CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General Installation Requirements
Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section
1.7 of this manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment.
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual.
Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as de­fined in Section 1.7 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise service this equipment will void the Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.
Where conflicts exist between instructions and information in this manual and local or nation­al codes or regulations, installation and operation shall comply with the codes or regulations in force in the country in which the equipment is installed.
DANGER Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil being installed beside an open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage Claim Procedure in Chapter 1.)
2.1.1 Clearance and Ventilation
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6” (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed adjacent to combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adjacent to noncombustible construction. A minimum of 24” (600 mm) clearance should be provided at the front of the fryer.
WARNING
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean Service Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.
2-1
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure the fryer is installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen ventilation system does not produce drafts that interfere with burner operation.
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its flue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer, causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes delayed ignition. To provide the airflow necessary for good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and unobstructed.
DANGER This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in the room in which it is installed.
Fryers must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate distances must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45º. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96 states, “A minimum distance of 18 in. (450 mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the grease filter.”
Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24 in. (600 mm) from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
For installations in the United States, information on construction and installation of ventilating hoods can be found in the NFPA standard cited above. A copy of the standard may be obtained from the National Fire Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
2.1.2 National Code Requirements
The type of gas for which the fryer is equipped is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the fryer door. Connect a fryer stamped “NAT” only to natural gas, those stamped “PRO” only to propane gas, and those stamped “MFG” only to manufactured gas.
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes, and, where applicable, CE codes. Quick-disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national, local, and, if applicable, CE codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform to the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation code, CSA B149.1, as applicable including:
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected form the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2-2
2.1.3 Electrical Grounding Requirements
All electrically operated appliances must be grounded in accordance with all applicable national and local codes, and, where applicable, CE codes. In the absence of local codes, the appliance must be grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. All units (cord connected or permanently connected) should be connected to a grounded power supply system. A wiring diagram is located on the inside of the fryer door. Refer to the rating plate on the inside of the fryer door for proper voltages.
DANGER This appliance is equipped with a special (grounding) plug for your protection against electrical shock, and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded re­ceptacle. Do not cut, remove, or otherwise bypass the grounding prong on this plug!
DANGER
This appliance requires electrical power for operation. Place the gas control valve in the OFF position in case of a prolonged power outage. Do not attempt to operate this appliance during a power outage.
2.1.4 Australian Requirements
To be installed in accordance with AS 5601, local authority, gas, electricity, and any other relevant statutory regulations.
If casters are fitted, the installation must comply with AS5601 and AS1869 requirements.
2.2 Caster/Leg Installation
Depending upon the specific configuration ordered, your fryer may have been shipped without installed casters or legs. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT CASTERS OR
LEGS. If the appliance requires the installation of casters or legs, install them in accordance with the instructions included in your accessory package.

O
1. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the gas line connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the fryer is in use. The restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with the flexible hose in the accessories box that was shipped with your unit.
DANGER Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single fryer. The fryer may become unstable, tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible material at all times.
2. Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch then adjusting
them so that the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood. Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the hood be 24 in. (600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour. NOTE: There are no built-in leveling devices on fryers equipped with casters. The floor where the fryer is to be installed must be level.
3. Test the fryer electrical system:
a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a grounded electrical receptacle.
b. Place the computer switch in the ON position. Verify that the display indicates MLT-
CYCL.

NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Doing so may allow some of the compound to enter the gas stream, resulting in clogging of burner orifices and/or the control valve.
2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A
soap solution should be used for this purpose.
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water or oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line at
the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer described in the “Lighting Instructions” topics found in Chapter 3 of this manual.
DANGER “Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing your unit.

