Congratulations on your purchase of a Valentine fryer, a product of the best quality well known in Europe for over 60 years. This product will work optimally for many years if you respect a few basic rules outlined in this manual.

Warnings:

Make sure the appliance is connected by a qualified person in accordance with current standards. This appliance is designed for professional use, such as in the kitchens of restaurants, hotels and community centre canteens. It is not designed for frying in bulk in industrial food production processes.

Do not operate unattended! Make sure that children cannot access the appliance and users are properly instructed.

Hot oil can cause severe burning. Avoid any direct contact with the hot oil Ensure that your face is not near the oil pan when food is immersed in it. Thoroughly drain the food to be fried before frying. Never allow water or ice to come into contact with the hot oil.

Oil will spray out and the tank will overflow! Beware of steam and splashes of oil when cooking

Never put anything other than food into the oil pan, e.g. sealed containers, etc. otherwise these may explode and splash out burning hot oil. The oil level must never go above the "MAX" lever or drop below the "MIN" level. If the oil level is too low there is a fire risk.

Old oil or frequently used fat is more easily ignited.

If the fryer catches fire, never extinguish with water. It is recommended that a fire extinguisher and fire extinguishing blanket be installed near the fryer.

The appliances must be disconnected from their power supply during any intervention with tools or when replacing parts.

Do not use if the power cable is defective. The cable must be replaced immediately by a qualified member of the after-sales service team, respectively by Valentine Fabrique SA or your official dealer.

Valentine Fabrique SA accepts no liability for damage caused through improper use of the fryer or failure to adhere to these operating instructions.

Welcome - Safety

Please read this manual carefully before installing and commissioning the appliance. Keep it for future reference.

Commissioning

♦ If there is a protective plastic sheet this needs to be re-

moved.

♦ The voltage, current and power must correspond to the

information specified on the rating plate [17] on the back of Heating element box [21] of the appliance.

♦ In all cases, the fryer must be connected to the safety earth

with the connection cable [16].

♦ Clean the tank with warm, soapy water then

dry well. Check that the drain valve is fully closed before filling.

Important safeguards: Before connecting the power and/or filling with oil, set the switch [1] to "0". Never heat up without oil!

Safety switch: Once the heating element is raised more than 5 mm, the safety switch is activated and interrupts the current.

make sure that the heating element housing is resting on the edge of

the tank and that the two rods [14] fixed to the chassis go into the housing.

Filling oil:

Pour oil into the tank as far as the MAX level mark [8]

It is not advisable to use animal and vegetable fats that solidify. If the use of the fat cannot be avoided, it must be melted in a pan. Never melt hard blocks of fat on the heating element.

Always top up with oil after use. When the oil level is too low the efficiency drops considerably and the oil is overheating.

Cooking

Switching on

Turn the knob of the switch thermostat [1] to the temperature you require, for example 180

o

C

 The white control lamp [2] lights up  The control lamp [yellow 3] lights up

As soon as the green control lamp [4] lights up, lower the basket into the oil * The Maxi-5 model has no green control lamp

 Place the basket directly on the heating element

At the end of the cooking time (see table below), lift the basket slightly and shake it horizontally in the tank

 Hang the basket in the suspension bracket for the basket [6]  Allow the oil to drain off

After each use, turn the thermostat switch [1] to the "0" position

 Cover the fryer with the lid that is delivered with the appliance

Cooking table

Temp. Food being fried Minutes

190 oC Frozen chips 3 - 4

160 oC Prefrying raw chips 4 - 6

190 oC Frying blanched chips until golden 2 - 3

170 oC Breaded cutlets 3 - 4

170 oC Frozen chicken legs 6 - 8

180 oC Fish 2 - 4

How to save oil:

Do not leave the fryer heating for hours before or after service (the heating time is only 5 minutes): high temperatures ruin the oil even without food! Limit the temper- ature of the oil (180o C instead of the max): oil life is extended by approx. 40 %!

After each service pour oil through a microfilter (available as option) This retains even microscopic waste and can be reused many times.

If you make a lot of chips, water will accumulate in the bottom of the tank. To prevent it from overflowing, it is necessary to regularly drain approximately 1 to 2 litres in order to remove this water.

24

Changing the oil and maintenance

Follow the local guidelines for the disposal of waste oil!

Changing the oil

It is highly recommended that you thoroughly clean the fryer when you change the oil. As soon as the oil turns brown and begins to smoke (after approx. 50 to 80 operating hours) the oil must be changed. Never change the oil when it is still too hot.

Set the switch [1] to "0". Wait until the oil has cooled sufficiently. Empty the tank [20] and close the valve [10]

 Drain off the oil

Pour boiling water with a detergent (e.g. sodium hydroxide) in the tank up to approx. 5 cm above the oil level mark [8] (1-2 times per week)

 Leave to work for 10 to 30 minutes, rinse the tank and the coil of the heating element [9] with a brush (not made of metal). Do not damage the bulbs of the thermostat [13] with sharp or pointed tools

Remove the heating element box.

 Do not immerse the housing in liquid

Also clean the bottom of the tank. Drain the water

 After cleaning, rinse the tank out well with warm water, any leftover detergent will have a very harmful effect on the fresh oil that you put in the fryer

These appliances are separable, the tank can be removed from the frame

Putting the tank back in the frame

 Tanks and frames can be washed in the dishwasher

 To do this the valve must be in the "open" position

Close the valve [10] and refill the tank with fresh oil up to the "MAX" level [8]

 Put the heating element housing properly back on, locked properly in place on the 2 push nipples [14]

After use, cover the fryer with its lid

 The light affects the quality of the oil

Do not use water jets or pressurised steam to clean the appliance!

25

Safety thermostat

All Valentine fryers are fitted with a safety thermostat for each tank. These safety thermostats are placed in the heating element box at the back of the fryer. The red reset button [15] goes up underneath the housing.

It is triggered:

• when the oil temperature exceeds 230°C

• when the capillary tube is damaged

• when the temperature falls below 0°C

or when the appliance is not being used properly:

• when it is being heated without oil or the oil level is too low

• when it is being drained without triggering the switch

• when a block of fat is being melted directly on the heating element

To reset the fryer:

• Stop the fryer (thermostat switch [1] to Pos. "0")

• Allow the fryer to cool down (to speed this process up lift the heating element and

place it on the lid). Until the thermostat bulb [13] attached to the heating element cooled down, you cannot reset the safety thermostat

• Press down firmly on the red button [15] (until you hear the "click")
