3-3. CARE OF SHORTENING
3-2. FILLING OR
ADDING SHORTENING The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot
level indicators on the rear of the frypot. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or
damage to the fryer. Less than level will caught fire.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before
placing it in the frypots. The heating element must be
completely submerged in shortening. Fire or damage
to the frypot could result.
1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening
be used in the open fryer. Some low grade shortenings
have a high moisture content and will cause foaming
and boiling over.
Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot
shortening into frypot. Shortening and all metal
parts that are in contact with the shortening are
extremely hot, and take care to avoid splashing.
2. Cold shortening should be filled to the lower indicator
when the frypot has 2 indicator lines,
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO
AVOID SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE
FRYPOT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1. Maintain the shortening at the proper cooking level.
Add fresh shortening as needed.
2. Discard any shortening which has a bad flavor or shows
signs of excessive foaming or boiling. Keep the frypot clean.

WITH PROLONGED USE, THE FLASHPOINT OF
SHORTENING IS REDUCED. DISCARD SHORTENING IF IT SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE
SMOKING OR FOAMING. SERIOUS BURNS,
PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
1. Turn the main switch to the OFF position. Remove and
clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
Best results are obtained when shortening is filtered at the
normal frying temperature
2. Use metal spatula to remove any build up from the sides of
frypot. Do not scrape heating elements on electric models.
Scraping the electric fryer elements，produces scratches in these
surfaces causing breading to stick and burn.
The filter drain pan must be placed all the way to the front of
heating elements. If the drain fills with breading, use
straight white brush to push excess breading into the filter
drain pan.

SHORTENING IS PUMPED UP, IT’S POSSIBLE
THAT THE FILTER CONNECTION AT THE
UNION ON THE FILTER TUBE IS NOT
TIGHTENED PROPERLY. IF SO, TURN
OFF THE PUMP AND WEAR PROTECTIVE
GLOVES OR CLOTH WHEN TIGHTENING
THE UNION. THIS UNION WILL BE HOT.
SEVERE BURNS COULD RESULT.
5. Pull out the pump handle, pump all of the shortening out of
the filter drain pan and back into the frypot. When the pump
is pumping air only, move the pump switch from PUMP to
OFF .
6. Check the level of the shortening in the frypot. Add fresh
shortening if necessary, until it reaches the bottom level
indicator line on the right wall of the frypot.
About 10 to 12 filterings can be made with one filter
paper envelope, depending on:
the quantity and type of product fried and filtered
he type of breading used
the amount of crumbs left inside the filter drain
pan. When the filter screen assembly and filter
paper become clogged, and the pumping flow
slows. Clean the filter screen assembly and
change the filter envelope.
7. To continue cooking, move the main POWER switch to
the ON position, and shortening reheats.
3-5. FILTER PUMP PROBLEM To help prevent filter pump problems:
PREVENTION

3-8. CLEANING THE FRYPOT After the initial installation of the open fryer, as well as before
every change of shortening, the frypot should be thoroughly
cleaned as follows:
1. Turn the main POWER switch off
The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as it
will go. Failure to follow these instructions causes
splashing of shortening and could result in personal
injury.
Moving the fryer or filter drain pan while containing hot
shortening is not recommended. Hot shortening can
splash out and severe burns could result.
Always wear chemical splash goggles or face shield and
protective rubber gloves when cleaning the frypot
as the cleaning solution is highly alkaline. Avoid
splashing or other contact of the solution with your eyes
or skin. Severe burns may result.
Carefully read the instructions on the cleaner. If the
solution comes in contact with your eyes rinse thoroughly
with cool water and see a physician immediately.
2. If hot shortening is present in the frypot, it must be drained.
Leave for a few minutes, then slowly open the valve to full
open position.
3. Close the drain valve. Discard the shortening .
4. Remove the filter screen assembly from the filter drain pan.
The filter union could be hot. Wear protective glove
or cloth, or severe burns could result.