2.5 Converting to another Gas Type
DANGER This appliance was configured at the factory for a specific type of gas. Converting from one type of gas to another requires the installation of specific gas-conversion compo­nents. Conversion instructions are included with conversion kits.
Switching to a different type of gas without installing the proper conversion components may result in fire or explosion. NEVER ATTACH THIS APPLIANCE TO A GAS SUPPLY FOR WHICH IT IS NOT CONFIGURED!
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by qualified, licensed, and authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual.
OCF30™ Series gas fryers manufactured for non-CE countries use different burners for each type gas. The burners in fryers built for Propane gas have a special gray-colored coating on the burner tiles to enable them to withstand the higher caloric value of the Propane gas. Burners designed for use in propane units may be used in natural gas applications, but not vice versa.

a. Change the orifices. b. Adjust the manifold pressure.
3. Remove the old rating plate and return to Frymaster. Affix the new rating plate included with the conversion kit in place of the old rating plate stating the gas has been converted.
4. If the destination language changes, replace the rating plate. Call your local service agency or KES for a label kit. The language of reference will be on the corner of the label.
2.6 Positioning the Fryer
1. Once the fryer has been positioned at the frying station, use a carpenter’s level placed across the top of the frypot to verify that the unit is level, both side-to-side and front-to-back.
To level fryers, adjust the casters being careful to ensure the fryer(s) are at the proper height in the frying station.
When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided by the KES to limit its movement so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the connection. Install the re­straints in accordance with the provided instructions. If the restraints are disconnected for service or other reasons, they must be reconnected before the fryer is used.
DANGER Hot oil can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid spills, falls, and severe burns. Fryers may tip and cause personal injury if not secured in a stationary posi­tion.
DANGER Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated pip­ing to limit the appliance movement.

Refer to Chapter 5 of this manual for operating instructions for the built-in filtration system.
3.2 Equipment Setup and Start-Up Procedures
WARNING The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
CAUTION The cooking oil capacity of the OCF30™Series gas fryer is 32 lbs. (3.8 gallons/14.5 liters) at 70°F (21°C) for a full-vat.
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve(s) is/are closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
3.2.1 Setup
WARNING Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with wa­ter or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may cause a fire.
DANGER Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING The OCF30™ Series gas fryer is NOT intended to use solid shortening. Use only liquid shortening with this fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the top off oil lines.
3-2
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bot­tom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face
of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
3.2.2 Lighting the Fryer
1. Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the ON position and program the controller for normal
cooking temperature.
3. If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds.
Repeat step 2.
4. The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF
(82ºC). (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burners will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) When the frypot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit will au­tomatically switch to the full heat mode. The burners will remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature. On CM 3.5 equipped fryers the display changes to LOW TEMP until within 15°F of the setpoint. Then the display changes to product or dashed
lines. On the 3000, once the fryer reaches setpoint, the controller display changes to DROP and the fryer is ready for use.
Answer YES to EXIT MELT?
To exit the melt cycle on the 3000, press and hold the EXIT COOL button.
5. After the burners have been lit for at least 90 seconds, observe the flames through the burner
viewing ports located on each side of the combustion air blower.
3-3
Left Viewing Ports are
behind the motor
housings.
Right Viewing Ports
The optimum burn is a bright orange-red glow. If a blue flame is observed, or if there are dark spots on a burner face, adjust the air gas mixture as follows: On the side of the blower housing opposite the motor is a plate with a locking nut. Loosen the nut enough to allow the plate to be moved, then adjust the position of the plate to open or close the air intake opening until a bright orange-red glow is obtained. Carefully hold the plate in position and tighten the locking nut.
3.3 Shutting the Fryer Down
For short-term shut down during the workday, place the controller ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and put the frypot covers in place (if the fryer is so equipped).
When shutting the fryers down at closing time, filter the oil and clean the fryers. Place the controller ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Then place the gas valve in the off position. See illustration below.
Put the frypot covers in place (if the fryer is so equipped).
3-4
3.4 Optional Oil Attendant™ Automatic Top-Off
When the Oil Attendant™ top-off oil system is in place on the fryer, oil is continually topped off in the frypots from a reservoir in the cabinet. The reservoir holds a 35 pound box of oil. In a typical operation this will last approximately two days before changing. Components of the system are annotated at the right (see Figure 1).
NOTE: The system is intended to top off the frypots, not fill them. The frypots will require manual filling upon startup and after disposal.
3.4.1 Prepare the System for Use
Once the fryer is positioned under the hood install the JIB cradle shipped in the accessories pack (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
3.4.2 Install the Oil Reservoir
Remove the original lid from the oil container and foil liner. Replace with the provided cap, which has connected suction hardware. Ensure the feeder tube from the cap reaches to the bottom of the oil con­tainer.
Place the oil container inside the cabinet and slide it into place (as shown on the following page). Avoid catching the suction hardware on the cabinet interior as the container is placed in the fryer.
The system is now ready for operation. As the fryer heats to preprogrammed temperatures, the system will energize and then slowly add oil to the frypot as needed, until the oil reaches an optimal level.
3.4.3 Routine Oil Changes
When the oil reservoir level is low, the controller displays TOPOFF OIL EMPTY in the left display and CONFIRM in the right display. Press S (CONFIRM).
Some procedures may differ from photos
shown. Follow manufactures instructions for changing the JIB.

