Post, in prominent locations, instructions to
be followed in the event that the user smells
gas. This information can be obtained from
your local gas supplier.
Make sure a restraining
device is used that
complies with the Standard for
Commercial Gas Ranges, ANSI Z83.11/
CSA 1.8 to guard against transmission of
strain to the gas connectors.
Failure to restrain the
fryer could allow it to
move, causing hot shortening to spill

5 - PRE-COOKING PREPARATION
O-RING LUBRICATION
Lubricate filter pan riser line O-ring and
cover O-ring with cooking oil (see COVER
instructions one through three under
CLEANING.
COVER CHECK
To OPEN cover, push down on cover handle
then rotate handle clockwise. Slide assembly to the rear of the unit. To CLOSE, pull
assembly toward the front and rotate handle counterclockwise.
• Always fully rotate handle OPEN or
CLOSED.
• Never use force to OPEN cover. OPEN
only when no pressure is present in the
cooking well.
• If cover will not OPEN easily, be sure
pressure regulating valve is OPEN. If
cover will still not OPEN, turn cook/filter
switch OFF. DO NOT operate unit until it
has been serviced by an authorized
Broaster Company representative.
COOKING OIL
The words “oil” and “shortening” are used
to describe a high quality cooking medium
manufactured for deep frying.
Check oil level before
turning cook/filter switch
to COOK.
Use care when handling
hot oil. Oil could splash
causing serious burns.
Fill cooking well using one of the following
methods:
Liquid Oil:
Use Broaster® liquid oils or a high quality
liquid oil manufactured for deep frying.
Solid Shortening: (Any cooking medium
that is solid at room temperature)
DO NOT heat solid short-
ening on a stove or other
appliance prior to placing in cooking
well. Hot shortening could splash causing serious burns.
DO NOT leave unit unattended when
melting solid shortening. HOT OIL LEVEL
must be maintained. Solid shortening
must be soft enough to be packed
around and completely cover heating
elements on the 1600/1800E and sides
and bottom of cooking well on the
1800GH. If not, there will be places on
heating elements and cooking well not
covered with shortening. During the
heating period, these bare spots will be
hot spots. They could discolor the cooking well, damage a heating element
scorch or burn shortening, reducing its
useful life.
broaster.com Manual #14679 2/99 Rev 3/14

OIL LEVEL
FOOD AND CONDIMENTS
Close drain valve. Fill cooking well with oil
approximately 1/2” below HOT OIL LEVEL.
Oil will expand when heated.
Be sure hot oil is at HOT
OIL LEVEL. Be sure top
heating element is covered before turning cook/filter switch to COOK.
Make sure the food you purchase is high
quality. For best results, chicken should be
fresh, trimmed for portion control and uniform in size.
A wide variety of Broaster® Company
monosodium glutamate-free condiments
are available. They have all been tested for
the best possible results in the unit. By
