4.3 Gas Connection
- This fryer supports both natural gas and propane.
- For natural gas use, the air intake connection must be professionally modified, and appropriate connectors must be purchased separately.
- Ensure all gas connections are secure and leak-free before operation. Use a gas leak detector or soapy water solution to check for leaks.
4.4 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the oil tanks and frying baskets with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Filling Oil Tanks
- Ensure the fryer is off and cool.
- Pour cooking oil into each tank, ensuring the oil level is between the minimum and maximum fill lines. Do not overfill.
5.2 Ignition and Temperature Setting
- Turn the gas supply on.
- Push and turn the desired tank's control knob to the ignition position (usually marked with a flame symbol) and hold for a few seconds to allow gas to flow.
- Once ignited, continue to hold the knob for a few more seconds to engage the thermocouple, then release. The flame should remain lit.
- Adjust the knob to the desired temperature setting. The temperature range is 50°C to 380°C (122°F to 716°F).
- Allow the oil to preheat to the target temperature before adding food.
5.3 Frying Food
- Carefully place food into the frying baskets. Do not overload the baskets, as this can lower oil temperature and result in soggy food.
- Slowly lower the baskets into the hot oil.
- Fry until food is golden brown and cooked through.
- Lift the baskets and allow excess oil to drain before removing food.

5.4 Shutting Down
- Turn all control knobs to the "OFF" position.
- Turn off the main gas supply valve.
- Allow the oil to cool completely before cleaning or covering.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Daily Cleaning
- After each use, once the oil has cooled, drain the oil from the tanks.
- Remove frying baskets and clean them with warm, soapy water.
- Wipe down the exterior of the fryer with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Ensure all surfaces are dry before next use.
6.2 Oil Filtration and Replacement
- Regularly filter cooking oil to extend its lifespan and maintain food quality.
- Replace oil when it becomes dark, smokes excessively, or develops an off-flavor.
6.3 Deep Cleaning
- Periodically, perform a deep clean of the oil tanks. Remove any solidified oil or residue.
- Use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all cleaning solution residue.
