Operation

Filling the Tank(s)

NOTE: BLUE SEAL 'Deep Fryers’ can be used with both oil and shortening.

1. Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve(s) behind the access door is (are) closed. A
locking slide is provided on these valves and this should always be locked in position during use.

2. Ensure that the elements are swung down into the tank(s).

OIL - Carefully fill the fryer tank until the lower ‘Fill Level’ mark is reached.
Set the thermostat to the required operating temperature, the oil will expand as heated and will reach

the upper level mark when the oil is hot (180 - 190°C).

 The E43 single tank fryer will hold 27 to 29 litres of oil.

 The E44 twin tank fryer will hold 14 litres of oil per pan.

SHORTENING - Ideally shortening should be pre-melted prior to putting it into the tank. This is

normally done in a suitable vessel on a boiling table burner(s). The liquefied shortening can
then be poured into the tank until it reaches the 'FILL LEVEL' mark.

 The E43 single tank fryer will hold 22 - 23kg of shortening.

 The E44 twin tank fryer will hold 11kg of shortening per tank.

Pre-Heating

NOTE: When pre-melting shortening, only heat the shortening until it is just liquefied. Do not bring

the shortening up to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous.

 If pre-melting of shortening is not possible, carefully cut the shortening into small pieces and

pack below, all around and above the elements, ensuring that the element can fully lower to
operate the element tilt microswitch otherwise the fryer will not operate.

E43 and E44; - Set the tank control thermostat to 120°C and switch the appliance ‘ON’ for 30
seconds and then ‘OFF’ for 1 minute. Repeat the cycle until all the shortening is melted enough to
apply full power to the heating elements. To speed up this process, break up the shortening and stir
carefully during the melting process.

NOTE: Running the elements continuously will cause the shortening in contact with the tank to

overheat, resulting in premature oil breakdown. Never allow the shortening to smoke while
melting as this indicates that the temperature is too high. If the shortening starts smoking,
increase the ‘Off’ intervals of the elements.

‘Over-Temperature’ Control System

These fryers have been fitted with a ‘Fail Safe Over Temperature Safety Cut-Out’ which will protect the oil /
fat from excessive temperature if the thermostat control should fail. The power light will turn ‘Off’ if the
over temperature control has been triggered. The twin tank fryer (E44E) has an individual ‘Fail Safe Over
Temperature Safety Cut-Out’ for each tank.

Over-Temp Control

The over-temp thermostat is mounted behind the transformer panel, behind the access door and its

sensing bulb is located alongside the thermostat.

This control is set for approx. 225-235°C oil cutout temperature. To reset the 'Overtemp Control',
allow the oil to cool down to approx 160-180°C then operate the red switch behind the access door.
The power light will then turn ‘On’.

Cleaning and Maintenance

General

To achieve the best results, cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts
checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have them
attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that the
appliance is serviced every 6 months.

Clean the fryer regularly. A clean fryer looks better, will last longer and will perform better.

NOTE:

 DO NOT use sharp scrapers, strong solvents, abrasive or caustic detergents as they could

corrode or damage the fryer.

 Ensure that any detergent or cleaning material have been completely removed after each

cleaning.

To keep your fryer clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures below:-

Draining and Daily Cleaning

1. At end of each day or at end of each shift, if frying schedule is heavy, frying medium should be

drained and filtered into a receptacle.

2. Always filter the fryer when the cool zone under the elements is

hot and liquid. A cold fryer heated up won't drain, because frying
medium in this zone will remain hard if using solid fat / oils.

3. Screw the drain extension pipe onto the end of the drain valve (see

Fig 4) and position a suitable container and filter under the drain
extension pipe.

Always turn ‘Off’ electrical supply before cleaning the fryer.

This appliance is not water proof.

Do not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance.

Caution

DO NOT

USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO FRYER WHILST

F

RYER IS STILL HOT.

Warning

D

O NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE FRYER WHILST FRYER IS FULL OF OIL.

