OIL/SHORTENING REQUIREMENTS

The ASF-75E requires 73-pounds (33 kg) of oil or shortening in the frypot and the ASF-60E requires 62-pounds (28 kg) of oil or shortening. Use only quality, high-grade oil/shortening in the fryer. The high moisture content of many lower grade shortening will result in excessive foaming and boil over. The cold oil/shortening level requirement for the fryer is indicated below.

NOTE: ALWAYS maintain the proper level of

shortening by adding fresh oil/shortening to the frypot whenever needed.

Check the quality of the oil/shortening in the frypot on a daily basis for signs of deterioration. Use an approved test kit. Signs of shortening deterioration include excessive boiling, smoking, foaming, bad taste, and rancid odor. Discard any shortening before it degrades to the point of affecting product quality. Always filter the oil on a regular basis and keep the frypot clean.

Remove ice crystals and ensure that food is dry before frying. Excessive water and ice can cause oil to splatter or overflow. Do not over fill the basket. Food needs to be surrounded by oil for best frying results.

Maximum shortening life is achieved by turning the fryer stations off when not in use. In multiple-station units, heat only the component fryers necessary to meet cooking needs.

NOTE: Perform an initial Boil-Out to clean and

sanitize the fryer station before operating.

Carbonized deposits along with an accumulation of oil will eventually build-up on the interior of the frypot as well as fryer accessories. It is important to periodically remove these deposits, not only to maintain fryer efficiency, but also to provide the highest product quality.

NOTE: Because each fryer station is controlled

separately, the following procedure must be followed for every component fryer in multiple-station units.

NOTE: Manual Boil-Out can only be performed

when the actual temperature of the frypot is less than 230°F (110°C).

1. After emptying the fryer of oil or shortening, remove filter cartridge from unit if equipped with a filtration system. (See filtration instructions on page 19.) Close the DRAIN. The handle should be rotated clockwise

until it stops.

NOTE: Always wear eye protection or a face

shield and protective rubber gloves when cleaning the frypot as boil-out chemical is an alkaline solution and can cause severe burns.

2. Fill the fryer to the maximum oil fill line with a mixture of cold water and fryer boil-out solution. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s directions for mixing the boil-out solution.
