Electrical Safety and Advice Regarding Supplementary Electrical Protection

Commercial kitchens and foodservice areas are environments where electrical appliances may be located

close to liquids, or operate in and around damp conditions, or where restricted movement for installation

and service is evident.

The installation and periodic inspection of the appliance should only be undertaken by a qualified, skilled

and competent electrician; and connected to the correct power supply suitable for load as stipulated by

the appliance data label.

The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements to local electrical

wiring regulations and electrical safety guidelines.

We recommend:-

 Supplementary electrical protection with use of a residual current device (RCD).

 Fixed wiring appliances incorporate a locally situated switch disconnector to connect to, which is

easily accessible for switching off and safe isolation purposes. The switch disconnector must meet

the specification requirements of IEC 60947.

THESE APPLIANCES MUST BE EARTHED.

A suitable terminal is provided within control compartment which should be used to earth the

appliance.

The appliance is also provided with a terminal for the connection of an external

equipotential conductor. This terminal is in effective electrical contact with all fixed

exposed metal parts of the appliance, and shall allow the connection of a conductor having

a nominal cross-sectional area of up to 10 mm². It is located on the rear panel and is

identified by the following label and must only be used for bonding purposes.

Note

When connecting to a single phase supply, the three line terminals must be connected together using the wire links

provided. It is important that the links and the incoming supply cable be connected as shown in the following

diagram.

After connecting to supply, replace facia panel and test appliance.

SECTION 2 - ASSEMBLY and COMMISSIONING

2.1 ASSEMBLY

a). Place appliance in position. Carefully level with feet adjusters. For table top units, remove feet from bag and

screw into locations on unit base prior to positioning and levelling.

b). To mount a unit on purpose built stand, refer to instructions supplied with stand.

c). The appliance is supplied complete and ready to connect to the supply mains.

2.2 CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

To gain access to terminals, proceed as follows:-

Open door(s). Remove fixings in lower flange of control panel.

Ease bottom of panel forward slightly, then outward to release it.

On double pan model, it will be found convenient to rest the panel on the opened doors.

To support facia panel on E350/36 model, a swinging arm is provided. This is located beneath bottom panel of

control chamber, behind door compartment. The panel should rest on door and the out-swung arm.

The terminals are now accessible within controls compartment. The supply cables may be fed upward, through in-

built conduit tube.

2.3 COMMISSIONING

Ensure that unit is isolated from mains supply.

Clean pan using a hot water and detergent solution.

Rinse pan and dry it thoroughly before commencing operation.

Fill with cooking oil to the level marked on the element guard and switch on with the thermostat at maximum

setting i.e. 190°C. Check that pilot lamps function and that thermostat operates.

Having completed installation, demonstrate method of operation to the kitchen staff. Point out the location of

isolating switch for use in an emergency or during cleaning.

SECTION 3 - SERVICING

Before attempting any maintenance task, isolate appliance at main switch and take steps to

ensure that it cannot be inadvertently switched on.

3.1 CONTROL PANEL - TO REMOVE

a) Open door(s) and remove fixings in lower flange of control panel, near the ends. Ease bottom of panel forward

slightly, then outward to release it.

b) On single pan model, a swinging arm is provided to support control panel during maintenance. On double pan

units, rest panel upon open doors.

3.2 CONTROL THERMOSTAT

Should this component prove to be faulty, it is not normally repairable. It must be replaced, using the following

procedure:-

a) Drain pan.

b) Remove control panel. (Refer to Section 3.1)

c) Identify control thermostat and remove push-on connections. First note their locations.

d) Using a stubby pozidrive screwdriver, remove thermostat from control panel.

e) Remove heating element as detailed in Section 3.4.

f) Remove cover plate on element hinge block through which capillary tube passes. Manoeuvre capillary tube and

phial through moving hinge tube.

g) Feed capillary tube and phial through hole in base of hinge block. Remove thermostat.

h) Replace thermostat in reverse order, taking care that capillary tube is well clear of element terminals.

Note

When fitting a new thermostat, fit existing insulating sleeving over capillary tubing. Ensure that no tubing is left

exposed to possible contact with live parts. Coil the excess capillary tube by wrapping it round a suitable mandrel of

approximately 1½” diameter. When fitting gland, ensure it is tightened firmly but do not over tighten. Always check

fitting for leaks by re-filling with oil and heating to maximum temperature.

When fitting thermostat to control panel, ensure that earth bonding wire is replaced below one of the thermostat

fixing lugs. Take care that coiled capillary tubing is clear of any live parts when control panel is replaced.

Re-fit the thermostat in reverse order to removal.

3.3 PILOT LAMPS - TO REPLACE

a) Remove control panel. (Refer to Section 3.1)

b) Pull off lamp connections.

c) Undo hex nut at rear of lamp and remove lamp.

Replace in reverse order.

3.4 HEATING ELEMENT - TO REPLACE

To replace element, proceed as follows:-

a) Drain pan.

b) Remove basket support bar from element and fully raise element.

c) Remove fixings on underside of element terminal box.

d) Remove element terminal box cover plate by prising up lower edge with a screwdriver.

e) Lower element and remove guard (4 fixings).

f) Remove element push on connections. First note their locations.

g) Remove fixings which secure element to terminal box. Remove element.

Replace in reverse order and ensure that oil resistant gasket is fitted below element mounting plate.

Important

Earth bonding connections are provided with shakeproof or spring washers. It is important that

these be correctly replaced during re-assembly.

3.5 SAFETY THERMOSTAT

3.5.1 To Re-set

In event of control thermostat failure resulting in overheating of the oil, the safety thermostat will operate and will

switch off all power to elements.

To re-establish circuit, it will be necessary to re-set the safety thermostat.

Allow fryer to cool and remove control panel (refer to Section 3.1). This will reveal safety thermostat which is

mounted on rear of controls compartment. For newer E350/37 units this is placed on the bottom of the control

panel support, accessible by opening the doors.

To re-set, firmly press red button.

On double pan models, LH and RH thermostats are appropriate to LH and RH pans respectively.

3.5.2 Safety Thermostat - To Replace

a) Drain pan.

b) Remove control panel. (Refer to Section 3.1)

c) Identify safety stat and remove push-on connections. First note their locations.

d) Using a stubby pozi screwdriver, remove stat from mounting bracket.

e) Remove heating element as detailed in Section 3.4.

f) Remove cover plate on element hinge block, through which capillary tube passes. Manoeuvre capillary tube and

phial through moving hinge tube.

g) Feed capillary tube and phial through hole in base of hinge block. Remove thermostat.

h) Replace thermostat in reverse order. Ensure capillary tube is well clear of element terminals.

After replacing thermostat, press red button firmly to ensure contacts are in closed condition.
