1. Ensure pilot burner is alight, by visually checking
through the Pilot Burner Viewing Opening.
2. Rotate Thermostat Control Knob to temperature
required.
3. Rotate Gas Control Knob to Main Burner posi-
tion.
4. Main burner will ignite automatically off the pilot
burner.
NOTE:
If main burner is turned ‘On’ immediately after
pilot burner is lit, there will be a delay of
approximately 30 seconds until the thermopile
(which provides power to open the main valve) is
heated up by the pilot burner.
Main burner will not light if frying medium
temperature is above thermostat set temperature.
Turning gas control knob from pilot to main burner
position will allow manual cycling of the burner
‘On’ and ‘Off’ when melting shortening.
1. Temperature used for frying food is the most
important aspect of fryer operation. Incorrect
temperatures will result in poor product quality
and will reduce the life of oil / shortening.
2. Temperature can be set from 90°C to 190°C.
3. To set the operating temperature, turn the
thermostat to the desired setting.
4. Main burner will operate automatically to
maintain this temperature.
5. As a safety precaution this FastFri Fryer features
an Over-Temp Control which will ‘Turn Off’ the
fryer in the event that the oil reaches over 220°C,
should the thermostat fail.
NOTE:
If fryer is not being used for short periods of time,
main burner can be turned to 'Stand-by'
temperature (Approx 120°C) this allows the main
burner to cycle 'On' and 'Off' and maintain oil
temperature just below operating temperature.
To ‘Pilot’ Position.
a. Rotate Thermostat Control Knob to ‘Off’ posi-
tion.
b. Main Burner will extinguish and ‘Pilot Burner’ will
remain alight.
To ‘Off’ Position.
a. With Thermostat Control Knob turned to 'Off',
rotate Gas Control Knob to the 'O' position,
the ‘Pilot Burner’ will extinguish.
If pre-melting of shortening is not possible,
cut the shortening into pieces and packed
down into the tank.
Bringing the shortening up to frying
temperature, when not pre-melting, should
be done in two stages.
Pre-Heating;
Light main burner and manually cycle burner
‘On’/ ‘Off’ until the shortening has liquefied.
Ideally the main burner should be cycled ‘On’
for 5 seconds and ‘Off’ for 10 seconds.
Following this procedure should allow
shortening to liquefy gradually without
scorching.
Once the shortening has liquefied, it can be
brought up to fryer operating temperature.
NOTE:
Running burner continuously will cause
shortening in contact with tank to overheat,
resulting in premature oil breakdown. Never
allow shortening to smoke while melting as this
indicates that the temperature is too high. If
the shortening starts smoking, increase the ‘Off'
intervals of the main burner.
1. With the fryer tank full of frying medium, the pilot
burner can be lit.
2. Check the gas supply is turned ‘On’ at the mains
supply.
3. Open the access door at front of fryer to access
the control panel.
4. Rotate gas control knob to the pilot position and
hold the gas control knob depressed.
5. Manually light the pilot burner through the Pilot
Burner Viewing Opening.
6. Continue holding Gas Control Knob depressed
for approx. 10 to 15 seconds after igniting pilot
burner, then release, pilot burner should remain
alight.
7. If the pilot burner does not ignite, repeat Items 1
to 6 above.
