Troubleshooting

Fryer not heating up

Check the three-phase power supply connection and ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify that the thermostat is set to the desired temperature and that the safety interlock on the heating element is properly engaged.

Uneven cooking results

Ensure the oil temperature is stable and consistently within the set range. Check that the oil level is adequate. Clean the heating elements and ensure no food debris is obstructing them. Verify that the correct basket is being used and not overloaded.

Oil draining slowly or not at all

Confirm that the drain valve is fully open. Check for any blockages in the drain system or filter. Ensure the fryer is level to allow for complete drainage.

Excessive smoking from the fryer

This could indicate the oil is overheating or degraded. Check the thermostat setting and consider replacing the oil if it is old or contaminated. Ensure food is not dropped into the oil with excessive water content.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This unit is a 24kW three-phase electric fryer. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is required to connect it to the appropriate three-phase power supply.

Compatibility:

Ensure your kitchen's electrical system can support a 24kW load on a three-phase supply before purchasing. The fryer is a free-standing unit and requires adequate ventilation space around it.

Care and Cleaning:

  1. Daily Cleaning: After use, allow the oil to cool completely. Use the hinged, lift-out element for access. Drain oil via the inboard drainage system into a suitable container.
  2. Tank Cleaning: Wipe the inclined base and interior of the tanks with a non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
  3. Element Care: Ensure the heating element is clean and free from food debris. The lift-out design facilitates this.
  4. Exterior Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  5. Regular Maintenance: Periodically check the thermostat calibration and the condition of the power cord.
