4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the fryer from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and supplier.
2. Placement: Place the fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Adjust the height-adjustable stainless steel feet to level the unit.
3. Electrical Connection: The fryer requires a 400V / 3N/PE / 50 Hz electrical connection with a power rating of 18 kW. This appliance is delivered without a power cable. Connection must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. Ensure proper grounding.
4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean all parts that will come into contact with food (tanks, baskets, lids) with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
5. Oil Filling: Fill each frying tank with suitable frying oil up to the indicated maximum fill line. Do not overfill or underfill.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Ensure the fryer is properly filled with oil. Turn the main power switch to the "ON" position. The operation indicator lights will illuminate.
2. Set Temperature: Use the thermostat control knob for each tank to set the desired frying temperature. The heating elements will begin to heat the oil. The indicator light will turn off once the set temperature is reached and cycle on/off during operation to maintain temperature.
3. Frying: Carefully place food into the frying baskets. Lower the baskets slowly into the hot oil to prevent splashing. Do not overload the baskets, as this can lower oil temperature and result in soggy food.
4. Monitoring: Monitor the frying process. The splash guard chimney helps contain splashes.
5. Removing Food: Once food is cooked, carefully lift the baskets and allow excess oil to drain.
6. Power Off: After use, turn the thermostat control knobs to the lowest setting, then turn the main power switch to the "OFF" position.
