NOTE: WALDORF 'Deep Fryers’ can be used with both oil and shortening.
1. Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve behind the door is closed. A locking slide is
provided on these valves and this should always be in the locked position during use.
2. Ensure that the elements are swung down into the tank(s).
OIL - Carefully fill the fryer tank until the lower ‘Fill Level’ mark is reached.
Set the thermostat to the required operating temperature, the oil will expand as heated and will
reach the upper level mark when the oil is hot (180 - 190°C).
The FN8127 single tank fryer will hold 27 to 29 litres of oil.
The FN8224 twin tank fryer will hold 14 litres of oil per pan.
SHORTENING - Ideally shortening should be pre-melted prior to putting it into the tank. This is normally
done in a suitable vessel on a boiling table burner(s). The liquefied shortening can then be poured
into the tank until it reaches the 'FILL LEVEL' mark.
The FN8127 single tank fryer will hold 22 - 23kg of shortening.
The FN8224 twin tank fryer will hold 11kg of shortening per tank.
Pre-Heating
NOTE: When pre-melting shortening, only heat the shortening until it is just liquefied. Do not bring
the shortening up to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous.
If it is not possible to pre-melting the shortening, carefully cut shortening into small pieces and
pack below, all around and above the elements, ensuring that the element can fully lower to
operate the element tilt microswitch, otherwise the fryer will not operate.
FN8127E and FN8224E Only;- Set the tank control therm ostat to 120°C and sw itch
‘ON’ the appliance for 30 seconds and then ‘OFF’ for 1 minute. Repeat the cycle until all the
shortening is melted enough to apply full power to the heating elements. To speed up this
process, break up the shortening and stir carefully during the melting process.
Add more shortening until the tank is filled to the level marked on the tank side. Refer to Fig 4
above.
NOTE: Running the elements continuously will cause the shortening in contact with the element to
overheat, resulting in premature oil breakdown. Never allow the shortening to smoke whilst
melting as this indicates that the temperature is too high. If the shortening starts smoking,
increase the ‘Off’ intervals of the elements.

These fryers have been fitted with a ‘Fail Safe Over Temperature Safety Cut-Out’ which will protect the oil /
fat from excessive temperature if the thermostat control should fail. The power light will turn ‘Off’ if the
over temperature control has been triggered. The twin tank fryer (FN8224E) has an individual ‘Fail Safe
Over Temperature Safety Cut-Out’ for each tank.
Over-Temp Control
The over-temp thermostat is mounted behind the transformer panel, behind the access door and its
sensing bulb is located alongside the thermostat (E and EE Models).
This control is set for approx. 225-235°C oil cutout temperature. To reset the 'Overtemp Control',
allow the oil to cool down to approx 160-180°C then operate the red switch behind the access door.
The power light will then turn ‘On’.

To achieve the best results, cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical parts
checked and adjusted periodically by a competent serviceman. If any small faults occur, have them
attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that a service
check is conducted every six months.
Clean the fryer regularly. A clean fryer looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
NOTE:
DO NOT use sharp scrapers, strong solvents, abrasive or caustic detergents as they could
corrode or damage the fryer.
Ensure that any detergent or cleaning material has been completely removed after each
cleaning.
To keep your fryer clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown below:-
1. At the end of each day or at the end of each shift, if frying schedule is heavy, frying medium should
be drained and filtered into a receptacle.
2. Always filter the fryer when the cool zone under elements is hot
and liquid. A cold fryer heated up won't drain, because frying
medium in this zone will remain hard if using solid fat / oils.
3. Screw the drain extension pipe onto the end of the drain valve
(see Fig 5) and position a suitable container and filter under the
drain extension pipe.
DO NOT USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO FRYER WHILST
FRYER IS STILL HOT.
Never drain the fryer with power or elements turned ‘ON’
Always switch ‘OFF' fryer before draining or re-filling tank.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE FRYER WHILST FRYER IS FULL OF OIL.

Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift the locking slide on valve handle
(Fig 6) to release the valve.
b. While holding the locking slide in the
withdrawn position, rotate handle
anticlockwise (Fig 7) to open the
valve.
c. When the valve is closed, the locking
slide will drop down over the locking
valve to prevent accidental opening of
the valve, as shown in Fig.6.
4. Do not empty total fryer contents into one large container, as this will be dangerous and may be
difficult, when lifted up, to pour hot oil back into the fryer tank.
5. Slip a muslin or other suitable filter bag over the end of the drain valve. Crumbs will be caught in
the bag but the frying medium will strain freely through into the container.
6. Open the drain valve slowly to minimise splashing, and take care not to overfill the container.
7. When tank has been drained, use a ladle or small pan with a handle and dip into the hot frying
medium from the container and pour around the sides and bottom of the fryer tank to wash out
crumbs and particles adhering to the tank.
8. Continue to dip and pour until all crumbs and particles are washed down and into the filter bag.
9. Open the drain valve fully and check for any particles or crumb residue lodged in the valve. Clean
out the valve with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use a wire brush as this may damage the valve
seating and will eventually lead to valve leakage. If the obstruction cannot be removed with a
brush, use a wooden probe to dislodge the obstruction.
10. Wipe all exterior panels with a cloth dampened with detergent and rinse off any residue with clean
warm water.
11. Clean the Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of water and a
commercial quality foodservice approved detergent.
12. Once the daily cleaning is completed, close the drain valve and pour the frying medium back into the
fryer tank.
HOT OIL WILL BURN - DO NOT RUSH THIS JOB.

NOTE: If fryer usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is carried out
more frequently.
1. Proceed to drain and filter the tank, as shown in 'Daily Cleaning'. Do not refill the tank with frying
medium until the tank has been cleaned as shown below.
2. Fill the fryer with cold water to the normal fill level and add a high quality commercial cleaner that
has been specifically formulated for fryers.
All purpose cleaners are not recommended
.
NOTE: Never use a caustic or lye solution, as this will leave a fat destroying film on the tank.
3. Ensure that the elements are lowered into the tank. Switch ‘ON’ the power and heat the water to
approximately 80-90°C.
4. Clean the fryer baskets at the same time by immersing them in the cleaning solution. Allow the
fryer to soak for 5-10 minutes or as directed on the cleaner instructions. Remove the baskets and
switch ‘OFF’ the fryer.
5. Scrub the baskets and fryer tank lightly, but vigorously with a stiff nylon bristle brush to remove any
remaining deposits. DO NOT use a wire brush, as this will scratch the sides of the tank.
6. Empty the fryer and rinse thoroughly with water. Use a 1 part vinegar to 15 parts water solution to
rinse the tank and neutralise any cleaner residue. If this proves unsuitable for the cleaner being
used, use a weaker solution of up to 1 part vinegar to 25 parts water.
7. Rinse the tank thoroughly with water, drain and dry.
8. Refill the tank with new filtered frying medium.

