OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE THE LAMINATED WARNING SIGN SUPPLIED WITH THE FRYER IN AN
AREA VISIBLE TO THE FRYER OPERATOR.

CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING

Take out the baskets, push down and hold the element catch located on the left side of
element housing. Lift up on the element lift handle until the elements lock in a vertical
position, then remove the kettle. The kettle can be cleaned in a sink like any other pot or
container.

ADDING FAT

Replace the kettle and swing the element down by holding the element lift handle and
pushing the release catch down and holding it there. Lower the element. The fryer is now
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. A higher fat level can be used when frying bulky foods, such as

chicken or sh 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 elements.
