heck the quality of the oil/shortening in the frypot

The fryer requires 73-pounds (33 kg) of oil or

hortening in the frypot. Use only quality,

s high-grade oil/shortening in the fryer. The high

oisture content of many lower grade shortening

m 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.

C 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.

BASIC CONTROL

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.

2. Assure all local electrical codes, fire codes, and

all other requirements such as hood installation

have been met in the process of installation.

NOTE: Because each fryer station is controlled

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

3. Open front access door and ensure drain valve is

closed. The handle should be rotated clockwise

until it stops.

4. Fill frypot with frying compound as indicated.

10. To shut the fryer station down, turn the Master

Power Switch located behind the front access

door to the “ O F F” position.

NOTE:

OUR

station is furnished with a hi-limit

safety shutoff that will disengage

the control if the frying compound

temperature in the frypot would

ever exceed 415°F (213°C). The

L E D will display “H i ” , the heat

will shut off, the timer will be

cancelled, and a constant alarm will

sound. In this event, allow the

frying compound temperature to

drop below 415°F (213°C). Open

the front access door and press the

OIL HI-LIMIT RESET button for a

period of 3-seconds to restart the

control.

BOIL-OUT 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.

Before entering this program, make certain the frypot is empty of all oil or shortening. Close the frypot drain. Carefully follow the manufacturer's mixing directions and fill the frypot with a mixture of cold water and fryer boil-out solution.

NOTE: Manual Boil-Out can only be performed

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

1. Close the D R A IN . The handle should be

rotated clockwise until it stops.

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.

. Turn the Master Power Switch (located within the

front access door) to the “O N ” position.

4. Wait until the L ED reads “ H EA t ” , then

press the BO I L O U T button on the

control panel.

5. When 192°F (89°C) is reached, the LE D will

display “ b O IL ” and that temperature will be

maintained. Using a separate timer, allow the

frypot to boil-out for 10 minutes.

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 occurs, immediately turn the Master Power Switch located behind the front access door to the “OFF” position and allow the solution to cool. When the solution has cooled, re-enter the boil-out mode.

6. Turn the Master Power Switch located behind the

front access door to the “ O FF ” position.

7. Attach the drain pipe and direct into a

heat-resistant container.

8. Open the D RA I N . The handle should be

rotated counterclockwise until it stops.

9. Allow the boil-out solution to completely drain.

Discard boil-out solution.
