User manual WHIRLPOOL AGB 518/WP INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] 18/10 chrome-nickel steel outer panelling and tanks. The oil is heated by burners in stainless steel (2 per tank), built to withstand thermomechanical stress. The pilot burner has has adjustable injectors. The combustion chamber and flues are made of electro-galvanised steel sheeting. [. . . ] The correct volume will be the value of “E” expressed in litres per hour (It/hr) or litres per minute (It/min). The following formula is used to calculate the value of “E”: Testing the power rating Use the specific nozzles for the rated output (see table 1 in assembly instructions). The following are the operating pressure tolerances to obtain the nominal power according to the agreed nozzles: - from 15 to 22. 5 mbar for gases of the second family; - from 25 to 45 mbar for gases of the third family (propane). E= Capacity Heat value Capacity should only be measured when the appliance is at a standstill. 049- 03 - Gas fryers 7 2 2 3 1 19 16 21 17 The heat value can be obtained from your local Gas Board. To obtain the nominal capacity in relation to the nominal pressure, consult table (1) (Gas Flow Setting). - Draw up a servicing and maintenance contract. Note for the installer - Explain and demonstrate to the user how the machine works according to the instructions and hand him this manual. - Remind the user that any structural alterations to the room housing the appliance may affect the combustion air supply. Once the alterations have been completed, the appliance and its functions should be thoroughly checked. WARNING It is not possible to adjust nominal capacity in advance. Checking power rating when using LP gas Check that the type of nozzles used match manufacturer's specifications. Check that the pressure reducer installed on the appliance has an outlet pressure in compliance with paragraph "Testing the power rating", page 7 (see data plate or measure the pressure). Running the appliance on other types of gas When changing to another type of gas, e. g. from natural to LP, or to another gas group, consult the “TECHNICAL DATA” table to determine the correct nozzles to use. The nozzles for the main burners for different types of gas, marked in 100ths of mm, are in a case supplied with the appliance. When the appliance has been transformed or adapted, recheck its functions as described in paragraph "Checking the functions". Checking the pilot light When correctly adjusted, the pilot light flame will completely surround the thermocouple and will not flicker; if it does, turn the pilot flame adjusting screw (37 - Fig. 1) Checking the primary air The appliances are fitted with primary air adjustement. Air flow volume is correct when there is sufficient protection against the flame becoming detached when the burner is cold or flare-back when it is hot. Replacing the main burner nozzle (Fig. 1) To change nozzle (30), loose the fixing screws holding the control panel in place. 11 wrench, unscrew the nozzle from the nozzle holder; replace with a new nozzle (see “TECHNICAL DATA” table). To make changing the nozzle easier, loosen screw (39) to push the air adjustment sleeve back. After fitting the nozzle, reset primary air distance “A” (see “TECHNICAL DATA” table). Checking the functions - Start the appliance in accordance with the instructions; - Check the gas tubes for leaks; - Check that the flame on the main burner lights properly and is correctly formed; - Check that the pilot light is correctly regulated; 049- 03 - Gas fryers 8 Adjusting the pilot burner (Fig. 1) To get at the pilot burner, remove the control panel (as previously described). Unscrew nut (34) and using a screwdriver adjust the by-pass. - Old and dirty oil or frying fat can represent a real fire hazard; make sure only new oil or frying fat are used each time you start frying. - The food you intend to fry should always be dry; wet food causes the oil to foam and overflow. - Frying excessively large quantities of food at a time also causes the oil to foam; never exceed 0, 8 kg. - If the level of oil in the bath falls below the low level mark stamped on it, the risk of fire will increase. [. . . ] If the appliance is extremely dirty, use a synthetic sponge such as Scotchbrite. After cleaning the appliance, rinse with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. To make cleaning easier the basket support may be removed. After cleaning, make sure the device is replaced correctly. [. . . ]
