NOTE: WALDORF 'Deep 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 and this should always be locked in position during use.
2. Ensure that the elements are pivoted into the operational (horizontal) position.
OIL - Carefully pour cold oil into the fryer tank(s) until the tank is filled to the lower level marked 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).
The FNL8127 single tank fryer will hold 27 to 29 litres of oil.
The FNL8224 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 FNL8127 single tank fryer will hold 22 - 23kg of shortening.
The FNL8224 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 pre-melting of shortening is not possible, carefully cut the shortening into small pieces and pack below, all around and
above the elements, ensuring that the element can be fully lowered to operate the element tilt microswitch otherwise the
fryer will not operate.
Set the tank control thermostat to 120°C and switch ‘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 2 above.
NOTE: Running the elements continuously will cause the shortening in contact with the elements to overheat, resulting in
premature oil breakdown. Never allow the shortening to smoke while melting as this indicates that the temperature
is too high. If the shortening starts smoking, increase the ‘Off’ intervals of the elements.

1. The temperature used for frying food is the most important aspect of fryer operation. Incorrect temperatures will result in
poor product quality and will reduce the life of the oil / shortening.
2. The temperature can be set from 60°C to 200°C, although we do not recommend any food to be cooked above 190°C.
3. To set the operating temperature simply turn the thermostat to the desired setting and allow the frying medium to reach the
desired temperature before cooking the food.
4. The elements will operate automatically to maintain this temperature.
5. Turn the fryer to a lower temperature when there is no food being cooked. (Approximately 140°C). Any frying medium will
break down faster if held for long periods at high temperature without frying food.
6. The WALDORF FNL8224E / EE Fryers feature a split tank allowing distinctive products to be cooked in individual pans and at
different temperatures. This allows products to be fried separately to prevent flavour contamination between products and
allow products to be cooked at their optimum frying temperature.
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 fryers (FN8224E / EE) have 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’.
13
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
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. A build up of grease on the surface will
hinder the transfer of heat from the cooking surface to the food. This will result in loss of cooking efficiency.
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 have 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 the burners / 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 drain extension pipe onto end of drain valve (see Fig 3) 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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE FRYER WHILST FRYER IS FULL OF OIL.

Opening the Drain Valve
a. Lift locking slide on valve handle (Fig 4) to
release valve.
b. While holding locking slide in withdrawn position,
rotate handle anticlockwise (Fig 5) 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.4.
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. 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.
8. Rotate the elements to the vertical (Cleaning) position
(Fig 6) and continue to dip and pour until all crumbs are
washed down and into filter bag.
9. 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 valve seating and will eventually lead to leakage.
10. Rotate the elements back to the horizontal (Operating)
position (Fig 7).
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 fryer tank.
HOT OIL WILL BURN - DO NOT RUSH THIS JOB.

NOTE: If the fryer usage is very high, we recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure is carried out on a more frequent
basis.
1. Proceed as for 'Daily Cleaning' to drain and filter the tank. Do not refill the tank with frying medium until it 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 simply 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. Use a weaker solution of up to 1 part vinegar to 25 parts water if this proves unsuitable for
the cleaner being used.
7. Rinse the tank thoroughly with water, drain and dry.
8. Refill the tank with new filtered frying medium to the correct level as shown in the Operation section - ‘Filling the Tank(s)’.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
a. With the tank(s) drained, cleaned and dried as shown above, clean the exterior surfaces of the fryer with hot water, a
mild detergent solution and a soft cloth.
b. Dry all components thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
c. To remove any discolouration, use an approved stainless steel cleaner or stainless steel wool. Always rub in the direction
of the grain.
NOTE: All maintenance operations should only be carried out by a qualified service person.
To achieve the best results cleaning must be regular and thorough and 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.

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 appliance. (both can be found on 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 absorbtion
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.
Overheating of oil. 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 fryer. Maintain 1-8 ratio of food to frying oil.
Food excessively moist. Drain and dry the food before frying.
Overheating oil on ‘Standby’ mode. Reduce temperature of frying oil to 140°C during idle
(‘Standby’) periods.
17
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 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.
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 microswitch is
activated when element is fully down in the
flat (cooking position).
Replace 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 thermostat cuts out below
220ºC, replace overtemp thermostat.
Call service provider.
Check continuity through thermostat leads,
on temperature rise. If circuit does not
open, replace thermostat.
Call service provider.
Check electrical connections are correct.
If correct, replace contactor.
