DANGER: BURN HAZARD
Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns.
Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when operating the fryer.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
Fig. 3 Temperature Control
Knob
Normal Operation
1. a. Be sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to OFF.
b. Lower the ELEMENT HEAD into the frypot by pushing back
on the BASKET SUPPORT ROD, raising the ELEMENT HEAD
SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering the elements.
2. Fill the FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to the
MIN OIL line.
Capacity: 15 pounds (F556), or 30 pounds (F676 and F856).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overll the frypot. Cold oil will expand as it
heats. Adding too much oil will allow the frypot to overow during
operation.
For best results, always use top grade commercial shortening made
specially for frying. Maintain proper oil level in frypot during
operation.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to the desired
temperature. Press POWER SWITCH (F856 only) to ON.
The HEAT INDICATOR will glow. When the oil reaches the
desired temperature, the heat indicator will go out. The heat
indicator will go off and on during operation as the thermostat
cycles to maintain temperature.
For best results: DO NOT set temperature control to a temperature
setting higher than is required for the food product.
Fig. 4 Oil Level Marking
NOTE: If the oil temperature
exceeds 440ºF, the hi-limit
safety will shut down the unit,
and light the red TROUBLE
light. To reset:
Allow the oil to cool, then
press the red button on the
back of the element head
until it “clicks” and stays in.
If tripping persists, see
Troubleshooting Suggestions,
page 9.
4. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product.
a. DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets
uniformly to half full.
b. Using the basket handle, lower the baskets into the hot oil.
c. When food is cooked, lift the basket out of the oil by the handle.
Hang the baskets on the BASKET SUPPORT ROD to drain.
5. When the heat indicator light cycles off, the fryer is ready to cook
the next load.
6. Reduce temperature control to 225ºF during idle periods to save
power and extend the life of the oil. The fryer will return to
operating temperature in just a few minutes when needed.
7. Keep the fryer clean at all times. Rinse baskets frequently, and dry
thoroughly, in order to prevent oil contamination.
8. Drain the frypot completely after use. Filter the oil daily, or more
often during heavy use.
