User Thermostat
This is an adjustable setting device which will provide frying temperatures up to 190
o
C.
Safety Thermostat
This is pre-set at the factory. In the event of a thermostat failur e the safety stat will shut the gas off at the pilot and main burners should the oil temperature rise above 230
o
C.
This device can be reset by a push of the red button.
Gas Control
Situated at the top side of the multifunctional control, the control knob is set correctly when the appropriate symbol is alongside the pointer. (See Figure 2)
Flame Failure Device
Operated by the pilot flame. If the pilot becomes extinguished, gas will be shut off from the main burner.
Warning
If the pilot is turned off for any reason, wait a minimum of three minutes before attempting to relight it. The burner gas control is built-in to the flame failure device and the method of operation is detailed below
SECTION 2 - LIGHTING and OPERATION Lighting
A 20 second delay (approx.) will occur between establishing a pilot flame and burner ignition.
Operating The Fryer
The unit will operate automatically with the burner going out when the desired temperature is reached. No further operation of the control knob is necessary until the cooking cycle is over
Choice of Frying Medium
A good quailty vegetable oil is preferred. However, pure edible dripping may be used providing that the thermostat setting does not exceed 180
o
C. The smoke point will be reached above such a setting and the fat will break up and deteriorate.
Important
In order to meet the requirements of the Fire Precautions Act 1971, the unit should always be turned off when unattended.
Warning
It is dangerous to use oil which is too old as it has a reduced flash point temperature and is prone to surge boiling. Change the oil regularly to prevent risk to the operator.
Caution
To prevent surge boiling, do not exceed the recommended loads and never charge the pan with over-wet food items. Never leave a working fryer unattended.
Caution
Overheating of oil should be avoided.
Replenishing Oil When Fryer Is Hot Caution
- It is recommended that replenishment of oil
should take place when the fryer is cool.
Recommended Filling levels Caution
- Always maintain an oil level between the maximum and minimum levels indicated on the pan wall rear.
Initial Charging Of The Pan
Prior to first time use, the pan should be thoroughly cleaned using hot water and detergent. Rinse and dry upon completion.
Make sure that the drain valve is closed. Fill the pan with oil up to the level indicated by the strip on the well rear. Appro ximate capacity is :
G1808X - 15 litres G1838X - 24 litres G1848X - 2 x 15 litres
If solid fat is used, remove the basket supports from the pan bottom(s). Apply fat in small pieces and melt at a thermostat setting of 120
o
C. Add fat until the required level has been achieved. Solid fat should always be melted at a low setting. Set frying temperature when the fat has disappeared.

Lighting The Burner Warning
After turning off pilot for any reason, wait
at least 5
minutes
before attempting to relight.
Ensure that there is cooking oil in the pan before lighting. The thermostat must be turned off (fully anti-clockwise).
A 20 second delay (approx.) will occur between establishing a pilot flame and burner ignition.
The pilot has to be lit using the following procedure: a) Push control knob in and turn to pilot position.
(See Figure 2)
b) Continue to hold knob in. Press igniter, located on
inner front panel wall, behind the door fully inwards and release. The spark should light pilot. If pilot does not light, continue to press and release igniter button unti l pilot lights.
c) When pilot is lit, hold control knob in for 20 seconds
then release.
d) Check pilot remains lit. If pilot is extinguished when
knob is released, wait at least 3 minutes before
repeating from Step 1. Main burner may now be lit as follows : a) Light pilot as above and wait 30 seconds. b) Set thermostat to 190
o
C.
c) Turn control knob to MAIN position (Figure 2) and
check burner lights. d) Having lit burner turn thermostat to required setting
if other than 190
o
C.

SECTION 3 - COOKING HINTS Frying Chips
Set thermostat to 180
o
C for dripping or 190oC for oil.
Each basket will hold 1.8kg (max.) of raw chips. Cook for 4 - 6 minutes according to size and type of
potato. Slightly longer frying times are required when using dripping. Output will also be marginally less.
Slow Blanching
This may be necessary when large quantities of chips are required at peak periods. This process consists of pre-frying at a thermostat setting of 150
o
C. Frying
time is 3 - 5 minutes.
Fast Blanching
This should be carried out at a setting of 180
o
Cfor
dripping or 190
o
C for oil. Frying time is 2 - 4 minutes.
Finishing chips prepared by either blanching method should be carried out within 3 hours at a thermostat setting of 180
o
C for dripping or 190oC for oil. frying time is 1 - 2 minutes. Serve immediatley for best results as further storage should be avoided.
Frying Fish
Take out baskets and fry fish on basket support grid at a temperature of 180
o
C. Remove portion with a regular hand held fish lifter. Small quantities of fish may be prepared in the basket(s) with the following method achieving the best results:
Dry fish well and season basket by immersing in hot fat. Place portion in basket and lower it slowly into pan. This will reduce risk of portion sticking to basket.
Other Types of Food
Food suitable for preparation by deep frying has a particular cooking temperature where best results are obtained. The following thermostat settings are recommended but may be varied to suit individual tastes. Such settings are only valid when vegetable oil is used as the frying medium. The maximum setting for dripping should never exceed 180
o
C.
The following information is simply a guide. Culinary opinion is subjective thereby any values should be considered to be approximate.
With the exception of potatoes, fried food is generally coated with one of the following :
Milk and Flour, Egg and Crumbs, Batter or Pastry
i.e. Whitebait, potato croquettes,
fillet of fish, samosas.
The coating helps to protect food item from hot oil and a variety of different food can be deep fried including :
Chicken, fish, vegetables, pork, egg, pastries and fruit

Cooking temperatures and times are dependant upon the following :
Class and state of the cooking medium Quality, size and cut of food item Pre-heat temperature Load Personal preference
When work is done, the gas control knob should be returned to the pilot position (See Figure 2) leaving the pilot lit if required.
Do not use the thermostat knob as a gas control. The burner will re-light when the temperature drops below the dial setting. Before draining, the burner control should be OFF ot avoid accidental burner operation.
Daily Cleaning
Isolate the gas supply and allow the pan contents to cool to a safe temperature. Insert the drain pipe suppied into the drain valve. Open the valve and filter the oil through a strainer into the receptacle. Close the valve and wipe down the stainless steel exterior panels with a cloth wrung out in hot water and detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Weekly Cleaning
Carry out the normal daily cleaning procedure. Remove the false pan bottom and strainer and clean seperately. Fill the pan with low sudsing detergent and hot water, just above the normal oil level mark. Allow the pan to soak overnight if necessary. Drain the detergent water away and rinse the pan thoroughly with clean, hot water before wiping dry. Reposition the false bottom and strainer and refill the pan with oil.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Stainless steel can be easily marked by certain types of scouring pad including nylon types therefore care should be exercised when using these. Always rub along in the grain direction when rubbing stainless steel with a cloth.
Safety Precautions
A stop valve will be fitted in the sas suppy pipe to the unit. The user must be familiar with the device location and operation of the valve to enable isolation in the event of an emergency.
Warning
Do not attempt to clean the fryer with a jet of water or steam clean. Acid or halogen based descaling liquids (e.g. - chlorine) and cleaning powders should similarly never be used. If a smell of gas is evident, isolate the supply and ventilate the area before calling the local Gas Region Supplier.
Take care not to damage the thermostat boss or tubes which are located within the stainless steel guards when cleaning. These are positioned immediately below the fishplate at the front of the fryer pan. The use of flammable solvents for cleaning must be avoided.
NEVER SEARCH FOR A GAS ESCAPE WITH A NAKED FLAME.
