B. Function

1. The EF series electric fryer is available in two models: one tank and

two tank fryer. The two tank fryer can fry two different kinds of

food without mixing the smell.

2. The unit is fitted with a thermostat which sets the temperature for

frying. There are also power and heating indicators to show the

heating status.

3. When the temperature of the oil rises to above the level above the

high limit, the safety cut-out device will cut off the power

automatically. This avoids danger from the unit temperature getting

too high and must be reset by hand.

4. When lifting the head unit, a micro-switch activates and cuts off

the power for safety and to prevent the element being dry burned.

5. The handle of frying basket can be folded and dismantled. The

removable oil tank is constructed from stainless steel and has oil

level calibration marks. The unit is easy to operate, clean, transport

and store.

6. The element has a protecting plate and is easy to withdraw from the

tank by lifting the head unit. This facilitates easy cleaning of the

element and the oil tank.

NOTE:

THE CIRCUITS FOR THE GF SERIES 1-TANK/2-TANK ELECTRIC

FRYER ARE DIFFERENT. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT 2-TANK ELECTRIC
FRYER HAS TWO TANKS AND TWO ELECTRIC BOXES AND TWO
SEPARATE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS.

E. Instruction

1. Check that the power supply is correct, and make sure the supplied

voltage is coordinated with the voltage required by the unit.

2. There is an oil level mark in the oil tank. During use the quantity

of oil in the oil tank should be kept between the “MAX” and

“MIN” levels.

3. 1) Plug the machine and switch on the power. The green indicator

illuminates. This shows that current has been supplied to the

machine.

2) Rotate the temperature controller clockwise, until the required

temperature is set. At that time, the yellow indicator illuminates

and green indicator switches off. This shows that the electric

element has stopped working and temperature of the oil in the tank

has risen to the correct level.

4. 1) When the temperature of the oil rises to the required temperature,

the temperature controller will cut off the power automatically.

2) When the temperature of the oil lowers, the temperature controller

switches the power back on automatically. The yellow indicator

illuminates, the green indicator switches off, and the electric heating

element works again causing the temperature of the oil to rise.

3) This process is repeated to ensure that the temperature of the oil

remains constant at the required temperature.

5. The lid of the tank is designed to keep the tank clean and to retain

heat. When putting on the lid, please make sure there is no water on

it in case water drops into the tank and causes oil splashes.

6. 1) The enclosed frying basket is for frying small food. There is a

hook and handle on the basket.

2) Immerse the basket in the oil when operating. When frying is

finished, lift the basket and rest it on the front notch of the tank to

drain the oil. The user can put large food into the tank directly to

fry.

7. After use, rotate the temperature controller anti-clockwise as far as

it will go to cut off the power.

8. 1) Pour the old oil out of the pot when the temperature drops to

normal.

2) First switch off the power, fish plate out of the tank, and then

take the fryer head out of the back notch in the bottom box. Electric

heating tube and electric box are removed from the tank, and

should be put in a suitable, safe place. The oil tank can now be

cleaned.

9. In order to make sure the fryer remains safe and lasts for a long

time, the user should clean out the dregs of oil and dirt from the

element.

10.The fish plate in the oil tank is designed to protect the element.

Make sure to put the partition board into the tank when frying food.

11.1) There is temperature in electric box. The moving temperature is

230ºC; reset temperature is less 170ºC.

2) There is a reset button which must be pressed when the high

temperature limit cut out has been activated. This button is located

below the fryer head. Press the reset button to restart.

12.There is a micro switch in the fryer head. When the head is put

into the bottom unit of the fryer, the electricity is connected, and

when it is lifted out the electricity is disconnected.

13.Fresh vegetable oil should be used to avoid the risk of boiling over.

Do not use old oil because it will have a reduced flash-point and be

more prone to surge boiling.

F. Notes for installation

1. The voltage for this equipment must be coordinated with the supply

voltage.

2. User should install a suitable power switch and breaker switch near

the fryer.

3. At the back of the unit is the earth bolt. Please connect the earth

wire in compliance with the safety regulations reliably with copper
cable of no less than 2mm².

4. Before use, check whether every connection is formed, voltage is

normal and ground connection is safe.

5. Do not use water to clean the electric box directly.

6. The installation of this fryer must be done by professionals.

Notice

● This equipment must be operated by trained cook or professionals.

● Do not dismantle and refit the machine. Any dismantling or

alteration could cause serious accidents.

● Do not clean the product with a water jet or immerse the electric box

into water while cleaning as this creates the risk of electric shock.

●

High temperature can cause burns. When the fryer is in use and before

or after being used, do not touch directly the body of the unit because

of high temperature.

●

Do not use a power supply with incorrect voltage.

Do not use a main switch that does not comply with safety regulations.

●

In thunderstorm conditions, unplug the unit to avoid damage from

power surges.

●

Take care not to damage the unit with hard objects.

●After using, please shut off main switch.

●The installation and maintenance of electric circuit must be carried out

by professionals.

●

If the power cord is damaged, the user should consult the manufacturer,

maintenance department or professionals to repair.

Warning!

●

When using ensure that your hands, plug and switch are dry.

●

Oil should not be allowed to get lower than the minimum oil level. Do not dry
burn.

●

Do not use water to clean the electric box directly or immerse the electric box into
water to clean.

●

Do not use old oil to fry because it will cause over boiling.

plate, the surface of the equipment and power cord. Direct washing by

water is not permitted in case of any damage to the equipment.

3. If the unit is not in use at any time, please switch off the temperature

controller and main switch.

4. Please store the equipment in a ventilated storehouse without corrosive

gas after cleaning when it is not to be used for a long time.

J. Daily check
Check the condition of the machine before and after use
every day.
