1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bot-
tom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face
of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.

After placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position, turn the gas valve knob to the OFF
position. Wait 5 minutes, then turn the knob
to the ON postion and proceed with Step 2.
For CE Fryers
Placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position also turns off the gas valve. Wait five
minutes before continuing with Step 2, which
will also turn on the gas valve.
2. Press the computer ON/OFF switch to the ON position and set the thermostat or program the
computer for normal cooking temperature.
3. If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds.
Repeat step 2.
4. The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF
(82ºC). (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burners will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then
go out for a longer period.) When the frypot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit will
automatically switch to the heating mode. The burners will remain lit until the frypot
temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature.
5. After the burners have been lit for at least 90 seconds, observe the flames through the burner
viewing ports located on each side of the combustion air blower.
