Reset Thermostat
If the bottom red light was activated it just needed to be reset for this side to start working again.
Make sure there is oil in the pans, then turn the fryer on as normal keep the door open, if the red lights are active then press the red button beside it.
You should feel and hear a click.
If you do not hear and feel a click, but the red light goes out, but activates again when you release the button , then press and hold in the red button for about 30 seconds, if it does not reset then you need to arrange an engineer to visit.
