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 down and hold element catch, located on left side of element housing, 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 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 it 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.

CAUTION

2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this control allows you

to select the desired frying temperature. A red signal light 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. The heat light light 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.

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