DeLonghi Fryer pan position?

[Tony Jaques]

Hi there,
I must apologise for a topic that, although in the general
category of "other domestic electrical" is not vintage -
though it is decidedly getting on a bit!

I have a DeLonghi F26200 deep fat fryer. Recently some new
oil dramatically boiled over, and to clean the unit I had no
choice but to completely dismantle it. That is very easy, in
fact too easy as it turns out.
I did make notes, of course, but upon reassembly they have
proved to be not enough! I now know that I should have taken
photographs as well.
The problem is that the angular position of the aluminium
pan in the outer case is critical for correct thermostat
operation. I did not see that coming!
There is a small triangular marker on the pan rim that I
guess should line up with some (unmarked) point on the case
so I am hoping that someone on here happens to have the same
fryer and can tell me where it points. Even better of course
would be a source of the service manual which must include
such information.
The user manual does not include any service information
- not that I would expect it to nowadays, and DeLonghi are
totally unhelpful, not even replying to e-mails. That also
doesn't surprise me. Naturally appropriate recommendations
will be made to friends.
I can position it by trial and error, but it would be so
much easier (and safer!) to have the proper information.
Even if you can't help, thank you for reading through this.
