Operation
E43E - E44E;- Switch ‘ON’ the appliance, the control panel will display 'CY' and perform the
programmed ‘Melt Cycle’. The electric thermostat will automatically melt the solid shortening
by cycling the elements ‘ON’ / ‘OFF’ until the cooking medium temperature is above the melt
temperature, the system will exit the 'Melt Cycle’ and go directly to the ‘Heat Cycle’ and
display ‘HEAt’ on the display.
NOTE: Models E43E and E44E are fitted with an electronic auto-melt cycle control.
Refer to the ‘Controller Programming’ section to change the preset ‘Melt Cycle’.
• Add more shortening until the tank is filled to the level marked on the tank side. Refer to Fig
3 on the previous page.
CORRECT OIL FILL LEVELS
HI - When oil / fat is HOT (180-190°C).
N - When oil / fat is WARM (100-120°C).
LO - When oil / fat is COLD (20-30°C).
Setting the Operating Temperature
1. The temperature used for frying food is the most important aspect of fryer operation. Incorrect
temperatures will result in poor product quality and will reduce the life of the oil / shortening.
2. BLUE SEAL 'Deep Fryers’ feature a thermostat which is accurate to 1°C.
3. The temperature can be set from 60°C to 200°C, although we do not recommend any food to be
cooked above 190°C.
4. To set the operating temperature simply turn the thermostat to the desired setting and allow the
frying medium to reach the desired temperature before cooking the food.
5. The elements will operate automatically to maintain this temperature.
6. Turn the fryer to a lower temperature when there is no food being cooked. (Approximately 140°C).
Any frying medium will break down faster if held for long periods at high temperature without frying
food.
7. In order to obtain the best results with your fryer and the product cooked in it, the following pages
detail recommended temperatures and a practical guide to frying. Time spent reading this
information will assist in obtaining a cooked product of exceptional quality and taste.
8. As a safety precaution all Blue Seal 'Deep Fryers’ feature an Over-Temperature control which will
turn off the fryer in the event that the oil reaches over 220°C, should there be a thermostat failure.
9. Blue Seal E44 and E44E Fryers feature a split tank allowing distinctive products to be cooked in
individual pans and at different temperatures. This allows products to be fried separately to
prevent flavour contamination between products and allow products to be cooked at their optimum
frying temperature.
Frying Guide.
1. Prepare the food correctly. Prepare the food in as nearly uniform pieces as possible and bring the
food up to room temperature.
2. Ensure that the food is free from excessive moisture and also excessive crumbing when 'breading' is
done.
3. Preheat the frying medium to the recommended temperature for the particular food to be cooked
and no higher - specially prepared frying mediums are recommended.
4. The frying medium should be at the correct temperature for the food to be cooked before lowering
the food into the tank.
5. Avoid heating the frying medium to any higher temperature than is recommended.
6. Also avoid holding the frying medium at the frying temperature when there is no food being cooked.
Any frying medium will break down if held for long periods at frying temperatures
.
7. Lower the food gradually into the hot frying medium using a wire basket, until all the food pieces are
submerged.
8. Avoid overloading the basket, we recommend no more that 1.5kg per basket
.
Overloading will
cause the temperature to drop so low that a longer frying time will be needed and the foods will
become grease soaked and unattractive
.
