CLEANING

Daily Maintenance

Do not unplug the fryer and always make sure the fryer is turned off Do not touch heater module, oil vat or oil unless you are sure it has cooled

1) Wipe basket with paper towel to remove crumbs and food particles

2) Wipe crumbs, oil and any other food m at ter fr om insi de of drawer

using a paper towel

3) Clean outside of fryer with a good stainless steel cleaner and wipe

dry

4) Lubricate rails of shovel and bottom of drawer using an approved

food grade grease or silicone lubricant

Do not clean the outside or any other stainless steel part using abrasive cleaners

5) Check oil level on the back of vat to make sure it is up to cold line (at

room temperature). If not, add oil as necessary. Replace the cooking oil once a week or more often if necessary. Use a COMMERCIAL

GRADE DEEP FRY COOKING OIL.

Weekly Maintenance

Do not unplug the fryer and always make sure the fryer is turned off Do not touch heater module, oil vat or oil unless you are sure it has cooled

1) Open front panel by lifting and turning latches. Remove drawer parts and wash in soap

and hot water. Rinse well in hot water and dry.

CLEANING (Contin ued )

3) Attach oil hose and drain cooking oil from vat into

containers for disposal. Have empty containers handy for proper disposal of used cooking oil. A rendering company can help with proper disposal.

4) Remove basket lift, oil vat and heater module

(picture right). Spray parts with oven cleaner, enclose with plastic bag for at least one hour or leave overnig ht if possi bl e. Wash in soap and hot water and rinse well in hot water. Rinse parts in a solution of: 1 part white vinegar [5% acetic acid] and 2 parts water. The vinegar rinse is very important. It neutralizes soap residue that causes oil breakdown foaming. Soap residue turns oil dark and reduces its performance significantly. Clear water rinse parts. Clean the male and

female terminals on connectors with rubbing alcohol and cotton swab.

The heater box must NOT be immersed in water or other liquid. Do not spray male connector

5) Remove spill tray and drain any oil that has accumulated.

Wash in soap and hot water. Rinse well in hot water and dry.

MINIMIZE THE MOISTURE

MAXIMIZE THE PROFIT

TIPS ON DEEP FRYING

Great Food in Less Time

•

Use premium quality commercial deep frying oil. Canola and Soybean oils are recommended. Do not use household cooking oils from your local supermarket. Poor quality oils may shorten the life of the air filter cartridge.

• Keep food frozen until ready to fry. Frozen product will absorb less oil during the

cooking process.

• Remove ice from food. Ice results in excess bubbling and spillage of oil out of the

vat.

• Minimize the moisture. Excess moisture extends the

cooking time. Water, ice, sugar and breading all contribute to shortening the life of the oil.

• Try to reduce the amount of breading that falls off of the food. Breading often has

sugar and other ingredients that will reduce the oil’s life and darken the appearance of food. Consider filtering the oil to remove the breading particles.

Do not overfill the drawer. Excess food may not be cooked properly.

•

REDUCE THE COOKING TIME

Common Questions

•

How Much Oil to Use?

The PERFECT FRY has a capacity of 2.75 gallons of oil (11L). Fill the oil vat to the cold line only.

• How Much to Fry?

Fill the drawer to the top only. The drawer has an approximate capacity of 3 lbs (1.5 kg) of product per cycle. Whatever you can fit in the drawer is what you can fry.

• What is the Ideal Temperature Range for Cooking?

The ideal temperature range for cooking product is between 350°F and 360°F (177°C and 182°C). The factory default setting for cooking temperature is 350°F (177°C).

• Should Frozen Food Be Defrosted?

DO NOT THAW FROZEN FOOD! Frozen foods only should be put directly into the fryer in order to minimize moisture.

• Can I Refreeze Frozen Foods?

NO, do not refreeze frozen foods. Foods that are refrozen can absorb more oil, which will result in a dry, brittle and tasteless product.