Warning

Never drain the fryer with power or elements turned ‘ON’

Always switch ‘OFF' the fryer before draining or re-filling the tank.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Opening the Drain Valve

a. Lift the locking slide on the valve

handle (Fig 5) to release valve.

b. While holding the locking slide in the

withdrawn position, rotate the handle
anticlockwise (Fig 6) to open the
valve.

c. When valve is closed, the locking slide

will drop down over the locking valve
to prevent accidental opening of the
valve as shown in Fig.5.

4. Do not empty the total contents of the fryer into one large container, as this will be dangerous and
may be difficult, when lifted up, to pour hot oil back into tank.

5. Slip a muslin or other suitable filter bag over the end of the drain valve. Crumbs will be caught in
the bag but frying medium will strain freely through into receptacle.

6. Open drain valve slowly to minimise splashing, and take care not to overfill container.

7. When tank has been drained, use a ladle or small pan with a handle and dip into hot frying medium
from container and pour around sides and bottom of tank to wash out crumbs and particles adhering
to tank.

8. Continue to dip and pour until all crumbs are washed down and into filter bag.

9. Open drain valve fully and check for any particles or crumb residue lodged in the valve. Clean out
the valve with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use a wire brush as this may damage the valve seating
and will eventually lead to leakage. If obstruction cannot be removed with a soft brush, use a
wooden probe to dislodge obstruction.

10. Wipe all exterior panels with a cloth dampened with detergent and rinse off any residue with clean
warm water.

11. Clean Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of water and a commercial
quality foodservice approved detergent.

12. Once the daily cleaning operation is completed, close drain valve and pour frying medium back into
the tank.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Weekly Cleaning

NOTE: If fryer usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is carried out

more frequently.

1. Proceed to drain and filter the tank as for 'Daily Cleaning'. Do not refill tank with frying medium
until it has been thoroughly cleaned as shown below.

2. Fill fryer with cold water to the normal fill level and add a high quality commercial cleaner that has
been specifically formulated for fryers.

All purpose cleaners are not recommended

.

NOTE: Never use a caustic or lye solution, as this will leave a fat destroying film on tank.

3. Ensure that the elements are lowered into the tank. Switch ‘ON’ the power and heat the water to
approximately 80-90°C.

4. Clean the fryer baskets at the same time by immersing them in the cleaning solution. Allow fryer to
soak for 5-10 minutes or as directed on cleaner instructions. Remove baskets and turn Off main
burners.

5. Scrub the baskets and fryer tank with a stiff nylon bristle brush to remove any remaining deposits.

DO NOT use a wire brush to clean the tank , as this will scratch the sides of the tank

.

6. Empty fryer and rinse thoroughly with water. Use a 1 part vinegar to 15 parts water solution to
rinse tank and neutralise any cleaner residue. If this proves unsuitable for cleaner being used, use a
weaker solution of up to 1 part vinegar to 25 parts water.

7. Rinse tank thoroughly with water, drain and dry.

8. Refill tank with new filtered frying medium.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

a. With the tank(s) drained, cleaned and dried as shown above, clean exterior surfaces of the fryer

Fault Finding

Fault Possible Cause Remedy

Frying Medium Foaming.

Presence of soap or detergent residue
from cleaning the tank.

Rinse fryer thoroughly three times with clean water.
Ensure fryer is perfectly dry before re-filling with
frying medium.

Excessive breakdown of frying medium. Add fresh frying medium daily to replace contents

every 3-5 days.

Continual frying of food with excess
moisture.

Remove excess moisture from foods to be fried.

Continued overheating of oil. Check thermostat setting. Turn down heat to around

120°C (Standby) when use is quiet.

Overloading. Maintain 1-8 ratio of food to frying medium.

Gumming.

Heating frying medium too rapidly. When charging fryer or starting up, melt frying

medium gradually.

Continued overheating of the frying
medium.

Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or
thermocouple.

Frying oil broken down. Check amount of fresh frying medium added to fryer

to be sure 'turnover' is adequate.

Using wrong cooking frying medium. Some frying mediums form gums when used in a deep

fryer. e.g safflower oil.

Greasy Foods.

Frying at too low temperatures. Increase temperature and check thermostat setting.

Inadequate preparation of food. Be sure foods (especially potatoes) are 'cured'

correctly.

Excessive quantities of breading or
batter.

