with water later.
Filling the fryer with oil is described in 2.1. To perform the calibration check detailed below you will
need a digital thermometer.
a. Place the tip of the thermometer in the shortening approximately 1" above the temperature
sensors.
b. Set the thermostat at 325°F and wait for the temperature reading on the thermometer to rise.
As the temperature rises toward 325°F watch the thermometer closely.
c. If the shortening temperature reaches 350°F and the burners DO NOT turn off, turn the
thermostat down. Keep lowering the thermostat setting until the burners go out.
CAUTION
If the burners do not turn off at the lowest thermostat setting, the thermostat
could be defective. Contact your representative immediately.
d. Let the fryer cycle 4 to 6 times before checking the temperature. Compare the thermometer
temperature against the thermostat setting. If the values are more than 5°F apart, calibrate
the thermostat using the appropriate calibration procedure in this manual.