Page 21

OWNER’S MANUAL FOR ALL DSA MODELS – 3/1/2013

OIL FACTS

Frying oil is especially formulated to withstand high temperatures. For this reason, you must ensure you are using the right product. Liquid vegetable shortening is produced by several companies; the oil has an additive and/or has been formulated to increase the performance during high temperature usage.

DO NOT USE OIL THAT IS RECOMMENDED BOTH FOR SALAD AND FRYING!

Fill the oil vat to the cold line only. The oil expands as it heats and if overfilled, the bottom of the basket will remain in the oil when in the up/serve position.

How Much to Fry?

• Fill the drawer no higher than the top. Do not overfill the drawer.

• Keep drawer and basket clean and free of breading/batter build up.

• Remove ice crystals or excess water before frying.

• Do not salt or season before frying.

• Remove surplus and/or batter before frying.

• Do not allow frozen food to thaw before frying.

• Drain fried foods before serving.

How Hot is TOO Hot?

Ideal frying temperature range is between 350°F and 360°F (177°C and 182°C). Factory default setting is 350°F (177°C). When frying at too low a temperature, food absorbs more oil which increases oil consumption.

Excessive Oil Usage?

The fried product is absorbing oil. Possible reasons for this include:

• Excess breading or batter, shake off excess before frying.

• Allow basket to drain longer, adjust the drain time.

• Food is being allowed to thaw before frying.

Cleaning Your Fryer?

• Refer to the Cleaning section of this owner’s manual. Remember to clean the basket and drawer daily.

Filtering Your Oil?

The most important procedure you can do is to maintain the oil, extending its life:

• Filter at least once a day, preferably first thing in the morning when the oil is at room temperature.

• Filtering removes all the contaminants from the previous days cooking.

• Clean the oil vat.

Points to Remember:

• Clean the cooking chamber at least once a week and rinse thoroughly.

• Filter oil daily.

• Do not overheat oil.

• Use the standby mode when possible.

• Do not salt product prior to frying.

• Remove ice crystals and moisture before frying.

• Maintain oil level in vat, check to ensure it is at the hot line often.

• The oil is dead when foaming appears continuously on the oil surface

Your oil, product taste, and customer s dep end on you.

- 19 -

Page 22

OWNER’S MANUAL FOR ALL DSA MODELS – 3/1/2013

OIL FACTS (Continued)

If the oil temperature is set too high, the food will cook on the exterior and the interior will be undercooked. When the interior is cooked completely, the exterior will be overdone or burnt. The higher temperature will also cause the oil to break down faster and smoke.

During slow periods, take advantage of the standby mode which allows the oil to cool down to 275°F (135°C), prolonging the oil life and reducing energy costs while allowing quick recovery time when required.

The oil temperature should not be adjusted when cooking different products. Adjust the cooking time instead.

Frozen Foods

Put frozen foods directly into the fryer. DO NOT THAW FROZEN FOODS! Blot excess water from food before frying. Remove ice crystals that may be at the bottom of the product bag.

OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX! Water reacts with oil and makes it break down rapidly resulting in darkening, smoking and foaming (a process called hydrolysis). Excess water in the oil can cause the following problems:

• Unnecessary temperature drop meaning longer cooking times.

• More energy usage to maintain cooking temperature.

• Excessive splattering inside the fryer resulting in a mess to clean up.

• Decreased life of the air filter and the oil.

Refreezing Frozen Foods?

Frozen foods should be fried frozen. Foods that are refrozen can absorb more oil and make your fried foods taste greasy. Refrozen food forms excessive ice and these ice crystals can bond food pieces together causing clumping. Remember:

• Always FRY FOOD FROZEN.

• NEVER REFREEZE thawed food.

• REMOVE ice crystals from product before frying.

• DO NOT accept thawed or refrozen product from supplier.

Excessive Foaming?

The main reason for foaming is improper rinsing of oil vat after cleaning:

• To remove soap residue, rinse 3 times with water after cleaning or neutralize with a water and vinegar

solution (1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water).

