CAUTION
WHEN FILTERING, NEVER LEAVE THE
FILTER UNATTENDED. ALWAYS POINT
THE FLEXIBLE OIL RETURN HOSE
NOZZLE DOWN INTO THE FRY VESSEL
TO PREVENT THE SPRAYING OF HOT OIL
WHICH MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
4. DAILY OPERATION
4.1 OPENING: At opening time, always
visually check that the power switch and the
thermostat are “OFF”.
4.2 GENERAL USE:
a. For consistent quality product,
convenience and long-term savings, use
a high-quality liquid frying compound.
b. Although a temperature of 350°F
(177°C) is recommended for most
cooking operations, set the fryer at the
lowest possible temperature which
produces a high quality end product
while ensuring maximum life of frying
compound.
When the fryer is not in use, the
thermostat should be set lower than that
used during cooking.
4.3 TURN ON PROCEDURES:
a. If fryer is empty, pour enough frying
compound into the vessel to fill the
vessel to the "oil level” line scribed on
the rear wall. If solid shortening is to be
used, melt enough in a separate
container to cover the heating elements
in the bottom of the vessel, then melt the
rest in the vessel by turning power
switch off and on.
b. Turn the power switch on; set
temperature controller to 350°F (177°C).
In less than 30 minutes, the frying
compound temperature will stabilize and
be ready for production.
4.4 FILTERING:
a. Filter the frying compound at least once
daily or more frequently if cooking is
heavy. Prior to filtering, align the filter
unit with the drain valve. Attach the
drain valve extension to ensure frying
compound flows into the filter unit safely.
b. Filtering the frying compound assures a
better taste to the food being prepared,
minimizes flavors being transferred from
batch to batch, and increases frying
compound lifespan.
c. If using solid shortening, clear return
lines before turning off the filter motor
and hang any flexible lines up to drain.
As it cools, solid shortening solidifies and
clogs lines.
4.5 CLOSING: When closing at night, filter
oil in all fryers and drain the filter lines.
Cover the open tanks of oil. Turn power
switch “OFF”.
4.6 SHUTDOWN: When shutting down for
periods longer than overnight, drain the
frying compound and clean the vessel
thoroughly. Either discard the frying
compound or return it filtered to the vessel
and then cover it. Turn both the power switch
and temperature controller “OFF”.
CAUTION
IF ELECTRICAL POWER SERVICE IS
DISRUPTED FOR MORE THAN A FEW
SECONDS, TURN FRYER OFF. THIS
WILL PREVENT THE FRYER FROM
ACCIDENTALLY HEATING OIL WHEN
POWER SERVICE IS RESUMED.
WARNING
IF USING SOLID SHORTENING, NEVER
MELT A BLOCK OF SHORTENING BY
SETTING IT WHOLE IN THE FRYER
VESSEL. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CAN
EASILY CAUSE THE SHORTENING TO
OVERHEAT, SCORCH, DAMAGE THE
ELEMENTS OR POSSIBILY A FIRE.
