Operation WARNING: GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN BY THE OPERATOR TO USE THE FRYER SAFELY TO GUARD AGAINST THE RISK OF INJURY AND FIRE. • DO NOT LEAVE THE FRYER UNATTENDED DURING OPERATION. • DO NOT REPLENISH THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER WHEN THE FRYER IS HOT. • DO NOT OVER FILL THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER ABOVE THE TOP LEVEL MARK. • DO NOT ALLOW THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER TO FALL BELOW THE LOWER LEVEL MARK. • DO NOT ALLOW THE OIL (FRYING MEDIUM) IN THE FRYER TO OVERHEAT.
Operation i. Pre-Heating; ii. Light the main burners and manually cycle the burners ‘On’ / ‘Off’ until the shortening has liquefied. Ideally the main burners should be cycled ‘On’ for 5 seconds and ‘Off’ for 10 seconds. Following this procedure should allow shortening to liquefy gradually without scorching. Once the shortening has liquefied, it can be brought up to fryer operating temperature.
Operation Lighting the Main Burners 1. 2. 3. Ensure that the pilot burners are alight, by opening the front access door of the appliance and checking that both pilot flames are alight. Depress and rotate the gas control knob to the ‘Full Flame’ position. The main burners will now ignite automatically off the pilot burners.

The fault finding guide in this section is intended to help you correct, or at least accurately diagnose problems with your equipment. Although this section covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter a problem not covered in this section.
Fault Finding Fault Rapid oil breakdown. Possible Cause Remedy Inadequate frying oil turnover. Adjust procedures to fry more food in the fryer to increase the turnover. Overheating of oil. Check the setting of the thermostat with a 'Mercury In Glass' thermometer or thermocouple. Filter or strain the oil daily. Contamination. Poor cleaning procedures. Oil smoking. Presence of copper or brass in the fryer equipment. Overloading fryer.
