Unpacking
Receiving the Fryer
Upon receipt, check for freight damage, both visible and concealed. Visible
damage should be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery and signed by
the carrier's agent. Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage, which
does not become apparent until the merchandise has been unpacked. If
concealed loss or damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a written
request for inspection by the carrier's agent within 15 days of delivery. All
packing material should be kept for inspection. Do not return damaged
merchandise to Star Manufacturing. File your claim with the carrier.
Location
Prior to un-crating, move the fryer as near its intended location as practical. The
crating will help protect the unit from the physical damage normally associated
with moving it through hallways and doorways.
Un-crating
The fryer will arrive completely assembled inside a wood frame covered by
cardboard box and strapped to a skid.
Remove the cardboard cover, cut the straps and remove the wood frame.

.
Electrical Connection
Electrical service may be made through a standard 1¼-inch conduit. A hole
should be cut out in one of two locations; the first is behind the unit on the right
side (if looking from the back). It should be made 3” from the side and 3” from the
bottom. The second location is on the bottom back right corner (if looking form
the back). It should be made 2” from the side, and 3” from the back. Check the
National Electrical Code for fuse and circuit breaker requirements.
Fryer Voltage
The Lang Model CL130 can be operated on 440 Volts.

Initial Start Up
PRE-POWER ON
Boil Out Fryer
Ensure the elements are lowered into the fry pot. Fill the fry pot with a mixture of
Vinegar and water (1:10 mix). Fill until the Vinegar and water level is maintained
between the lower and upper fill marks. Heat to 200°F (93°C) and let stand for 30
minutes. After 30 minutes drain water and vinegar mix, (see operation section for
instructions). Be sure to wipe out and dry fry pot to remove any water spots.
Fill levels
There are two fill marks on the sides of the fryer kettle. The lower level indicates the
fill mark with the elements out, the upper level indicates the fill mark when the
elements are lowered. Fill and maintain the oil level between the upper and lower
levels.

Operation
NEVER ENERGIZE THE HEATING ELEMENTS WITH
NO OIL IN THE KETTLE OR WITH THE OIL LEVEL
MORE THAN 3 INCHES FROM THE LOWER FILL
LEVEL.
CAUTIONALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE
FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND
DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY, TO
AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.
Controls
The power switch, located on the control box at the front of the fryer,
energizes the control circuits. When this switch is on, the “power” pilot
lamp will be illuminated.
Turn the temperature selector dial to the desired temperature setting.
This control is located next to the power switch. The “heat” pilot lamp
will illuminate indicating power is applied to the heating elements.
The lamp marked “overtemp” will illuminate if the oil reaches an overtemperature condition. The over-temperature thermostat shuts off the
fryer before the oil reaches a dangerously high temperature.
Heating Elements
The elements may be raised and locked in the up position. The latch is
located on the rear top surface of the fryer and may be activated by
lifting the handle at either side of the fryer.
Draining the Fryer Oil
WARNING ALWAYS TURN THE FRYER POWER SWITCH OFF
BEFORE LIFTING THE HEATING ELEMENTS OUT OF
THE FRYER OIL.BE SURE TO DRAIN THE OIL INTO A
SUITABLE CONTAINER.
A drain valve is provided inside the lower cabinet door.
To drain the cooking oil remove the steel cap from the drain pipe located
at the bottom, lower, front left corner of the fryer. Connect a drain pipe
extension to the drainpipe. Pull the lever located in the front bottom left
corner of the fryer.

Daily Cleaning
WARNING KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF
CONTROLS. NEVER SPRAY OR HOSE
CONTROL CONSOLE, ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS, ETC.
CAUTION MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN,
EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND CLOTHING.
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO WEAR
RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ
THE WARNING AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
ON THE LABEL OF THE CLEANER TO BE USED.
It is recommended the fryer oil be kept as clean as possible by straining regularly (several times a
day) and filtering daily. This will lengthen the life of your oil and improve the performance of the
fryer.
Daily Severe Duty Cleaning
1. Turn power switch off.
2. Remove the baskets, let baskets drain and then set aside.
3. Raise heating elements out of oil and lock in up position.
4. Remove cap from oil drainpipe on bottom of fryer.
5. Place a suitable container under drainpipe.
6. Pull drain valve lever forward to open drain valve.
7. Remove loose food particles from heating units with spatula and wire brush.
8. Flush out scrapings and sediment with a small quantity of hot oil, and allow to drain
thoroughly.
9. Close drain valve and fill with a commercial fryer cleaning agent or soapy solution of
non-corrosive grease dissolving cleaner.
10. Lower heating elements and set selector switch to 250ºF (121ºC) (be sure to read
and follow cleaner manufactures instructions) and boil solution for 15 to 20 minutes.
11. Turn power switch off.
12. Raise heating elements and lock in up position, then drain solution from well. Refill
with water and add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to neutralize alkaline left by soap. Lower
heating elements and bring solution to a boil and let stand for a few minutes.
13. Turn power switch off.
14. Raise heating elements, lock in up position, drain well, and rinse with clear, hot
water. Dry well and heating units thoroughly, and close drain valve.
15. Refill fryer with oil, and lower heating elements slowly.
16. Operate fryer as normal.
Over-Temperature Protection
The over-temperature thermostat located next to the left heating element provides
protection in case of malfunction of the main temperature control. It will open both the
“control contactor” and the “safety contactor” removing all power from the heating
elements.

Maintenance & Cleaning Cont’d
Thermostat Bulb Check
The two thermostat bulbs, (temperature control thermostat bulb and over-temp thermostat
bulb), are all connected to the fryer heating elements. The brackets that hold these bulbs in
place should be checked on a regular basis for tightness. If any of the brackets/bulbs
become loose, the brackets that hold the bulbs should be tightened right awa
Component Access
All maintenance may be done from the front. Opening the front by removing 4 bolts gains
access to all circuitry, with the exception of the thermostat, which is located on the top
where the thermostat knob is located. To gain access to the safety thermostat, the
thermostat, and element terminals remove the 4 screws from the front of the access cover
located above and to the rear of the oil well.
