What is the difference between a Turbo SF® and a Frytastic® fryer?
Turbo SF®:
In addition to a Cold Zone, these fryers are equipped with a patented double heating element. We call this Turbo SF®. The advantages of the double heating element are:
- Up to 50% faster frying
- Crispier and less fatty fries, so healthier
- Faster, so also more energy efficient
- Use of solid grease is possible, thanks to the unique grease melting position.
Frytastic®:
The Frytastic® deep fryer is also equipped with the Turbo SF® system, and offers the following extras:
- Digital control with exact baking temperatures
- Pressure-turn-control
- Automatic switch-off after 2 hours and in case of error detection
- Audible signal
ready
- Illuminated display
- Electronically controlled grease melting function
Can I put the lid on the deep fryer while frying?
An anti-dust lid only serves dust-free storage of the deep fryer. Under no circumstances should this anti-dust cover be placed on the fryer during heating, baking and cooling. The oil must always be completely cool.
A filter lid may be placed on the fryer during heating, baking and cooling.
There is smoke coming from the fryer. What could it be?
Wrong or too old or damaged
oil.
- Wrong oil: Not every oil is suited to use heated
- Too old oil: Outdated frying oil or already too much fried with
- Damaged oil: Certain ingredients make frying oil instantly useless like herbs (paprika, parsley, ...), bacon, onion, ...
- Replace the oil in all of the case above.
Not enough frying oil.
- Please respect the min. level in the tub. It is indicated in the tub with a line and the word MIN next to it.
- Top up the oil above the minimum level.
When can the fryer boil over?
- The frying oil contains a lot of water: alimentations consist of water for a great deal. This goes as well for fresh products as for frozen ones. Fresh potatoes consist for 75% of water.
During the first frying session they lose about 65% of this water, which means that this water ends up in the oil, where it sinks to the bottom (Cold Zone). The Cold Zone however warms up slightly and reaches 100°C. At that moment the water turns into steam which has a lower specific weight than water. Hence your oil may start bubbling and boiling over. Our patented Turbo SF® System precludes the phenomenon of dangerous splashes under the condition of normal use of your fryer.
HINT: Always dry off your fries thoroughly before frying them
HINT: Shake off frozen fries in a sieve first to remove excess ice. - The frying oil is due for replacement: if the oil is (too) dirty it can also start bubbling or boiling over. Replace the oil in that case. It doesn`t suffice to partially add clean oil.
- The frying basket is too full: the quantity of fried goods that fits in your fryer is determined by the volume of your fryer. We recommend you never exceed more than 150 grams of fried goods per liter capacity.
What to do when your fryer stopped working?
To avoid bringing your appliance to your retail store unnecessarily check the following 4 things yourself first:
- Is the appliance mounted correctly?
Behind the housing there are two sliding brackets. They are vertical synthetic brackets that connect the housing to the control panel. If the control panel isnt applied correctly on the sliding brackets the fryer won
t work. This is for your own safety. - Has your fryer jumped to safety?
For your safety the fryer turns itself off sometimes. The fryer can however be put into operation again by pressing the RESET button. This RESET button is located at the back in the cable storage and is red. - Does the tub fit ok?
The tub needs to be placed in the housing with the side with the notch faced to the control panel. - Are the sliding brackets intact?
One of both sliding brackets has a stop pin that puts the fryer into action electronically every time you mount it. If this stop pin has broken the fryer will not work. In that case contact your retail store with the details of your fryer (purchase date, fryer model, production date, ...). These details are retrievable in the cable storage at the backside of the fryer.
How do I clean the fryer?
For starters remove the power plug from the electrical outlet and let the fryer cool down completely before dismounting the fryer. First remove the basket, then the control panel with heating element and finally the tub.
NEVER plunge the control panel in water or any other liquid. Only cleanse it with a moist towel.
Depending on the material of the fryer the parts may or may not be cleaned in the dishwasher:
- Stainless steel fryer: stainless steel housing, lid, tub can be cleaned in the dishwasher or of course in hot soapy water.
- Synthetic fryer: synthetic housing and lid, stainless steel tub can be cleaned in the dishwasher or of course in hot soapy water.
- Lacquered metallic fryer: this material may NOT go in the dishwasher. Only clean with hot suds. In the dishwasher there could be decolouring as a result of aggressive detergents.
The frying basket can be cleaned in hot soapy water with a dishwashing brush. Never let the basket soak in the soapy water in order to avoid oxidation.
To clean your fryer easily, quickly and safely we recommend using the FRITEL cleaner for fryers. Fill the tub of the fryer with hot water over 40°C and add about 10 caps of FRITEL cleaner for fryers. Let the product work for about 20 minutes and empty the tub afterwards.
Rinse thoroughly and dry off with a soft cloth. Your tub looks as good as new! The FRITEL cleaner for fryers is based on natural enzymes and therefore it is environmentally friendly, bio-degradable and NON-toxic. The FRITEL cleaner for fryers can also be used on all surfaces, i.e. lacquered metal, synthetics, stainless steel...
