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 baskets, push and hold element catch, lift up on element lift handle until elements lock in a
vertical position, and remove kettle. The kettle can be cleaned in a sink like any other pot or container.

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. 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.

CONTROLS

1. ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-pole switch which turns power on
or off. An indicator light (Power On) is located on the control housing.

2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this control allows you to select the
desired frying temperature. A signal light "Heating" indicates when the element is on. When the light

goes off, the desired temperature has been reached.

3. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450°F (230°C), this control will shut off the
power. Both lights on the control panel will go out. The fat temperature must cool to 400°F (202.4°C)

and the manual reset button located on the back panel of the control housing must be pressed to

restore operation. Should the

hi-limit control activate twice in succession, the primary thermostat should be checked for malfunction

by a qualied service technician.

FRYING

After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200° F (92.4° C). After the fat has

melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting. Included in this instruction booklet is a frying chart and

some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected fat temperature has been reached, slowly lower half lled
baskets into the fat. Do not overload baskets as this causes foods to be improperly fried.

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

IDLING

During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 200°F (92.4°C). The fast recovery fryers can
be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes. Lowering the temperature during idle periods

saves energy costs and prolongs fat life.

INAPPROPRIATE USE DUE TO A LACK OF COMMON SENSE MAY RESULT IN
PRODUCT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
