A manual gas shut-off valve shall be installed when the appliance is connected to the gas supply.
The rating plate is located inside of the left side panel.
The connecting wiring diagram is located on the lower inside of the left side panel.
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1NFPA54, or the Natural and Propane Gas Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable, including:
1. The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5KPa).

When installing the pressure regulator - remember it can only handle 1/2 PSI. In
every LPG installation, you have high source pressures, ranging from 20 PSI to 100
PSI. If the high pressure gas line from the LPG tank is directly connected to the unit
without the proper step-down regulator, it will rupture the diaphragm in the valve,
rendering it useless.

FRYING WITH SHORTENING
The type of fat that you use in frying inuences many qualities of the nished product such as avor, texture, shelf life and nutritional
attributes. How often you use the fryer – and the temperature that you cook at - will determine how long the fryer oil can be used
– most can last up to 100 hours.
Depending on the menu and local eating patterns, fryers will usually be operated at full capacity for a few hours a day, intermittently
for a few hours and be idle the reminder of the time. Operating a fryer on an intermittent basis is the primary reason that frying oil
must be discarded and replaced periodically. During the idle and low production periods, the oil is subjected to thermal and oxidative
stress more than it is during the active frying process. If fryers were operated without interruption and oil was ltered regularly, frying
oil would rarely need to be discarded.
Oil and shortening are two types of fat that are typically used in commercial deep fryers. Shor tening comes in tubs or bricks and
quickly melts down to a liquid for frying purposes – however, it is not used as much now, because it is high in calories and fat. Healthier
fry oils like vegetable, canola, and the like are more commonly used in restaurants.
When deep fat frying, remember to never operate the fryer with the tank empty. The burners used in fryers are very powerful –
mainly to quickly heat the oil and to help recover heat during the cooking process. This power can damage a fryer tank, because the
metal of the tank – which is usually cooled by the oil – expands and this expansion could stress and fracture the welds.
So, the tank must be lled with water or cooking oil/shor tening before lighting the burners. The bottom line is that failure to do so
will damage the tank and may even cause a re.
To deep fry with shortening, always start with an empty and/or cleaned-out tank and melt the shortening on the stove - carefully
pouring it into the tank. That way, you can be sure the shortening is in full contact with the fryer tank metal – eliminating the potential
of weld fracture from dry ring.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WEEKLY CLEANING
1. Shut down the fryer by turning the thermostat and pilot valve to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the restraining device before moving the appliance for cleaning and servicing.
3. Drain the fryer into a ltered pan or steel container. Flush out sediment at the bottom of fr yer with liquid oil.
4. Close the drain valve and ll the vessel with a mixture of boil-out solution and water.
5. Relight the pilot and turn on the burners.
6. When the solution starts to boil, turn off the thermostat and let the vessel
soak to soften deposits and/or carbon spots. Approximately one hour.
7. Drain off the solution, scrub the insides with brush and rinse thoroughly.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 if necessary.
9. Wipe dry with soft towels and rell with oil/shortening.
10. Re-connect the restraining device after returning the appliance to its originally installed position.
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS - Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners or powders to clean Stainless Steel surfaces. All
Stainless Steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water during the day and a Stainless Steel cleaner at end of the day.
To remove encrusted materials, soak in hot water to loosen the material - then use a wood or nylon scraper.
WARNING
WARNING
All water must be removed before adding oil or shortening. Not doing so can
result in splattering of hot oil causing severe burns and burn hazard.
DO NOT DRY-FIRE; operating the unit without liquid is an extreme re hazard
and will cause irreparable damage such as gas leaks, scorched surfaces and burnt
components.
WARNING
1. Do not dry re the fryer; this will cause a leak. Dry ring is typically done after cleaning when the end user wants to dry
out the tank the "easy" way. It is a major cause of tank damage in the industry.
2. Do not drain the oil while it’s hot; wait until it cools before emptying. Rapid change in temperature causes stress
fractures and tears at the seams.
3. Do not use acidic cleaners; use only boil-out solution. Acid can cause erosion to metal and in due time can cause a leak
in the tank.
4. Solid shortening must be liqueed before lling the tank. The tank walls must have liquid against it in order to transfer
heat and avoid overheating and stressing the metal to the point of a tear.
5. Do not rinse off a hot tank with cold water. Always allow it to cool rst.
6. Do not use sharp tools to clean the fryer.
7. Keep your tank clean. Check for debris buildup at the bottom of the tank, and never allow too much build-up to occur.
