Read each step completely before doing what it
tells you to do.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, before
you begin working, make sure that there is
no combustible material in the area of the
fryer.
1. If necessary, install the swing column,
connect the swing connecting rod, install the
cutter head, and install the hopper and the
plunger.
2. Connect the machine to an appropriate
power source.
3. Check the connection of the machine to the
gas source to make sure that it is tight.
4. When the shortening reaches the correct
frying temperature, it should reach the top of
the flight bars.
Shortening expands as it increases in
temperature. This means that unless the
shortening is at frying temperature when you
put it in the kettle, you should put it in
gradually. Let the shortening in the kettle
heat up before you add more.
Put shortening in the kettle using one of the
these methods.
• Pre-melt shortening in a pan on the
stove, heat only slightly to liquefy the
shortening and carefully pour it into the
kettle.
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
• Use the optional EZ Melt to melt
shortening and transfer it to the kettle.
See your EZ Melt manual.
• Put solid shortening into the kettle,
packing it tightly around the thermostat
bulbs.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
5. Turn the combination gas control valve knob
to the PILOT position.
5. Press and hold down the valve knob. At the
same time, push the red ignition button until
you can see a flame through the opening on
the outfeed end of the fryer.
6. Continue holding down the valve knob for
about 20 seconds. When you release the
valve, make sure the flame is still on the
pilot.
