EGGKITPO EGEF-10L-2 (01) PDF Document

Remarks:“-2” at the end of Model No. means dual version of single version. For instance, EGEF-10L-2 means dual version of EF-10L. Each working station of Dual deep fryers are identical to Single deep fryer.

The EGEF-10L-2 is a dual fryer, where each side has the following parts based on the EGEF-10L model:

1. Power indicator (green)

2. Thermostat indicator (yellow)

3. Temperature control knob

4. Reset button – located on back of machine

5. Heating element cover

6. Basket hook

7. Night cover

8. Main housing

9. Rubber feet

10. Basket handle (basket not shown)

Note: The Double Fryer has 2 plugs, one plug supplying power to each side.

Please follow these steps for basket assembly (Basket*1, handle*1, wingscrew*2, nuts*2):

1. Take two wingscrews and push them through the hole of the metal sheet on the basket.

2. Take the handle, line up the wingscrew and the hole on the handle, then tighten them. Note the handle should be locked inside the basket.

3. Tight the nuts on the wingscrew. Make sure the nuts and wingscrew are tight and finished.

NOTE: During the first use of the Deep Fryer, the oil pan and frying basket may emit a slight odor. This is normal and will quickly dissipate. You may see smoke coming from the elements when the machine is first switched on, this is also normal.

WARNING! This unit should not be used to boil water.

1. Before using this product, ensure that the electricity supply conforms to the rating markings on the fryer and check there is no damage to the power cord.

2. Always ensure the element cover is in place within the oil tank. It sits on top of the heating element and is designed to protect it.

3. Add oil to the tank. Be aware of the oil indication marks. For safe operation of the product, DO NOT allow the level of oil to exceed the ‘H’ High mark when adding oil. The oil level MUST also exceed the ‘L’ low mark for safe usage.

4. Ensure the fryer is plugged into the socket and that power is switched on. The green power indicator lights up.

5. Rotate the temperature control clockwise to the required setting. A yellow, thermostat indicator lights up showing that the oil is being heated. The green power indicator remains lit.

6. When the oil reaches the selected temperature the yellow thermostat indicator goes out. The light will cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature of the oil.

7. The frying basket is for cooking small food items. Before using ensure the handle is securely locked in place. Lower the basket containing the food for frying into the hot oil. When food is cooked the basket can be lifted to a draining position by placing the hook located on the basket into the rods on the tank.

8. If the cooking temperature gets too high, an overheat facility will cut in and turn the fryer off. The product can be reset by allowing the unit to cool to room temperature then pushing the reset button found at the back (or front) of the fryer. Seek advice from a qualified technician if the overheat facility repeatedly cuts in.

9. When frying is completed, the temperature control must be turned anti-clockwise to the ‘MIN’ position and the power switch turned off.

10. Unplug the fryer from the mains power when not in use.

11. When cooking is finished, the oil must be removed from the fryer and stored elsewhere. This procedure MUST only be carried out when the oil is COMPLETELY COOL. Take caution: Oil can stay hot for 6-7 hours. Ensure that the fryer is unplugged from the mains.

12. For the EGEF-10L-2, when the temperature of the oil cools down, remove the heating element cover, control box and element, then pour the old oil out of the pot.

13. It is suggested to clean the oil tank and heating element when oil has been removed from it.

Please pay extra attention to wording in “RED” and “Bold Black” in the manual.

The EGGKITPO EGEF-10L-2 is a dual unit equipped with two grounded 3-prong NEMA 5-15 plugs. It needs two 5-15R receptacles. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

IMPORTANT: Always unplug the fryer from the mains power socket and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Oil can stay hot for 6-7 hours.

1. Make sure your Deep Fryer is unplugged and the filled oil pan has cooled completely.

2. Remove the night cover.

3. Remove the frying basket from the oil pan.

4. Gently pull up to remove the control panel/heater assembly. Use caution as oil may splash out. Wipe the control panel/heater assembly with a damp cloth and dry completely. Handle the heating element and assembly with care. CAUTION: Do not immerse the control panel/heater assembly in water.

