Automatic Lift Fryer Introduction
Specific Precautions
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers
guidelines for the life cycle of oil/shortening.
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure.
Serious burns may result.
Follow operator instructions regarding effects of surge boiling of over-wet foods
and proper load size.
This unit may incorporate components that contain Mercury. The use of Mercury
relays is an industry standard.
Equipotential ground plane
n a high current flows through a conductor, differences in potential appear
Whe
between the conductor and nearby metallic surfaces near the appliance. As a
result, sparks may be produced between the appliance and surrounding metal
surfaces. These sparks could cause serious injury, damage, or fire.
BKI provides an Equipotential ground terminal for the connection of a bonding
conductor after the installation of the appliance per lEC60417-1. This terminal is
located on the inside of the Power Entry Supply box near the Earth connection
and is marked with this symbol.
Full Disconnection

approved cord and plug combination will meet this requirement.
Units not provided with a cord and plug do not meet this requirement. In
accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide

Safe Work Practices
Keep The Casters Locked
To avoid spilling shortening, keep the casters locked. If any
shortening spills near your fryer, clean it up immediately.
Noncombustible Floors Only
Make sure your floor is noncombustible. Do not operate your fryer
on floors that are wood, carpeted or have rubber mats.
Placing your fryer on a combustible floor could cause a fire.
Serious injury could result.
Examples of noncombustible floors where you can safely
place your fryer are concrete, tile, and ceramic.
Keep The Area Around Your Fryer Uncluttered
Make sure to keep the area around your fryer clear of any
obstacles.
Serious injury can occur if you trip or fall near the fryer. You could
be burned by hot shortening that splashes out of the fryer or by
falling against the hot metal of the fryer.
Keep The Floor Around Your Fryer Clean Of Shortening
Make sure to keep the floor around your fryer clean of shortening
and other liquids.
Serious injury can occur if you slip near your fryer. You could be
burned by hot shortening that splashes out of the fryer or by falling
against the hot metal of the fryer.

Automatic Lift Fryer Introduction
Do Not Overfill The Fryer With Shortening
Hot shortening and steam may escape and burn you if you put too
much shortening in the fryer. Fill the fryer to approximately one inch
below the fill marks that are inside the fryer pot. Heat the
shortening. If needed, carefully add more shortening to bring the
level to the fill marks.
Do Not Let Any Water Get Into The Fryer
Always remove excess moisture from food before placing it into the
fryer basket. Water will cause the hot shortening to spatter. You
could be burned.
Do Not Overload The Basket With Food
Hot shortening and steam may escape and burn you if you place
too much food in the basket.
Wear Safe Clothing Appropriate To Your Job
Always wear your insulated mitts when handling the fryer basket or
touch any hot metal surfaces. You received a pair of insulated mitts
with your fryer. If you lose or damage your mitts, you can buy new
ones at your local restaurant equipment supply store or from your
local BKI Distributor.
Always wear non-skid shoes when working around the fryer or any
other equipment that uses shortening. Never wear loose clothing
such as neckties or scarves while operating your fryer. Keep loose
hair tied back or in a hair net while operating your fryer.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the
filtering process to guard against possible injury from hot oil.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the
boil-out process to guard against possible injury from hot cleaning
solution.
