Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure the fryer is completely disconnected from the power supply. The El264 is compatible with Lincat DF33 and DF66 models. When installing, use the 4 fixing holes to securely bolt the mounting plate to the fryer chassis. Always check that the gasket is seated correctly to prevent oil leaks. To prolong the life of the element, ensure that it is fully submerged in oil whenever the unit is powered on; running the element while dry or partially exposed will cause it to burn out rapidly. Regularly clean the element during oil changes to remove carbon buildup, which can act as an insulator and reduce heat efficiency.