5. Grasp the oil pan handles. They will slide up and out to allow oil pan removal from the Deep Fryer body.

6. Carefully strain the oil from the oil pan into a suitable container. It is best to work over a sink or garbage can in case of any spillage.

7. Oil Pan Cleaning: Soak in hot, soapy water. Use a stiff nylon brush to remove stubborn or burned-on residue. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning products.

8. Frying Basket Cleaning: The frying baskets should be hand washed before first use and should be seasoned in oil before going into the dishwasher for the first time. To season, place the clean and dry, empty frying basket in the oil and set the temperature to 390°F. When the temperature is reached, remove the basket and allow it to cool. Repeat the procedure. After seasoning, the basket can be placed in the dishwasher.

9. Wash the deep fryer body in hot, soapy water by hand. Dry all parts thoroughly.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the heating element cover and oil pan are completely dry after washing and before use.

• Never over-fill the frying basket with food. Maximum basket capacity is 2/3 full.

• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food for best results.

• In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.

• Cut or sort food into uniform sizes to ensure they cook in the same amount of time.

• Dry damp foods before placing into oil. Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying.

• When using a breading, evenly coat the food. Fine, uniform crumbs stick better than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off all extra breading to help keep oil clean.

• To prevent contamination of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food during frying or when the food is draining above the oil.

• Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.

• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, place the foods into the basket first and then lower the frying basket into the hot oil.

• Never, under any circumstances, add water or any other liquid to the oil.

• Never over-fill or under-fill the oil pan. Check that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks.

• Never use hard fats (melt first).

• Never mix different oils together to fry foods.

• Never use butter or margarine to fry foods.

• When frying fish or seafood, the oil may absorb a “fishy” taste. To eliminate transferring this taste to other foods, the oil must be changed.

WARNING! Allow the Deep Fryer to cool fully before draining and recycling the oil.

1. Frying oil should be filtered and recycled regularly, though it doesn’t need to be changed after every use.

2. Following the detailed procedures in Care & Cleaning, remove the frying basket and heating element cover.

3. Using a large funnel, filter the cooled oil through a fine sieve into a wide-neck, airtight, covered container. Alternatively, place a piece of clean cotton material into the frying basket to filter used oil.

4. This process can be repeated after 3 or 4 frying sessions without the oil deteriorating.

5. If oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and is filtered after every use, it may be used up to 8 times.

6. As oil absorbs food flavors, label containers with the type of food that was cooked in the oil (e.g., sweet desserts, vegetables, chicken, fish, etc.).

NOTE: DO NOT pour used oil down any drain. Discard used oil into a lidded container and dispose properly.

The EGGKITPO EGEF-10L-2 has two main safety features:

Micro-Switch: For operator safety, all EGGKITPO Fryers are equipped with a micro-switch that deactivates the whole unit when the Fryer head is removed. The fryer head must be placed firmly in the right place so the micro-switch (located on the bottom of the fryer head) is in touch with the main body. When the head is in the correct down position, the micro-switch is pushed in, and the heating element will have power. When the head is in the up position or removed, the switch goes to the “OFF” position and cuts power to the heating element.

Thermal Cut-off / Temperature Safety Reset Switch: This is a built-in device that will automatically shut off the fryer to avoid overheating if the oil temperature reaches 465°F (240°C). This switch requires a manual reset.

The temperature safety switch cuts off power if the oil temperature reaches 465°F (240°C). First, determine and correct the cause (e.g., dirty oil, low oil level, element not properly submerged). The reset switch is usually located on the back panel of the unit.

To reset the switch, follow these 4 steps:

1. Wait until the oil has cooled to 300°F (148°C) or below.

2. Remove the switch cover by unscrewing it counterclockwise.

3. Use a pen or similar narrow tool and press the reset button down. The button should stay in the down or in the set position.

4. Place the switch cover back on and secure by screwing clockwise.

If a problem occurs that does not appear on this table, stop using the fryer and seek help from the manufacturer, a qualified technician or an authorized dealer.
