GENERAL INFORMATION
General Installation:
1. Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use
(see “General Cleaning Instructions”).
2. Check rating label for your model designation &
electrical rating.
3. For best results, use stainless steel countertops.
4. Attach legs to unit.
General Operation Instructions:
1. All food service equipment should be operated by
trained personnel.
2. Do not allow your customers to come in contact
with any surface labeled “CAUTION HOT”.
3. Where applicable, never pour cold water into dry
heated units.
DESCRIPTION
Electric Fryers:
These electric units are designed for countertop
operation. They are used for producing evenly cooked,
perfectly fried products.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC FRYER OPERATION MANUAL
1. Follow General Installation Instructions on previous
page.
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 to move unit.
For testing, see the wiring diagrams in this manual for
the rated amperages.
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
Checking Thermostat Calibration:
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 temperature
to which the dial is set.
1. To check compound frying temperatures when recalibrating, use a precision test instrument, or a good
grade mercury thermometer. Fill the tank half way
between the MAX and MIN marks on the tank.
NOTE: These values are nominal ratings. Field wire
connections must be capable of withstanding
anticipated surges.
Installing personnel should be guided by National
Electrical Code NFPA Number 70- (Latest
Edition), and applicable local codes.
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 15 degrees of the control knob
setting (350°F +/- 15°F). If re-calibration is required,
continue with steps 6, 7, 8 and 9.
6. Remove control knob by grasping outer edge and
pulling straight out, without twisting or turning.
Figure 1
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 counterclockwise for higher temperature. Each 1/4 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.

OPERATING
NOTICE
HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC FRYER OPERATION MANUAL
Removing Fry Tanks
(Fry tanks equipped with drain are not to be removed):
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.
MAINTENANCE
Fill Fry Tank:
1. Fill the fry tank half way between the MAX and
MIN marks on the tank with approximately 15 lbs.
of liquid or melted frying compound. Do not fill
past the MAX.
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 on fry tank bottom.
6. Both the lifting out and lowering of elements can
be done in one swing, without stopping at the
intermediate position.
3. Use a quality frying compound.
4. Filter the frying compound frequently, at least once
a day.
5. Skim out food particles frequently with the
strainer/skimmer.
This fryer is not equipped with a melt cycle
option. Air holes caused when packing 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
the MIN mark on the tank. For proper operation
of the fryer and good frying results, the frying
compound level should be maintained.
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 less is correct. If foods are taking
longer to fry than the chart shows, or are not
browning, over-loading is a probable cause.
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.
5
CLEANING
CAUTION
HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC FRYER OPERATION MANUAL
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 allow unit 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. Strain
the frying compound into a clean container.
D. Replace empty fry tank, lower elements to rest
inside the tank.
E. Add water to the “MAX” mark on tank.
F. Add any good grade of cleaner, following
cleaning instructions.
Use only non-abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners
could scratch the finish of your unit, marring
it’s appearance and making it susceptible to
dirt accumulation. Do Not use steel wool, other
abrasive cleaners or cleaners/sanitizers containing
chlorine, iodine, ammonia or bromine chemicals
as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and
glass material and shorten the life of the unit.
L. Lift out the fry tank and drain. Repeat steps J
& K with fry tank.
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 ruin frying 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 nonabrasive cleaner may be used.
G. Turn the thermostat to 250°F and let 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 unit off 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.