4.7 Multiple Setpoint (Segmented) Cooking Overview
The 3000 is capable of multiple setpoint (segmented) cooking, a feature which allows a cooking cycle to be broken into a number of parts, each with its own cooking temperature and time.
An abbreviated version of the programming for a 13-minute cook cycle with four cooking temperatures is shown below. Steps are compressed for clarity. The cook times represent when on the timeline of the total cook cycle the segment occurs. In this example, the first temperature change occurs with 11 minutes remaining in the total cook time; 11 is entered at the prompt for the second cook time. Two minutes into the total cook cycle, the temperature will change;11 minutes will remain. Cook times for the remaining segments are arrived at by subtracting the segment length from the remaining cook time. The complete programming steps are shown on pages 10 and 11.
Step 1sets total cook time and initial setpoint.
Step 2 sets the duration of the first cooking segment, 2 minutes, and the setpoint of the first
temperature change.
Step 3 sets the duration of the second cooking segment, 4 minutes, and the setpoint of the
second temperature change.
Step 4 sets the duration of the third cooking segment, 3 minutes, and the setpoint of the third
temperature change.
The four remaining minutes in the cook time elapse at the final temperature. No entry is required to
use the final minutes

4.9 Filter Menu
WARNING The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
DANGER Draining and filtering of oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.
DANGER Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for disposal.
DANGER Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid overflow and spillage of hot oil.
DANGER When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located on the container.
The 3000 has five Filter menu options: Filter, Clean and Filter, Dispose, Fill Vat from Bulk (Bulk option only) and Boil Out (only in OFF mode). All are accessed by pressing and holding the Filter button until the display becomes Filter Menu. If fryer is not at set point controller displays wait for filter. The controller must be on and at setpoint for Filter and Filter and Clean.

CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
5.1 Preparing the Built-In Filtration System for Use
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. The FootPrint Pro filtration system is available in three different configurations:
Filter Paper – includes crumb tray, large hold-down ring, and metal filter screen.
Filter Pad – includes crumb tray, small hold-down ring, and metal filter screen.
Section 5.1.1 covers preparation of the Filter Paper and Filter Pad configurations for use. Refer to Section 5.1.2 for instructions on preparing the Magnasol Filter configuration for use. Operation of all three configurations is the same and is covered in section 5.3. Disassembly and reassembly of the Magnasol filter is covered in section 5.4.
5.1.1 Preparing the Built-In Filtration System for Use with Filter Paper or Filter Pad
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. The FootPrint Pro filtration system uses a filter paper configuration which includes a crumb tray, large hold-down ring, and metal filter screen.
1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet and

the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay a sheet of filter paper on top of the screen, overlapping on all sides (see Figure1). If using a filter pad, ensure the rough side of the pad is up and lay the pad over the screen, making sure that the pad is in between the embossed ridges of the filter pan.
4. Position the hold-down ring over the filter paper and
lower the ring into the pan, allowing the paper to rest on the sides of the filter pan (see Figure 3).
5. When the hold-down ring is in position, if using filter
paper, sprinkle one packet of filter powder evenly over the paper. (See Figure 4)
6. Replace the crumb tray in the filter pan, then push the
filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the drain.
5.1.2 Preparation for Use with the Magnasol Filter Assembly
1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet

