SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Falcon E350/36 & E350/37 floor mounted fryers
are part of the Falcon 350 range of equipment. All
units comprising this series are of modular
dimensions of 350mm and 700mm wide. This
enables suites to be installed in a matching line.
Some appliances, such as these fryers and ranges
are floor mounted whereas others are designed for
counter mounting.

The E350/36 fryer is 350mm wide with a single pan.
The E350/37 model is a double pan appliance which

is 700mm wide.
Each pan has a separate element assembly which is

individually thermostatically controlled.

Warning - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

SECTION 2 - CONTROLS and OPERATION
CONTROLS

The thermostat control knob and two indicator lamps
are mounted on the control panel. On the E350/37
model, these are duplicated).

The MAINS lamp (RED) will become lit when the
external isolating switch is closed and will indicate
that power is available to the fryer.

The THERMOSTAT lamp (AMBER) only lights when
the heating elements are being supplied with current.
This will extinguish when the frying medium has
reached the selected frying temperature.

The elements are switched off when the control knob
is at the O (OFF) position.

A drain valve for each individual pan is concealed
behind the door. This enables the oil to be run off into
a suitable receptacle.

Each pan is equipped with two chip baskets and a
perforated base grid. A basket draining support is
also provided and a dust cover is supplied for each
pan.

Each pan is fitted with a SAFETY THERMOSTAT
which will switch off the elements in event of the oil
becoming overheated should the control thermostat
fail. Should this occur, it will be necessary to have the
appliance serviced by a qualified person who will
rectify the fault and re-set the safety thermostat.

FRYING MEDIUM
Caution

The appliance will achieve optimum performance
when a good quality vegetable oil is used as the frying
medium. Nevertheless, favourable results may also
be obtained from cooking fats, provided the following
procedures are adhered to.

a) Never operate the thermostat above the smoke

point of the chosen fat, e.g. Some dripping can
have a smoke point as low as 170

o

C. Reputable

fat manufacturers supply this information.

b) To prevent localised overheating around the

elements or external walls of the pan, fat should
be broken up into small pieces when charging the
pan or topping up to a working level .The
thermostat should not be set above 120

o

C until

the fat is in a liquid state.

OPERATION
Initial Charging Of The Pan
important

Ensure that the appliance has been turned OFF at the
mains isolating switch.

Prior to operation, clean the pan using hot water and
detergent.

Rinse the pan and dry it thoroughly before use.
Ensure that the drain valve is closed.
Fill the pan with oil to the level mark on the element

guard.
Turn ON at the the isolating switch and set the

thermostat knob to the desired frying
temperature.

Leave the appliance to heat up. When the oil has
reached the selected temperature, the amber light will
extinguish and the fryer is ready for use.

When the oil temperature falls, ie. when food is
immersed in the oil, the thermostat automatically
restores the supply of current to the elements.

The oil capacity for model E350/36 is 12 litres and
model E350/37 is 12 litres for each pan (a total of
24 litres).

Warning

Your attention is drawn with regard to the following
safety related points -

Never under any circumstances switch the fryer ON
unless it is filled with oil or water.

Before draining the pan or raising the elements for
cleaning, switch off at the isolating switch.

Surge boiling may occur if over wet food or a larger
than recommended load requires to be prepared.

There is a possibility that the unit could catch fire if
the oil is allowed to go below the specified operating
level.

Old oil has a reduced flash point to that of fresh oil
and is therefore more prone to surge boiling.

The MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOAD is 0.9kg
(2 lbs) per pan.
