Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction
Always Make Sure The Lid Hook Is Latched When
Closing The Fryer
To make sure the lid hook is latched properly, press down the lid until the
hook snaps shut. Hot shortening and steam can escape if the lid hook is
not latched properly. You could be burned.
Always Tighten The Spin Handle When Closing
The Fryer
Hot shortening and steam can escape if you do not tighten the spin handle
properly. You could be burned. Line up the orange knobs on the fryer lid
handle and the front hook when tightening.
Do Not Over-Tighten The Spin Handle
You could damage the fryer.
Wear Safe Clothing Appropriate To Your Job
Always wear your insulated mitts when handling the fryer basket or touch
any hot metal surfaces. You received a pair of insulated mitts with your
fryer. If you lose or damage your mitts, you can buy new ones at your local
restaurant equipment supply store or from your local BKI Distributor.
Always wear non-skid shoes when working around the fryer or any other
equipment that uses shortening. Never wear loose clothing such as
neckties or scarves while operating your fryer. Keep loose hair tied back or
in a hair net while operating your fryer.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the filtering
process to guard against possible injury from hot oil.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the boil-out
process to guard against possible injury from hot cleaning solution.
Never Loosen The Spin Handle Until The
Pressure Gauge Is At Zero
Steam may escape suddenly if you loosen the spin handle before the
gauge is at zero. If steam escapes suddenly, you could be burned.
After the pressure gauge is at zero, wait 5 seconds. Then loosen the spin
handle slowly to open the lid of the fryer. By doing this, the steam will
escape slowly and you will not be burned.
Seal The Safety Valve Properly
To seal the safety valve, lift the arm on the side of the valve. Then release
it. The valve should snap closed. Hot steam can escape from the valve
and you could be burned if you do not seal the valve properly.
