CLEANING
THE SOLENOID VALVE
The solenoid valve may need cleaning from time to time and has been mounted
in an accessible position for this purpose. To clean the solenoid valve it has to
be dismantled as follows:
* The fryer should be switched off at the 13 amp plug first and moved forward
to give access to the back. The solenoid valve is mounted at the right hand side
of the pot at the rear of the cooker.
* Remove the hexagon nut holding the solenoid in position (14 mm spanner)
and lift off the solenoid coil with cable still attached.
* With a 22 mm spanner unscrew and remove the armature assembly,
be very careful to not lose any parts. Note carefully how the parts fit together
for subsequent reassembly (see solenoid diagram at the back of this manual).
* Clean the individual parts. Wipe the sealing faces with a soft rag or tissue,
check for freedom of movement of the parts and reassemble.
* When cleaning the solenoid valve please also clean the filter. Once you have
removed the nut with spanner (supplied with the fryer) remove the filter mesh.
When cleaned replace in filter and replace nut.
