This document describes the PFE-500 Electric Pressure Fryer with pump, a commercial kitchen appliance designed for frying various foods under pressure.
The PFE-500 is an American-style pressure fryer that incorporates advanced techniques from both Western and traditional Chinese frying methods. Its primary function is to fry chicken, fish, spareribs, mutton, and other meats and vegetables efficiently and safely. The machine utilizes stainless steel construction, electronic time and temperature control, and an automatic air expulsion system. A key feature is its integrated oil filter, which effectively removes impurities from the oil, enhancing the quality of fried food and extending oil life. This makes the PFE-500 suitable for hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, factories, and dining rooms, offering advantages such as low energy consumption, pollution-free operation, convenience, and high efficiency.
The fryer should be placed in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated area. During operation, the movable castors must be cushioned, balanced, and fastened. High indoor humidity should be avoided to prevent decreased electrical insulation. An exhaust device may be necessary. The machine requires a 3N~400V power supply, and the neutral conductor (N) must be connected carefully to prevent damage. A dedicated cutoff switch should be installed on the input line, and all electrical facilities must meet the machine's capacity requirements. Installation should be performed by an eligible technician. The grounding terminal must be reliably grounded with a section of at least 2.5 mm². If multiple machines are in use, an equipotential device should be installed between them. After conveyance, all loosened parts should be tightened during installation and debugging.
Before turning on the ON switch, at least 25L of oil must be poured into the pot, ensuring the oil level is about 10mm higher than the heaters. Before pouring oil, ensure the oil drain valve and oil filter valve at the bottom are closed.
