Elektrische Verbindung

The GF14 model uses millivolt controls and typically does not require an external electrical connection for basic operation, as the pilot light generates the necessary millivolts. However, if your model includes optional accessories (e.g., filtration systems), ensure they are connected to a grounded electrical supply according to local codes.

Filling the Frypot

Before lighting the pilot, ensure the frypot is filled with cooking oil or solid shortening to the MIN OIL LEVEL mark. If using solid shortening, melt it slowly at a low temperature setting before increasing to desired frying temperature.

Anzünden des Piloten

1. Drehen Sie den Thermostatknopf auf die AUS Position.
2. Push in and hold the thermostat knob, then turn it to the PILOT Position.
3. While holding the knob in, light the pilot burner with a match or lighter. Hold the knob in for approximately 30-60 seconds after the pilot lights to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
4. Den Knopf loslassen. Falls die Zündflamme erlischt, den Vorgang wiederholen.

Hauptbrennerbetrieb

Once the pilot is lit, turn the thermostat knob to the desired frying temperature. The main burner (master jet burner) will ignite automatically and cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature, monitored by the temperature probe. The auto high temperature shut-off feature will activate if the oil temperature exceeds safe limits.

Braten

Place food items into the twin baskets and carefully lower them into the hot oil. Do not overload the baskets, as this can lower oil temperature and result in soggy food. Use the basket hanger to drain excess oil after frying.

Wartung und Reinigung

Regular cleaning and maintenance extend the life of your fryer and ensure food quality.

Tägliche Reinigung
