NOTE: WALDORF 'FAST-FRI' fryers can be used with both oil and shortening.
1. Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve(s) behind the access door is (are) closed.
A locking slide is provided on these valves, this should always be locked in position during use.
OIL - Carefully fill the fryer tank(s) with oil to the lower ‘FILL LEVEL’ mark shown at the rear of the tank.
Set the thermostat to the required operating temperature, the oil will expand as heated and will
reach the upper level marked when the oil is hot (180 - 190°C).
FN8120G fryer will hold 20 litres of oil.
FN8226G fryer will hold 13 litres of oil per tank.
FN8130G fryer will hold 31 litres of oil.
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.
FN8120G fryer will hold 37 lbs shortening.
FN8226G fryer will hold 24 lbs shortening per tank.
FN8130G fryer will hold 46.5 lbs shortening.

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 pre-melting of shortening is not possible, carefully cut the shortening in to small pieces and
pack into the tank.
Light main burners and manually cycle burners On/Off until shortening has liquefied.
Ideally main burners should be cycled On for 5 seconds and Off for 10 seconds. Repeat
cycle until all shortening is melted. Following this procedure should allow shortening to liquefy
gradually without scorching. Once shortening has liquefied, it can be brought up to fryer
operating temperature.
To speed up this process, break up shortening and stir carefully during melting process. Add
more shortening until tank is filled to the level marked on the tank side. Refer to Fig 5 above.
NOTE: Running burners continuously will cause shortening in contact with the tank to overheat,
resulting in premature oil breakdown. Never allow shortening to smoke while melting as
this indicates that the temperature is too high. If shortening starts smoking, increase main
burner 'Off' intervals.

IMPORTANT:
Should any abnormal operation like;
- ignition problems,
- abnormal burner flame,
- burner control problems,
- partial or full loss of burner flame in normal operation,
If any of the above problems are noticed, the appliance requires IMMEDIATE service by a qualified
service person and should not be used until a service is carried out.
15
To achieve the best results, cleaning must be regular and thorough and all controls and mechanical
parts checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly.
Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that the appliance is serviced
every 6 months.
Clean the fryer regularly. A clean fryer looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
NOTE:
DO NOT use abrasive detergents, sharp scrapers, strong solvents 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 below:-
1. At end of each day or at end of each shift, if frying schedule is heavy, frying medium should be
drained and filtered into a receptacle.
2. Always filter fryer when cool zone under burners 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 drain extension pipe onto end of drain valve (see Fig 11)
and position a suitable container and filter under drain extension
pipe.
DO NOT USE FLAMMIBLE SOLVENTS AND CLEANING AIDS ON OR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO FRYER WHILST
FRYER IS STILL HOT.
Fig 11
Drain
Extension
Pipe
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE FRYER WHILST FRYER IS FULL OF OIL.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FRYER, ENSURE THAT ALL THE OIL HAS BEEN DRAINED FROM THE TANK. REFER
TO INFORMATION ON PREVIOUS PAGE, ON HOW TO DRAIN THE OIL FROM THE FRYER.
16
Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift locking slide on valve handle
(Fig 12) to release valve.
b. While holding locking slide in
withdrawn position, rotate handle
anticlockwise (Fig 13) to open valve.
c. When valve is closed, locking slide will
drop down over locking valve to
prevent accidental opening of valve as
shown in Fig.12.
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 tank.
5. Slip a muslin or other suitable filter bag over the end of the drain valve. Crumbs will be caught in
bag but frying medium will strain freely through into receptacle.
6. Open drain valve slowly to minimise splashing, and take care not to overfill container.
7. If necessary, use the drain stick (see Fig 14) to dislodge any
blockages in the drain.
8. When tank has been drained, use a ladle or small pan with a
handle and dip into hot frying medium from container and pour
around sides and bottom of tank to wash out crumbs and
particles adhering to tank.
9. Continue to dip and pour until all crumbs are washed down and into filter bag.
10. Open drain valve fully and check for any particles or crumb residue lodged in valve. Clean out valve
with a stiff nylon brush. Do not use a wire brush as this can damage the valve seating and will
eventually lead to leaking. If obstruction cannot be removed with a brush, use a wooden probe to
dislodge obstruction.
11. Wipe all exterior panels with a cloth dampened with detergent and rinse off any residue with clean
warm water.
12. Clean Control Panel with a damp cloth lightly moistened with a solution of water and a commercial
quality foodservice approved detergent.
13. Once the daily cleaning operation is completed, close drain valve and pour frying medium back into
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 for 'Daily Cleaning'. Do not refill tank with frying medium until
it has been cleaned as shown below.
2. Fill fryer with cold water to 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. Heat water to approximately 80-90°C.
4. Clean fryer baskets at the same time, by simply immersing them in cleaning solution. Allow fryer to
soak for 5-10 minutes or as directed on cleaner instructions. Remove baskets and turn Off main
burners.
5. Scrub baskets and fryer tank with a stiff nylon bristle brush to remove any remaining deposits. DO
NOT use a wire brush, as this will scratch the tank sides.
6. Empty fryer and rinse thoroughly with water. Use a 1 part vinegar to 15 parts water solution to
rinse tank and neutralise any cleaner residue. If this proves unsuitable for cleaner being used, use a
weaker solution of up to 1 part vinegar to 25 parts water.
7. Rinse tank thoroughly with water, drain and dry.
8. Refill tank with new filtered frying medium.

To achieve the best results, cleaning must be regular and thorough. All controls and mechanical parts
should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service person. If any small faults occur, have
them attended to promptly. Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown. It is recommended that
the appliance is serviced every 6 months.
18
Frying medium foaming.
Presence of soap or detergent
residue from cleaning 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 140°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 frying
medium.
Check oil temperature by using 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 frying medium. Some frying mediums form gums when used in
a deep fryer. e.g safflower oil.
Greasy foods.
Frying at too low a temperature. 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 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 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 food.
Using wrong kind of cooking oil. Always use a completely refined and deodorised
cooking oil.
This section provides an easy reference guide to the more common problems that may occur during
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 appliance, which can be found on the Rating Plate
located on the inside of the access door.
19
Rapid oil breakdown.
Inadequate frying oil turnover. Adjust procedures to fry more food in fryer to
increase turnover.
Oil overheating. Check oil temperature by using a thermometer
or thermocouple.
Contamination. Filter or strain oil daily.
Poor cleaning procedures. Clean fryer each day 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 oil.
Overloading fryer. Maintain 1-8 ratio of food to frying oil.
Food excessively moist. Drain and dry food before frying.
Overheating oil on ‘Standby’ mode. Turn control to Pilot position during idle
(‘Standby’) periods.
Oil smoking.
Insufficient turnover of oil. Maintain a minimum quantity of oil in fryer for
more rapid turnover or increase 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.
Oil overheating. Check oil temperature by using 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 food after frying and away from 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 oil daily to remove contaminants.
Poor cleaning practice. Clean fryer at least once a week or each day in
cases of heavy usage. Ensure fryer is perfectly
dry before use.
Overheating of oil. Check oil temperature by using a thermometer
or thermocouple.
Insufficient oil turnover. Top up daily to replace contents of fryer in 3 to
5 days.
Cooking foods with high sugar levels. Potatoes are usually high in reduced sugars at
the end of a season. When fried, they will
darken quickly and discolour the oil.
NOTE: Excessive oil usage is an indication of high absorption of oil into 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 apparent life of oil is always due to
one or more of the causes mentioned above.
