Description
The Digimark 12L Gas Deep Fryer (DGM-F1524) is a commercial-grade appliance that uses Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to heat oil for deep frying. It works by combusting gas through burners to heat an oil reservoir, allowing for rapid temperature recovery and high-volume cooking.
Operating Mechanism
– Gas Combustion: The unit connects to an LPG cylinder. When ignited, gas burners located beneath or within the tank (often tube-style) transfer intense heat to the oil.
– Convection Heating: As the oil heats up, natural convection currents circulate the hot oil throughout the 12-litre tank to ensure even cooking.
– Temperature Control: A digital thermostat monitors the oil temperature, typically between 60°C and 200°C. It automatically adjusts gas flow to maintain the set temperature.
– Cold Zone Technology: Features a “cold zone” at the bottom where food particles collect. This area stays cooler to prevent crumbs from burning, which extends the life of the oil.
Usage Steps
– Preparation: Ensure the unit is on a stable, heat-resistant surface and the drain valve is closed.
– Filling: Fill the tank with oil to between the MIN and MAX level marks.
– Ignition: Turn the control knob to the ‘Pilot’ position, press and hold it to release gas, and use the built-in spark to light the pilot flame.
– Heating: Once the pilot is stable, turn the knob to ‘ON’ and set the desired temperature on the thermostat. Wait roughly 6–10 minutes for the oil to reach the target temperature.
– Frying: Place food in the baskets (filling no more than 1/2 to 2/3 full) and lower them slowly into the oil to prevent splashing.
– Shutdown: Turn the thermostat and gas valve to ‘OFF’ and close the main gas supply on the cylinder.
Key Safety Features
– High-Limit Switch: A safety thermostat automatically cuts off gas flow if the oil temperature exceeds a safe limit (around 230°C) to prevent fires.
– Flame Failure Device: If the pilot light goes out, the system is designed to stop gas from flowing into the burner.
– Heat-Resistant Handles: The frying baskets are equipped with plastic-coated handles to prevent burns during operation.
– 6 month warranty