Remove surplus breading or batter.

Placing food in frying medium direct
from the freezer.

Allow frozen foods to thaw before frying.

Surplus moisture in and on surface of
food.

Drain and dry foods before frying.

Frying medium in advanced stages of
breakdown.

Discard 'old' frying medium and refill fryer with new
frying medium.

Use of dripping or other unrefined oil. Due to low smoking point, cooking in these oils at

lower temperatures will result in greater oil absorbtion
by the food.

Using the wrong kind of cooking oil. Always use a completely refined and deodorised

cooking oil.

Inadequate frying oil turnover. Adjust procedures to fry more food in fryer to increase

turnover.

Overheating of oil. Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or

thermocouple.
Contamination. Filter or strain the oil daily.
Poor cleaning procedures. Clean fryer daily or at least once a week and rinse

thoroughly. Dry fryer before use.
Presence of copper or brass in the fryer

equipment.

Remove all copper or brass fittings from contact with

the oil.
Overloading fryer. Maintain 1-8 ratio of food to frying oil.

Food excessively moist. Drain and dry the food before frying.
Overheating oil on ‘Standby’ mode. Reduce temperature of frying oil between 93°C during

idle (‘Standby’) periods.

Rapid Oil Breakdown.

Guide to Cooking Problems with Fryer

This section provides an easy reference guide to the more common problems that may occur during the
operation of your equipment. 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. In such instances, please contact your local authorised service agent who will
make every effort to help you identify and resolve the problem. Please note that the service agent will
require the following information:-

 Model Code and Serial Number of appliance. (both can be found on Rating Plate located on

the appliance).

20

Fault Finding

Fault Possible Cause Remedy

Oil Smoking.

Insufficient turnover of oil. Maintain a minimum quantity of oil in fryer for more

rapid turnover or increase the quantity of food fried in
fryer. Replace with fresh oil every 3 to 5 days.

Continual frying with excess moisture on
food.

Drain foods before frying, pat food dry.

Contamination of oil. Filter or strain daily to remove contaminants.

Overheating of oil. Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or

thermocouple.

Rapid breakdown of oil. Use a stable frying oil.
Use of unrefined oils. Dripping smokes at lower temperature than refined

and deodorised oils.

Darkening of Oil.

Presence of salt on the food. Salt foods after frying and away from the fryer.

Foods dipped in batter high in egg yolk. Reduce egg content of batter, replace part egg with

milk.
Contamination of oil. Filter or strain oil daily to remove contaminants.
Poor cleaning practice. Clean fryer at least weekly or each day in cases of

heavy usage. Ensure fryer is perfectly dry before use.

Overheating of oil. Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or

thermocouple.
Insufficient oil turnover. Top up daily to replace the contents of fryer in 3 to 5

days.

Cooking foods with high sugar levels. At the end of the season, potatoes are usually high in

reduced sugars. When fried, they will darken quickly

and colour the oil.

NOTE: Excessive oil usage is an indication of high absorption of oil into the food. This is a

function of temperature and character of the goods being fried - NOT due to type of oil
being used (unless refined oils are being used). Any variation in the apparent life of the oil
is always due to one or more of the causes mentioned above.

21

Fault Finding

Fault Possible Cause Remedy

Elements do not Heat Up.

Check mains power is supplied to the unit
and that a circuit breaker or fuse has not
tripped / blown.

Check element is flat and that the tilt
microswitch is closed.

Check thermostat setting is correct and
that control knob is set to 'ON' position.

Turn On power. Reset circuit breaker or
replace blown fuse.

Adjust microswitch so that the microswitch
is activated when element is fully down in
the flat (cooking position).

Replace thermostat.
Call service provider.

Over-Temperature Thermostat Cuts
Out.

Over-temperature thermostat faulty.

Control thermostat not maintaining set
temperature.
a. Thermostat out of calibration.
b. Thermostat does not open on

temperature rise.

Thermostat opens on temperature rise but
control valve does not respond.

If the overtemp cuts out below 220ºC,
replace over-temperature thermostat.

Check continuity through thermostat leads,
on temperature rise. If circuit does not
open, replace thermostat.

Check electrical connections are correct.
Call service provider.
