Fault Possible Cause Remedy
Frying medium foaming. Presence of soap or detergent
residue from cleaning the tank.
Rinse the 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 setting of the thermostat. 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 the thermostat setting by using a
'Mercury In Glass' 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.

surface of food.
Drain and dry foods before frying.
Frying medium in advanced
stages of breakdown.
Discard 'old' frying medium and refill the
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 absorbtion by the food.
Using the wrong kind of cooking
oil.
Always use a completely refined and
deodorised cooking oil.
