IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has
assumed responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If equipment is received damaged, either apparent
or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
A) Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. It must then be signed
by the carrier representative (Driver). If this is not done, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier can
supply the necessary forms.
B) Concealed damage or loss if not apparent until after equipment is uncrated, a request for inspection
must be made to the carrier within 15 days. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all
contents and packaging material.
Installation and start-up should be performed by a qualified installer who thoroughly read, understands and
follows these instructions.
1.Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use (see “General Cleaning Instructions”).

2. DESCRIPTION
Electric Fryers:
These electric units are designed for countertop operation. They are used for producing evenly cooked,
perfectly fried products.
3. INSTALLATION
1.Follow General Installation Instructions on previouspage.
Screw legs into the permanently fastened nuts on the four corners of the unit and tighten by
hand. Level the fryer by turning the adjustment screw at the bottom of each leg. Do not slide unit with
legs mounted, lift if necessary tomove unit.
For testing, see the wiring diagrams in this manual for the rated amperages.
NOTE:
These values are nominal ratings. Field wire connections must be capable of withstanding
The fryer thermostat is carefully calibrated at the factory so that dial settings match actual frying compound
temperatures. Field re-calibration is seldom necessary unless the unit has been mishandled in transit or
abused. Re-calibration should not be resorted to unless considerable experience with cooking results
definitely proves that the control is not maintaining the temperatureto which the dial is set.
1.To check compound frying temperatures when re-calibrating, use a precision test instrument, or a
good grade mercury thermometer. Fill the tank half way between theandmarks on the
tank.
2.Frying compound temperature should be checked at the center of the tank, approximately 1” to
1 1/2” below surface of frying compound.
3.Turn the dial of the thermostat being checked to the 350°F mark.
4.Allow temperature to stabilize, or until the thermostat cycles to “OFF” three times after starting
with cold frying compound. With power “ON”, read highest and lowest frying compound
temperature, as thermostat cycles through at least two cycles.Average the reading.
5.Thermostat should be re-calibrated if temperature reading is not within 10 degrees of the
control knob setting (350°F +/- 15°F). Ifre-calibration is required, continue with steps 6, 7, 8 and9.
6.Remove control knob by graspingouter edge and pullingstraight out, without twisting or turning.
7.Hold thermostat dial shaft “B” (Figure 1) stationary with pliers, and with a screwdriver, turn screw “A”
clockwise to obtain a lower temperature; or counter-clockwise for higher temperature. Each ¼ turn
(90° rotation) of screw “A” represents 18°F.
8.Replace thermostat control knob.
9.Recheck thermostat as in Steps 4 and 5 above. If the fat temperature is not within 20 degrees of dial
setting (350°F +/- 20°F), it means that the sensing element is inoperative and the thermostatic
control should be replaced.

5. OPERATING
Removing Fry Tanks:
1.Remove fry baskets.
2.Carefully grasp the element handle. CAUTION: May be hot. Pull out the head lock on the left of the
head.
3.Lift the element handle while at the same time, pulling the head lock. This will permit lifting the
elements to just above frying compound level in tank. The element can be left in this position for
draining frying compound.
4.Again, lift the element handle while pulling the head lock, until the elements lock themselves at a
higher position.
5.Firmly grasp both handles of fry tank and lift it out. After replacing the fry tank, simply pull the head
lock; and at the same time, pull down the element handle until the elements rest onfry tank bottom.
6.Both the lifting out and lowering of elements can be done in one swing, without stopping at the
intermediate position.
6. MAINTENANCE
Filling Fry Tank:
1.Fill the fry tank half way between theandmarks on the tank with approximately 15 lbs. of
liquid or melted frying compound. Do not fill past the.
NOTE:
solid frying compound into the fryer can cause hot spots on the heating element sheath,
resulting in momentary overheating of some of the frying compound and premature frying
compound breakdown. It can also damage the heating elements. If it is necessary to use
solid frying compound, it must be melted before adding to fry tank.
Turn the thermostat to the desired frying temperature. The yellow “HEAT ON” light will stay
on until the temperature set on the thermostat is reached, then the light cycles off. The fryer
is now ready to begin frying. After a load has been fried, do not lower the next load into the
frying compound until the “HEAT ON” light cycles off.
2.Do not let the frying compound level drop below themark on the tank. For proper operation of
the fryer and good frying results, the fryingcompound level should be maintained.
3.Use a quality frying compound.
4.Filter the frying compound frequently, at leastonce a day.
5.Skim out food particles frequently withthe strainer/skimmer.
6.Add at least 15% (of fry tank capacity) of fresh frying compound daily, (more if possible) without
overloading the tank. If 15% of the frying compound is not used during frying, remove some of the
frying compound for other use (gravy, griddle frying,etc.) to permit adding fresh frying compound.
7.Do not overload the fry baskets. Approximately half-full or even less is correct. If foods are taking
longer to fry than the chart shows, or are not browning, over-loading is a probable cause.
This fryer is not equipped with a melt cycle option. Air holes caused when packing

8.Prepare the food properly.
9.Keep salt out of the frying compound. Do not salt foods with the basket above the kettle.
10.Assure a good thermostat operation.
11.Keep the fry tank and elements clean.
7. CLEANING
1.The frequency of cleaning should depend on the load conditions. Set a definite cleaning schedule
corresponding to how hard the kettle is used. Cleaning should be done at least once a week.
A.Turn the thermostat to “OFF” and allowunit to cool down.
B.Lift the elements to drain position. Wire brush or scrape elements to remove any solids
adhering to the elements.
C.Raise the elements. Lift out fry tank. Strainthe frying compound into a clean container.
D.Replace empty fry tank, lower elements to rest inside the tank.
E.Add water to themark on tank.
F.Add any good grade of cleaner, following cleaning instructions.
G.Turn the thermostat to 250°F andlet the heating unit bring the solution to a boil.
H.Boil long enough to loosen or dissolve all varnish or carbon deposits, approximately 30
minutes.
I.Turn the unitoff and lift out the elements to drain position.
J.If necessary, clean the thermostat bulbs using a long-handled fiber or plastic brush and mild
soap solution.
K.Rinse with clean water to remove all cleaning mixture.
L.Lift out the frytank and drain.Repeat stepsJ&Kwithfrytank.
M.Rinse the inside of the tank with 2 cups of vinegar.
N.Rinse with clean water until the vinegar odor is gone.The fry tank must be thoroughly rinsed,
since even a trace of cleaner left inside the tank will ruinfrying compound.
O.Dry thoroughly. Replace the tank and lower the elements.
P.Shut the unit off and cover tank until ready for further use.
Q.Thin films of oil subjected to frying temperatures quickly form into a gummy consistency. In
order to avoid these gum formations, keep all other surfaces of the unit clean by polishing
stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. To remove discolorations or oil film, a non-
abrasive cleaner may be used.
