Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Filling: Position the fryer on a flat, level, heat-resistant workbench near a dedicated 15A outlet. Ensure the front drain valve is fully closed. Fill the tank with commercial frying oil up to the designated fill line (14.5 L capacity). Plug into your 240V 15A wall outlet.

2. Operation: Set the thermostat dial to your target frying temperature and set the digital timer for your specific doughnut dough batch size. Once heated, place dough portions into the oil. Turn doughnuts midway through cooking and remove them onto the sloped draining shelf once the timer alarm sounds.

3. Daily Cleaning & Oil Maintenance: At the end of trading, allow the oil to cool completely. Position a heat-safe oil filter container beneath the front drain tap and open the valve to drain and filter the oil. Wipe down the stainless steel tank interior, exterior panels, and draining shelf with warm soapy water and a mild commercial degreaser.
