for long periods of time!

When finished using the unit, turn the temperature dial counterclockwise to the „O“ position and remove the plug from its socket.

WARNING! Burn hazard!

Do not use the deep fryer with its cover on! The cover serves only as protection against dust, and for keeping the oil hot between fryings. Prior to placing the cover on, ensure that it is dry. If water gets into the oil chamber, this may cause oil to splatter.

• If the deep fryer has been accidentally turned on with too little or no oil in the chamber, it will automatically turn itself off at approx. 230 °C, to protect against overheating. If this occurs, disconnect the device by removing its plug from the socket and leave it to cool.
• If the device has turned off to prevent overheating, it can be turned back on after pressing the button marked RESET. This button is located at the rear of the device and can be pressed using a long, thin object such as a wire (see figure).
