OPERATION of Spiral Fry™

First disengage the DRIVE LEVER by lifting it off the DRIVE SCREW and letting it hang down from the SUPPORT ROD. Pull back on CRANK until the back face of the DRIVE PLATE mounted on the rear of the DRIVE SCREW strikes the face of the stand. Push the large diameter end of the product onto the fingers of the DRIVE PLATE and then push product, drive plate and crank forward until CENTER SCREW is embedded in the product. Engage DRIVE LEVER by placing it over the DRIVE SCREW. Then turn CRANK clockwise until product is completely processed. Disengage DRIVE LEVER, pull DRIVE SCREW back, remove product heel and repeat the process.

Note: For best results, place a hand lightly on the DRIVE LEVER while turning the crank. When the DRIVE LEVER rises, stop cranking; lift the DRIVE LEVER and pull the CRANK and DRIVE SCREW back to accept the next product. Do not continue to crank after the DRIVE LEVER rises.

SPIRAL FRY, RIBBON FRY, & WAVY FRY COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Your new Spiral Fry is an excellent machine made of quality Stainless Steel, Aluminum and Engineered Plastics. This machine will be one of the most profitable pieces of equipment in your kitchen. The quality of the potatoes served is directly related to the selection of the potato, how it is stored, how it is prepared, how it is cooked and when it is served.

There are two methods of preparing your potato. One is to cut and cook to order. The other is to cut your potatoes in quantity in advance, store or blanch, and then cook to order.
