Top Tips for Using Caterlite Fryer Spare Parts & Accessories
When installing new heating elements, ensure you disconnect power completely and allow the fryer to cool thoroughly first. Clean contact points with a light wire brush for better electrical connections. For thermostats, apply a small amount of heat-conductive paste to improve temperature sensing. Always test your repair with a small batch of food before returning to full service, and keep your fryer maintenance manual handy during installation for quick reference.
