IL/SHORTENING REQUIREMENTS

The ASF-75G requires 73-pounds (33 kg) of oil or shortening in the frypot and the ASF-60G 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 lowering the temperature of the fryer to 250°F (121°C) whenever the fryer is not being used. This is an automatic program function through the control program designation of

OIL /S H ORT EN I NG

LEV ELS

“IdleMode.” The factory default is set at

a period of 30 minutes of non use before triggering a temperature decrease, however; this time period can be adjusted between “0” and “60” minutes. (

BOIL-OUT SOLUTION AND SURROUNDING METAL SURFACES BECOME EXTREMELY HOT. TO AVOID BURNS, ALWAYS USE HAND PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING THE BOIL-OUT FUNCTION AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BOIL-OUT PRODUCT BEING USED.

C A U T I O N

BEFORE ENTERING THIS PROGRAM, MAKE CERTAIN THE FRYPOT IS EMPTY OF ALL OIL OR SHORTENING.

C A U T I O N

TO AVOID DAMAGING THE PUMP AND CONTAMINATING CLEAN OIL WITH BOIL-OUT CHEMICAL ON UNITS EQUIPPED WITH A FILTRATION SYSTEM, NEVER ALLOW BOIL-OUT SOLUTION OR RINSE WATER TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE FRYER PUMP SYSTEM OR FAT DRAWER.

C A U T I O N

DO NOT LEAVE THE FRYER UNATTENDED DURING THE BOIL-OUT PROCESS. THE FRYER MUST BE CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED FOR BOIL-OVER CONDITIONS, PARTICULARLY IN HIGH-ALTITUDE LOCATIONS. IF BOIL-OVER IS IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY TURN THE MASTER POWER SWITCH OFF AND ALLOW THE SOLUTION TO COOL. WHEN THE SOLUTION HAS COOLED, RE-ENTER THE BOIL-OUT MODE.

NOTE: Perform an initial Boil-Out to clean and

sanitize the fryer 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: 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.

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 16-17.)

NOTE: Initial access to the programming mode

must start with the control in the “OFF”

position.

2. Open the front access door. With the Kettle/Nozzle selector in the “KETTLE” position, rotate the drain valve clockwise until rotation stops and the drain valve is “CLOSED.”

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

NOTE: Make sure the inside of the frypot, the

rain opening and all parts that come

d into contact with new oil/shortening are as dry as possible.

14. Wipe the exterior of the fryer cabinet with a degreaser/sanitizer suitable for use on food contact surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and/or mixing directions for proper solution strengths.

Wipe exterior stainless steel surfaces with the grain of the metal and avoid the use of abrasive pads, steel wool, or metal implements.

15. Replace the oil filter if equipped with filtration system. (See instructions on pages 15-17.)

16. Fill tank with new oil or shortening.

12. There may be residual boil-out solution in the oil fill

hole and tube. This must be flushed out and discarded separately before filling the tank with new oil to avoid contamination of new oil.

13. Following the boil-out and rinse procedure, wipe dry all accessible interior metal surfaces and interior accessories with a clean, dry cloth to remove any remaining rinse solution. Clean and dry the fry baskets separately.

BEFORE STARTING THE APPLIANCE, MAKE CERTAIN YOU DO NOT DETECT THE ODOR OF GAS.

IF THE ODOR OF GAS IS DETECTED:

• DO NOT attempt to light any appliance.

• DO NOT touch any electrical switches.

• Extinguish any open flame.

• Use a telephone OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY & IMMEDIATELY contact your gas supplier.

• If unable to contact your gas supplier, contact the fire department.

2. Assure all local electrical codes, fire codes, and all other requirements such as hood installation have been met in the process of installation.

3. Open front access door and insure drain valve is in the

“CLOSED” position. The handle should be rotated clockwise until it stops.

alpha/numeric display will indicate “MELT-CYCLE.” It is recommended to allow the fryer to complete the "Melt Cycle" when using solid shortening; however, if liquid shortening is used the "Melt Cycle" may be bypassed by pressing Temperature Key for 3 seconds.

8. After fryer has reached the factory-set oil temperature of 350°F (177°C) or the temperature set by the operator, product can be fried.

9. More detailed operating guidelines along with information on presets and other options are located within this manual.

10. For fryer “Shutdown” press the Power Key on the main control panel to the “OFF” position. Then turn the Master Power Switch located behind the front access door to the “OFF” position.

NOTE: FOR YOUR PROTECTION the fryer is

furnished with a hi-limit safety shutoff that will disengage the control if the oil temperature in the frypot would ever exceed 432°F (222°C). In this event, the oil temperature must be allowed to decrease to 375°F (191°C) before restarting the appliance. After allowing the oil temperature to decrease, open the front access door and press the RESET BUTTON for a period of 3seconds to restart the control.

6. Both “LED” displays on the control panel will indicate “OFF” when the Master Power Switch is initially turned to the “ON” position.
