General

These fryers are constructed in stainless steel and due to the swing out elements are easy to clean.
The elements cannot be switched ‘ON’ in the raised position. A perforated stainless steel tray is fitted
over the elements, serving the double purpose of protecting the elements and supporting the baskets.
Two slots provided across the front of the splashback are to support the baskets to drain fat/oil after
cooking. The fat / oil drained off is thus returned directly to the fryer `tank.

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 come on.

NOTE: On dual tank models, if either 'Over-Temperature Control' is triggered, a fault exists in the

main thermostat and this must be reported and repaired. For temporary operation, Model
FN8127EE is fitted with a backup thermostat.
