4.4 ADJUSTING BURNERS (cont.)
4.5 FILLING THE VAT WITH SHORTENING
DANGER
NEVER MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING BY PLACING IT WHOLE INTO THE
FRYPOT. FRYPOT DAMAGE CAN OCCUR AND THE CHANCE OF FLASH-POINT
FIRE INCREASES.
1. Cut the block of shortening into small pieces and pack into the frypot bottom. Do not set a
whole block of shortening into the frypot. ENSURE THE BOTTOM OF THE FRYPOT IS
COMPLETELY COVERED WITH SHORTENING BEFORE TURNING UNIT ON. Continue
packing the frypot to the lower OIL LEVEL line scribed into the back of the frypot.
2. Turn the Thermatron controller to the desired temperature after the frypot is properly filled with
shortening. The burners will cycle in melt cycle mode until approximately 145°F (63°C), and
then remain on until setpoint temperature is attained. The “green” indicator light (heat indicator)
will cycle on and off at setpoint temperature.
4.6 FINAL PREPARATION
Before starting operation, turn the Thermatron controller to the desired shortening temperature, wait
for the temperature to stabilize, and then check with a high-quality immersion thermometer.
