12. HOT LIQUIDS UNDER PRESSURE
To safely close lid:

A. Use both hands on handlebar to lower lid.
B. Pull handlebar completely into lid lock block so
that lid lock pops up (‘clank’ sound) into its
straight, locked position.

To safely open lid:

A. Wait until cook cycle is nished (timer at 00:00
and buzzer sounds).
B. Do not touch handlebar to open lid until
pressing down on lid lock causes the lid to lower.
C. Then with the lid in the lowered position, use
one hand to move handlebar to open.

13. DO NOT open drain valve until fryer power is OFF and lid is
open. Use safety gloves and place an appropriate container or
lter in position under drain valve before opening valve.

14. DO NOT install or attach any piping or tubing to drain valve
other than Winston drain valve extension.

15. DO NOT handle fryer basket without using safety gloves and
basket hook or lift assist tool.

16. DO NOT stir cooking oil in collector after the rst round
of cooking each day. Cooking oil may come up and out
of cookpot.

17. DO NOT clean or move fryer until you have disconnected fryer
from power, completely removed lid, drained cooking oil, and
removed collector. Never use “boil-out” method or water for
cleaning fryer cookpot.

18. DO NOT splash water or use hose on outside of fryer. Use only
damp towel to clean fryer surfaces outside of cookpot.

19. DO NOT use any liquids other than cooking oils in fryer
cookpot.

20. PURCHASE only Winston authorized replacement parts, which
will provide the most current danger warnings.

21. ALWAYS turn power switch to OFF anytime fryer

is not in use.

22. DO NOT use vent ball with ball-end deadweight.

23. INSTALLATION of this fryer may require the use of a licensed
electrician. Check local codes.

ASSEMBLY OF COLLECTRAMATIC® FRYERS

!

CAUTION:

Prior to using equipment for the first time, perform the daily
cleaning procedure listed Under Daily Care on pages 15
through 17.

Before beginning the assembly process, wipe out cookpot and
collector with damp, lint-free towel. This removes any dust or
debris that may have accumulated. Never use water in the
fryer.

FRYERS

Gasket

1. After uncrating your fryer, you will find two sets of o-ring
gaskets – two large and two small. (OF Models do not
receive the large gaskets, which are for the lid.)

2. Lubricate the smaller o-ring with cooking oil and install in
groove at top of collector (see Figure 1).

3. Install collector in bottom of fryer and gently tap with
stirring tool until it seats into place.

4. Check to determine that drain valve is closed.

(See Figure 2).

5. Fill with cooking oil to one inch below Minimum fill line.
Oil will expand as it is heated. Check oil level again once it
has heated to cooking temperature to verify that oil level is
between Minimum and Maximum marks.

!

DANGER: Fire or heater damage may occur when

heaters are turned ON unless they are fully covered with
cooking oil.

6. Lubricate large o-ring with cooking oil and install in
groove around edge of lid.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FILLING

The following filling procedure is to be used when cooking oil
is changed or when oil is added for the first time.

!

CAUTION:

Prior to using equipment for the first time, perform the daily
cleaning procedure listed Under Daily Care on pages 15
through 17.

1. Turn off Power Switch.

2. Clean Fryer per daily cleaning procedure -
see pages 15-17.

3. Lubricate Lid Gasket and Collector Gasket
with cooking oil before placing on fryer.

4. Check Collector and Drain Valve -
Make sure collector with gasket is seated
and drain valve is closed
(handle back – see Figure 3).
Always place lifting loop in front.
This will allow the collector to be removed with ease.

!

CAUTION:

Cooking oil may be hot enough to burn you. Be careful when
moving containers of liquid cooking oil.

!

DANGER: Fire or heater damage may occur when

heaters are turned ON unless they are fully covered with
cooking oil.

5. Add Cooking Oil - Liquid or solid cooking oil may be used.
Melt solidified cooking oils in tender or other means and
pump into fryer. Add enough cooking oil to raise liquid to
within one inch of Minimum oil level line (see Figure 4,
page 12). As oil heats, it expands. Check level again once
oil has heated to verify that level is between Minimum and
Maximum marks.
