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. Each kettle has a 15

lb. fat capacity. 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 to the heating elements. The unit will still have power. 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. Each pot is equipped
with its own HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT.

CAUTION

CAUTION

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.

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. CONTACTING HOT OIL
CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES OR DEATH.

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.

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

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.
