FRYERS: KEY MAINTENANCE TIPS

Change the oil if it smokes at normal operating temperature, if it looks dark or if it's cloudy when hot.

If clean oil smokes at normal temperature settings, it might be overheating because of a faulty thermostat, so get it checked before it all catches fire.

All fryers are fitted with a safety thermostat to stop them overheating. If it trips out, you might be able to reset it, but call a service engineer to check it. Don't reset it more than once.

Before draining the oil, ensure the fryer is switched off long enough for the oil to cool to 60°C or lower. Don't leave it switched on at low temperature or the oil might overheat when the level drops below the thermostat probe.

When refitting electric heating elements after daily cleaning, lower them carefully into position and don't damage the thermostat probes.

Never switch the fryer on without checking that the oil is at the operating level.

Regularly empty the oil and filter it before pouring it back into the pan.

Ensure that the ventilation fitted above the fryer is clean and operational.
