BKI LGF-FC Gas Pressure Fryer - Manual (Page 16)

Gas Pressure Fryer Installation
Overfilling the fryer pot with shortening could lead to serious injury. Ensure that
the fryer pot is filled with shortening only to the fill mark when shortening is hot.
Do not use any shortening other than what is specified in this manual and do not
overfill the fryer pot.
The fryer has a maximum temperature setting of 375º F/190º C (for LGF and
LGF-F) or 390º F/200º C (for LGF-FC). Do not use oil/shortening with a
flashpoint less than 554º F (290º C)
Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke
point and no additives.
4. Place the gas control ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
5. Place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch in the OFF position.
6. Before you turn on the gas, wait at least five minutes to allow any gas that may have accumulated in the
burner compartment to escape.
7. Place the gas control ON/OFF switch in the ON position.
8. Place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to the FRY position. The shortening should begin to heat and begin to
reach the fill mark inside the pot. Add more shortening as required to reach the fill mark.
