Deep Fat Fryer

Choose the temperature, which is suitable for what you are frying. Use the handle to place the basket in the fryer.

Place the food to be deep-fried into the basket. For best results, put dry food into the basket. This is especially important with home made chips etc. Always dry these before frying.

Lower the basket into the oil slowly to prevent excessive bubbling.

The indicator light will go out when the temperature you have selected has been reached. To keep the oil at the selected temperature, the thermostat repeatedly goes on and off, and the indicator light as well.

Raise the basket again when the frying time has elapsed. Rinse the handle and the basket after use, and dry thoroughly.

Replacing the oil

Make sure that the deep fryer and the oil have totally cooled off before replacing the oil. Replace the oil regularly. This is definitely necessary if the oil becomes dark, or takes on a different odour. In any case, replace the oil once after every 10 times that you use the deep fryer.

Replace the oil all at once; do not mix old and new oil. Discarded oil is a burden to the environment. Do not throw in the normal rubbish bin.

Safety

Here is a list of the safety precautions that must be followed by order of the boss:

• Use caution when working around hot oil. 

• Use gloves and scrapers and other cleaning tools with handles provided by your employer.
• Use the correct grease level and cooking temperatures for your deep fat fryer.
• Keep stove surfaces clean to prevent grease flare-ups.
• Extinguish hot oil or grease fires by sliding a lid over the container.
• Avoid reaching over or climbing on top of the fryers and other hot surfaces. Clean the vents when oil is cool. Keep the floor surfaces clean and dry to prevent slipping or falling onto hot surfaces. Wear slip-resistant shoes. Floors should be cleaned often with grease-cutting solutions. 
• Do not spill water or ice into the oil. Do not store employee drinks by deep fryers. They could be easily bumped into the hot oil and cause a flare-up.
• Do not overfill or pour excessive amounts of frozen fries into the deep fat fryer at one time. Overfilling causes excessive splashing and bubbling over of hot oil. Keep the floor surfaces clean and dry to prevent slipping or falling onto hot surfaces. Wear slip-resistant shoes. Floors should be cleaned often with grease-cutting solutions. 
• Do not spill water or ice into the oil. Do not store employee drinks by deep fryers. They could be easily bumped into the hot oil and cause a flare-up.
• Do not overfill or pour excessive amounts of frozen fries into the deep fat fryer at one time. Overfilling causes excessive splashing and bubbling over of hot oil. Do not pour excess ice from fry packages into the fryer.
• Do not overheat the oil; use only manufacturers recommended cooking temperatures.
   
• Do not move hot oil containers; wait until the oil is cool.
   
• Do not strain hot oil; wait until the oil is cool.
• Do not work closely to hot fryers when the floor is wet.

• Do not store oil on floors by grill area. Someone could slip and fall into the oil. 

Care, cleaning and maintenance

• Clean the deep fryer on both the inside and outside regularly.

• Clean the outside of the deep fryer with a damp cloth and dry with a soft clean cloth.

• Never use abrasive cleaners or sponges.

• The basket and the handle can be cleaned in warm, soapy water. Dry well before using again.

• When replacing the oil you can also clean the inside of the deep fryer.

Empty the deep fryer and first clean the inside with a paper towel and then with a cloth dipped in soapy water. Then wipe with a damp cloth and allow drying thoroughly.

• All components, with the exception of the electrical parts, may be cleaned in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use.

• Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended.