This section provides an easy reference guide to the more common problems that may occur during the
operation of your equipment. The fault finding guide in this section is intended to help you correct, or at
least accurately diagnose problems with your equipment.
Although this section covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter a problem not
covered in this section. In such instances, please contact your local authorised service agent who will
make every effort to help you identify and resolve the problem. Please note that the service agent will
require the following information:-
Model Code and Serial Number of the appliance. (both can be found on the Rating Plate
located on appliance).
Frying Medium Foaming.
Presence of soap or detergent residue
from cleaning the tank.
Rinse fryer thoroughly three times with clean water.
Ensure fryer is perfectly dry before re-filling with
frying medium.
Excessive breakdown of frying medium. Add fresh frying medium daily to replace contents
every 3-5 days.
Continual frying of food with excess
moisture.
Remove excess moisture from foods to be fried.
Continued overheating of oil. Check thermostat setting. Turn down heat to around
120°C (Standby) when use is quiet.
Overloading. Maintain 1-8 ratio of food to frying medium.
Gumming.
Heating frying medium too rapidly. When charging fryer or starting up, melt frying
medium gradually.
Continued overheating of the frying
medium.
Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or
thermocouple.
Frying oil broken down. Check amount of fresh frying medium added to fryer
to be sure 'turnover' is adequate.
Using wrong cooking frying medium. Some frying mediums form gums when used in a deep
fryer. e.g safflower oil.
Greasy Foods.
Frying at too low temperatures. Increase temperature and check thermostat setting.
Inadequate preparation of food. Be sure foods (especially potatoes) are 'cured'
correctly.
Excessive quantities of breading or
batter.
Remove surplus breading or batter.
Placing food in frying medium direct
from the freezer.
Allow frozen foods to thaw before frying.
Surplus moisture in and on surface of
food.
Drain and dry foods before frying.
Frying medium in advanced stages of
breakdown.
Discard 'old' frying medium and refill fryer with new
frying medium.
Use of dripping or other unrefined oil. Due to low smoking point, cooking in these oils at
lower temperatures will result in greater oil absorption
by the food.
Using the wrong kind of cooking oil. Always use a completely refined and deodorised
cooking oil.
Inadequate frying oil turnover. Adjust procedures to fry more food in fryer to increase
turnover.
Rapid Oil Breakdown.
Oil overheating. Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or
thermocouple.
Contamination. Filter or strain the oil daily.
Poor cleaning procedures. Clean fryer daily or at least once a week and rinse
thoroughly. Dry fryer before use.
Presence of copper or brass in the fryer
equipment.
Remove all copper or brass fittings from contact with
the oil.
Overloading the fryer. Maintain 1-8 ratio of food to frying oil.
Food excessively moist. Drain and dry the food before frying.
Oil overheating on ‘Standby’ mode. Reduce temperature of frying oil between 93°C during
idle (‘Standby’) periods.
21
NOTE: Excessive usage of oil is an indication of high absorption of oil into the food. This is a
function of temperature and character of the goods being fried - NOT due to type of oil
being used (unless refined oils are being used). Any variation in the apparent life of the oil
is always due to one or more of the causes mentioned above.
Oil Smoking.
Insufficient turnover of oil. Maintain a minimum quantity of oil in fryer for more
rapid turnover or increase the quantity of food fried in
fryer. Replace with fresh oil every 3 to 5 days.
Continual frying with excess moisture on
food.
Drain foods before frying, pat food dry.
Contamination of oil. Filter or strain daily to remove contaminants.
Overheating of oil. Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or
thermocouple.
Rapid breakdown of oil. Use a stable frying oil.
Use of unrefined oils. Dripping smokes at lower temperature than refined
and deodorised oils.
Darkening of Oil.
Presence of salt on the food. Salt foods after frying and away from the fryer.
Foods dipped in batter high in egg yolk. Reduce egg content of batter, replace part egg with
milk.
Contamination of oil. Filter or strain the oil daily to remove contaminants.
Poor cleaning practice. Clean fryer at least weekly or each day in cases of
heavy usage. Ensure fryer is perfectly dry before use.
Overheating of oil. Check thermostat setting with a thermometer or
thermocouple.
Insufficient oil turnover. Top up daily to replace the contents of fryer in 3 to 5
days.
Cooking foods with high sugar levels. At the end of the season, potatoes are usually high in
reduced sugars. When fried, they will darken quickly
and colour the oil.
22
Elements do not Heat Up.
Check mains power is supplied to the unit
and that a circuit breaker or fuse has not
tripped / blown.
Check element is flat and that the tilt
microswitch is closed.
Check thermostat setting is correct and
that control knob is set to 'ON' position.
Turn ‘On’ power. Reset circuit breaker or
replace blown fuse.
Adjust microswitch so that the microswitch
is activated when element is fully down in
the flat (cooking position).
Replace the thermostat.
Call service provider.
Over-Temperature Thermostat Cuts
Out.
Over-temperature thermostat faulty.
Control thermostat not maintaining set
temperature.
a. Thermostat out of calibration.
b. Thermostat does not open on
temperature rise.
Thermostat opens on temperature rise but
electrical contactor does not respond.
If overtemp cuts out below 220ºC, replace
over-temperature thermostat.
Call service provider.
Check continuity through thermostat leads,
on temperature rise. If circuit does not
open, replace the thermostat.
Call service provider.
Check electrical connections are correct.
