WARNING

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.

DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (DC).

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

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 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 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.

3

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 qualied service technician.

4. Frying: After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200°F.
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 lled 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.

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

CAUTION

CAUTION

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 rst 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 non-abrasive cleaner.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

1. DO NOT re empty kettle or with fat or oil beneath the minimum level indicator.

2. DO NOT fry foods in excess of 385°F (196°C).

3. DO NOT overll your fry kettle.

4. DO NOT allow burned crumbs to accumulate.

5. DO melt solid fat or shortening before lling fryer.

6. DO keep kettle lled to capacity at all time.

7. DO use correct fry fats and shortening, and follow temperature recommendations.

8. DO lter fat and clean fry kettle daily.

DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT FAT. CHECK FAT LEVEL FREQUENTLY.
DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER AT ANY TIME.

CAUTION

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