CAUTION

This equipment is designed and sold for commercial
use only by personnel trained and experienced in its
operation and is not sold for consumer use in and
around the home nor for use directly by the general
public in food service locations.

INSTALLATION

These fryers are equipped for the voltage and wattage
indicated on the nameplate mounted to the element
housing and are designed for use on alternating current
(AC) only.

CAUTION

DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT
(DC).

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

These fryers are designed to a 10 lb. maximum capacity
of fat.

Follow these simple steps for setting up the fryer:

1. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position. Plug the
cord into a suitable receptacle. The receptacle
should match the plug.

2. Adding Fat: Replace kettle and swing the element
down, making fryer ready for use. Add fat. A fat
level line on the rear of the kettle will guide you in
determining the minimum cold fat level (the fryer
has a 10 lb. capacity). A higher fat level can be used
when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or fish
cakes. The fat level should be chosen carefully so
that the foaming action of the fat does not spill out
of the kettle. If solid shortening is used, pack
carefully around the element.

3. Controls:
a. ON/OFF Two-Pole Switch - Located on the

front control panel is a two-pole switch which
turns power on or off. An indicator light (top)
is located on the control housing.

b. Thermostat Control - Located on the control

housing, this control allows you to select the
desired frying temperature. A signal light
(bottom) indicates when the element is on.
When the light goes off, the desired
temperature has been reached.

c. HI-Limit Thermostat - Should fat temperatures

reach 450°, this control will shut off the power.
Both lights on the control panel will go out.
The fat temperature must cool to 400° F and
the manual reset button located on the back
panel of the control housing must be pressed
to restore operation. Should HI-Limit control
activate twice in succession, the primary
thermostat should be checked for malfunction
by a qualified service technician.

4. Frying: After fat has been added, turn the switch
on and set the thermostat at 200°. After the fat has
melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting.
Included in this instruction manual is a frying chart
and some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected
fat temperature has been reached, slowly lower
1/3 filled basket into the fat. Do not overload
basket, as this causes foods to be improperly fried.

NOTE: Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying
cycle. The kettle handles serve as basket holders.

CAUTION

HOT FAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. DO
NOT COME IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
FAT.

5. Idling: During idle periods turn thermostat control
to approximately 200°. The fast recovery fryers
can be brought up to frying temperature in a
matter of minutes. Lowering the temperature
during idle periods saves fuel costs and prolongs fat
life.

6. Draining kettle: Turn switch to "OFF". Raise element
to the first stop and allow to drain. Raise the
element to the vertical position and siphon the oil
out of the kettle. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REMOVE THE KETTLE FILLED WITH HOT
OIL. If you do not have a siphon, order one from
your dealer or dip the oil out and strain into a
container. After oil has been removed, remove
the kettle and clean.

7. Cleaning the exterior: The exterior surfaces can
be cleaned by regularly wiping with a soft cloth.
Any discoloration can be removed with a non­abrasive cleaner.

CAUTION

DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT FAT.
CHECK FAT LEVEL FREQUENTLY.

DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER AT ANY TIME.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Contact the factory or one of its representatives or a
local service company for service or maintenance if
required.

CAUTIONS FOR ALL DEEP FAT FRYERS

NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING FRYER UNATTENDED

REMEMBER HOT OIL IS DANGEROUS - RESPECT IT!

1. Hot oil is dangerous - Severe burns can
result when hot oil contacts the skin.

2. Locate your fryer in a protected place
so it cannot be knocked over or off its
support.

3. Keep your floors clean and free of grease
so no one slips accidentally and contacts
the hot fryer.

4. Hot oil is flammable - Keep open flames
away from it and its vapors.

5. Keep areas and filters clean above your
fryer - Oil soaked lint or dust can ignite
easily and flames will spread rapidly.

6. Install an automatic fire extinguisher over
the fryer and in the exhaust duct.

7. Have your equipment checked regularly
to insure its safe and proper functioning.

9. Be sure your energy supply is installed
properly and in accordance with the lo­cal and national codes. There should be
a convenient switch or gas valve, readily
available, close to the fryer for such a
shut-offprocedure.

10. See that all of your help understand the
hazards of hot fat. Instruct them on the
proper action to take if something does
not seem to be acting properly.

11. Instruct your personnel on what to do if
there is a fat fire. Do not use water on
an oil fire! Use only fire extinguishers of
the approved type and never direct such
extinguishers so as to blow the oil out of
the oil container.

12. Never allow water to get in hot fat.

It can explode!

8. If your fryer starts to smoke or boil ab­normally, cut off the energy supply im­mediately and determine the reason for
the smoking or boiling before attempt­ing to use it again.

CARE OF FAT

In three to six months you may spend as much for fat as
you paid for your kettle. So fat is an item you want to
know all about; how to select it; how to manage it. The
more production you can get from each pound of fat,
the more profitable your frying operation will be.

To get a high rate of production per pound of fat you
have to avoid two things. One is early breakdown and
spoilage of the compound so that you have to throw it
away before it does enough work to "earn its keep." The
other is excessive sponging up of fat by the food being
fried.

The main cause of fat breakdown is excessive heat. On
the other hand abnormal absorption is caused by frying
too long at too low temperatures. One answer to both
problems is exact control of heat — so that fat neither
smokes up nor soaks up.

Of course, no fat "keeps" forever. Not only heat, but air
and moisture, salt particles and crumbs of food work to
break it down. But you can slow up fat deterioration by
maintaining proper temperatures and by draining your
kettle, filtering or straining the fat once or twice a day
and by keeping the kettle itself absolutely clean.

A number of commercial devices and materials are avail­able to aid in eliminating fat impurities. There are sev­eral excellent models of pressure filters as well as strainer­type filters, which, if used regularly, will prolong life of
fat.

However, no purification device will renew broken down
or rancid fat or put new life into it. Once you have al­lowed fat to break down it becomes unsuitable for fry­ing — in fact browning is impossible.

In addition to filtration, you can prolong the usefulness
of fat by sweetening it with fresh compound every day ­replacing about 15% of the bulk you started with. If you
do enough frying so that normal absorption of fat in food
amounts to 15% to 20% of the capacity of your kettle
every day - then you can call that your turn-over food. It
means you can add the recommended 15% of fresh fat
without discarding any of the old.

10 POINT PROGRAM

TO PRESERVE FAT AND PRODUCE THE FINEST FRIED FOODS

1. Choose a fat that does not break down quickly.
Hydrogenated shortening, corn, and peanut oils are
less likely to break down under high temperatures.

2. Do not fry foods at temperatures above those rec­ommended. The higher the fat temperature, the
more rapid the rate of fat deterioration. Above
400°F fats quickly deteriorate.

3. During short intervals between frying, turn the heat
down. Do not keep heat on for long periods be­tween batches.

4. Keep fat clean. Strain or filter daily or at end of
each shift. Add at least 15% fresh fat to your kettle
daily.

5. At least once a day, cool a small amount of fat and
taste it to see if it has picked up foreign flavors.

6. Discard fat that tends to bubble excessively before
food is added.

7. Do not overload baskets-pieces should not touch
when frying. Shake baskets to prevent food from
sticking together. Fry similar sizes together.

8. Never salt foods directly over fat, salt in fat re­duces its life.

9. Raw, wet foods, such as potatoes and oysters,
should be drained or wiped dry before frying to
extend the life of the frying fat. Have foods to be
fried at room temperature.

10. Keep fat temperatures below smoking point to mini­mize frying odors.
