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.
