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 qualied 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.

CAUTIONS FOR ALL DEEP FAT FRYERS
NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING FRYER UNATTENDED
REMEMBER HOT OIL IS DANGEROUS –
RESPECT IT!
WARNING – INSTALLATION
• Locate your fryer in a protected place so
that it cannot be tipped over or knocked
off its support. A mechanical restraint
should be installed to prohibit the fryer
from tipping or moving. Consult your local
codes for allowable methods of restraint.
• Install an automatic re extinguisher over
the fryer and in the exhaust duct.
• Be sure your power supply is installed
properly and in accordance with the local
and national codes.
• Install a shut-off switch or gas valve close
to the fryer. It must turn off the fryer
immediately.
• Failure to add a mechanical restraint can
result in oil splashing out and contacting
the skin, leading to serious injury or death!
WARNING – HOT OIL
• Hot oil is dangerous – Severe burns can
result when hot oil contacts the skin.
• Hot oil is ammable – Keep open ames
away from hot oil and its vapors.
• Never allow water or ice to get in hot oil.
IT CAN EXPLODE!
WARNING - ENVIRONMENT
• Keep your oors clean and free of grease
and all other substances so no one slips
accidentally and contacts the hot fryer.
• Keep areas and lters clean above your
fryers – Oil soiled lint or dust can ignite
easily and ames will spread rapidly.
WARNING – MAINTENANCE
• Have your equipment checked regularly to
insure its safe and properly functioning.
• If your fryer starts to smoke or boil
abnormally, cut off the power supply
immediately and determine the reason for
the smoking or boiling before attempting
to use it again.
WARNING – TRAINING
• Train all personnel to understand the
hazards of hot oil. Instruct them on the
proper action to take if something does
not seem to be acting properly.
• Instruct your personnel on what to do if
there is an oil re. Do not use water on
an oil re! Use only re extinguishers of
the approved type and never direct such
extinguishers so as to blow the oil out of
the oil container.
• Inappropriate use due to a lack of
common sense may result in product
damage or personal injury.

CARE OF FAT
In three to six months you may spend as much for fat
as you paid for your kettle. So fat is an item you want
to know all about; how to select it; how to manage it.
The more production you can get from each pound of
fat, the more protable your frying operation will be.
To get a high rate of production per pound of fat you
have to avoid two things. One is early breakdown
and spoilage of the compound so that you have to
throw it away before it does enough work to "earn its
keep." The other is excessive sponging up of fat by
the food being fried.
The main cause of fat breakdown is excessive heat.
On the other hand abnormal absorption is caused by
frying too long at too low temperatures. One answer
to both problems is exact control of heat — so that
fat neither smokes up nor soaks up.
Of course, no fat "keeps" forever. Not only heat, but air
and moisture, salt particles and crumbs of food work to
break it down. But you can slow up fat deterioration by
maintaining proper temperatures and by draining your
kettle, ltering or straining the fat once or twice a day
and by keeping the kettle itself absolutely clean.
A number of commercial devices and materials are
available to aid in eliminating fat impurities. There are
several excellent models of pressure lters as well
as strainer-type lters, which, if used regularly, will
prolong life of fat.
However, no purication device will renew broken
down or rancid fat or put new life into it. Once you
have allowed fat to break down it becomes unsuitable
for frying — in fact browning is impossible.
In addition to ltration, you can prolong the usefulness
of fat by sweetening it with fresh compound every day
- replacing about 15% of the bulk you started with. If
you do enough frying so that normal absorption of fat
in food amounts to 15% to 20% of the capacity of your
kettle every day - then you can call that your turn-over
food. It means you can add the recommended 15%
of fresh fat without discarding any of the old.
10 POINT PROGRAM
TO PRESERVE FAT AND PRODUCE THE FINEST FRIED FOODS
1
. Choose a fat that does not break down quickly.
Hydrogenated shortening, corn, and peanut
oils are less likely to break down under high
temperatures.
2. Do not fry foods at temperatures above those
recommended. The higher the fat temperature,
the more rapid the rate of fat deterioration. Above
400°F fats quickly deteriorate.
3. During short intervals between frying, turn the
heat down. Do not keep heat on for long periods
between batches.
4. Keep fat clean. Strain or lter daily or at end of
each shift. Add at least 15% fresh fat to your
kettle daily.
5. At least once a day, cool a small amount of fat and
taste it to see if it has picked up foreign avors.
6.
Discard fat that tends to bubble excessively before
food is added.
Do not overload baskets-pieces should not touch
7.
when frying. Shake baskets to prevent food from
sticking together. Fry similar sizes together.
8. Never salt foods directly over fat, salt in fat reduces
its life.
9. Raw, wet foods, such as potatoes and oysters,
should be drained or wiped dry before frying to
extend the life of the frying fat. Have foods to be
fried at room temperature.
10. Keep fat temperatures below smoking point to
minimize frying odors.