5.2 Filtration
A 3000 controller prompts the user when to filter on the OCF30™ fryer. After a preset number of cook cycles the controller displays filter now? alternating with YES NO. Follow the
instructions on page 4-12. If NO is selected or a cook cycle is started, the controller will prompt again soon to filter the oil.
On demand filtration is used to manually start a filter. See page 4-11 for the filter menu.
The fryer MUST be at setpoint temperature for any filtration operation to start.
Note: Do NOT filter multiple vats simultaneously.
5.2.1 Operation of the Filter
DANGER Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering cooking oil.
DANGER NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil from the fryer with the burners lit! Doing so will cause irreparable damage to the frypot and may cause a flash fire. Doing so will also void the Frymaster warranty.
1. Ensure that the filter is prepared. See Section. 5.1.
2. Make sure the oil is at operating temperature.
3. When prompted, drain the frypot into the filter pan by rotating the drain valve handle 90º (see
Figure 7). If necessary, use the Fryer's Friend clean-out rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot.
Open drain valve by rotating 90º. (Handles may differ from photo.)
Figure 7
DANGER Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
5-3
DANGER NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DANGER DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4. After the oil has drained from the frypot
and when prompted, rotate the filter handle towards the I” to start the pump and begin the filtering process. There may be a slight delay before the pump
Rotate filter handle to activate pump. (Position of handle may differ from photo.)
activates (see Figure 8).
Figure 8
5. The filter pump draws the oil through the filter medium and circulates it back up to and through
the frypot during a filter.
6. After the oil is filtered, close the drain valve when prompted and allow the fryer to refill. Let the
filter pump run 10 to 12 seconds after the oil begins to bubble. Turn the filter off.
7. Ensure the drain valve is fully closed. (If the drain valve is not fully closed, the fryer will not
operate.)
8. Turn the filter off when prompted. The computer displays OFF when finished.
WARNING The filter pump is equipped with a manual reset switch in case the filter motor overheats or an electrical fault occurs. If this switch trips, turn off power to the filter system and allow the pump motor to cool 20 minutes before attempting to reset the switch (see photo below).
Filter Pump Reset Switch
5-4
WARNING Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when resetting the filter pump reset switch. Resetting the switch must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless maneuvering around a drain tube and around a frypot.
DANGER The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
WARNING Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.
5.3 Disassembly and Reassembly of the Magnasol Filter Dissassembly
1. Grasp the frame with your thumbs on the handles at the corner of the assembly and pull outward
in opposite directions to separate the frame at the corner. Continue to open the frame (it will pivot at the opposite corner) until the outer screens and grid can be removed from the frame.

5.4 Draining and Disposing of Waste Oil
When cooking oil is exhausted, the oil must be drained into the filter pan, SDU or other appropriate METAL container for transport to the disposal container or if a bulk oil system is installed, use the
bulk oil disposal system by selecting DISPOSE from the filter menu if the fryer is equipped with a 3000(see page 4-13) and follow the prompts and instructions for disposing oil to the bulk oil system.
(For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil, Frymaster recommends the use of the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) for JIB systems. The SDU is available through your local distributor.) NOTE: If using an SDU built before January 2004 the filter pan cover must be removed to allow the unit to be positioned beneath the drain. To remove the lid, lift up on the front edge and pull it straight out of the cabinet. Refer to the documentation furnished with your disposal unit for specific operating instructions. If a shortening disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to
cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain the oil into a METAL stockpot or similar METAL container.
5-6
DANGER Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.
DANGER Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate METAL
container for disposal.
DANGER When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located on the container.
1. Turn the computer power switch to the OFF position.
2. Position a METAL container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The METAL
container must be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids.
3. Follow the instructions for disposing of oil on page 4-13 if equipped with a 3000. Open the
drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.
DANGER NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DANGER DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4. After draining the oil, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot. BE CAREFUL,
this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
5. Ensure the drain valve is closed securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking
oil to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
