Setup
WARNING
Fill the frypot to the bottom OIL LEVEL line with vegetable oil before pressing the
ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. Failure to do so could damage the frypot.
1. Fill the frypot with vegetable 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
bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. If solid shortening is used, first raise
the elements, then pack solid shortening into the bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and
then pack solid shortening around and over the elements. Never insert a solid block of
shortening into frypot on top of the elements. Hot spots and element damage will occur, and the
potential for flash-fire increases.
WARNING
NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of heating elements. To do
so will damage the elements and increase the potential for flash-point shortening
temperatures and subsequent fire.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/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 vegetable oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the vegetable oil is at its
programmed cooking temperature. It may be necessary to add vegetable oil to bring the level up
to the proper mark, after the oil has reached the programmed cooking temperature. If solid
shortening is used, the MELT cycle MUST be used exclusively to melt the shortening. It may
be necessary to add solid shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark after the packed
shortening has melted. DO NOT DISABLE OR CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE UNTIL ALL
SOLID SHORTENING HAS MELTED.
Shutdown
1. Press the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position (the display will show "OFF").
2. Filter vegetable oil (if applicable) and clean fryers (See Chapter 4).
3. Place the frypot covers on frypots.