• Take care of your oil; use standby mode during slow periods. High temperature and oxygen contribute

to oil breakdown. Filter oil and clean vat at least once a day when using heavily breaded products.

Excessive Smoking/Oil Darkening?

• Oil is too hot, check temperature.

• Inadequate filtering, breading or batter build-up in vat causes oil breakdown, giving food a bitter taste.

• Moisture content is too high. Use precooked frozen products only. Remember to remove ice crystals.

Grease Soaked Food?

• Frozen food is being allowed to thaw before frying.

• Oil is in the advanced stages of breakdown, replace immediately.

• Oil temperature is too low, check temperature.

• Product has too much breading or batter, remove excess.

Page 23

OWNER’S MANUAL FOR ALL DSA MODELS – 3/1/2013

OIL FACTS (Continued)

Food Not Browning Properly?

• New oil may not brown the product; check color again after a few basket loads.

• Too much product is in the basket; fill no higher than the fill line.

• Product is not frying long enough, follow manufacturers suggested cooking times.

• Oil temperature is too low, check oil temperature.

• Product is frying in excess foam.

• Oil level is too low, check the oil level.

Premature Oil Breakdown?

• Oil is at full temperature during slow periods, use standby mode.

• Oil is contaminated. Never use wire brushes, copper pads or steel wool for cleaning. Use a hard

bristle brush and filter oil regularly. Rinse with water vinegar solution.

• Also, see section; HOW HOT IS TOO HOT?

CTSTM (Cook Time Sensitivity)

• CTS oil temperature when a basket of product is placed into the fryer. CTS

adjusts cooking time to compensate for the drop in cooking

increases cooking time to accommodate for differences in

product moisture content, basket-load size, and initial temperature.

• A proper CTSTM setting will ensure a high quality product. For example; 2 lbs of French fries will cook to the same quality as only 6 ounces of French Fries.

• In addition to having a “global” CTS

Options menu for manually entered cook cycles, each preset can be programmed with its own individual setting. This provides for a lot of flexibility among different food products.

• Some experimenting with the range of 1 to 9 may be required to achieve optimum quality. A value of 5 is a good place to start and is the default.

• A setting of 0 means no CTS

whatsoever.

 WAIT MODE

 When , will not allow cooking until oil has reached operating temperature  Default is 

 PRESET MODE

 When , only PRESET LOCKED mode and RAPIDFRYTM mode are available  This allows the operator to better control inventories as manual cook cycles are not permitted  Default is 

 BUZZER VOLUME

 Intensity of “beep” for finish of cook cycle and system errors  Choose between 0 and 9  Default is 9

 KEY VOLUME

 Intensity of “beep” when a key is pressed  Choose between 0 and 9  Default is 4

 UNITS

 Temperature of oil in the vat  Choose between ºC (Celsius) and ºF (Fahrenheit)

 DRAIN TIME

 Time a basket of cooked food sits out of the oil before finishing the cook cycle  Choose between 0 and 30 seconds  Default is 15 seconds

 COOK TEMPERATURE

 Operating temperature of the oil  Choose between 275ºF (135ºC) and 375ºF (190ºC)

Note: Between 350°F and 360°F (177°C and 182°C) is ideal. If the temperature is set too low, the food will absorb too much oil and taste greasy. If the temperature is set too high, the food will cook too quickly on the outside and will be too dark once the inside is cooked. It may also cause the oil to breakdown quicker and cause smoking.

 Default is 350ºF (177ºC)

 STANDBY TEMPERATURE

 Oil temperature when fryer is in standby mode  Choose between low (ambient room temperature) and high (cook temperature)  Default is 275ºF (135ºC)

 LCD CONTRAST

 Some experimenting with the range of 1 (normal) to 9 (very battered) may be required to

achieve optimum performance. For example, chicken tenders will work well under a setting of 1 since they don’t tend to stick together. However, battered french fries will need to set to 5 as they tend to stick together when they’re cooked.
