1. To prevent burning or scorching the solid shortening, keep the thermostat set at the lowest temperature until all the solid shortening between and above the tubes
has been melted. Additional solid shortening can then be added until the desired frying depth has been reached. Min. and Max lines are embossed on fry pot rear.
2. Replace the basket support frame over the fry pot heat tubes.
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open
electromagnetically by the electrical current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and the valve closes
automatically.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
American Range Fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from rising above 450°F or 232°C .(Because of the accuracy
tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as high as 475°F or 246°C. ) In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to
below 400°F or 204°C before the pilot burner can be re-ignited. When the oil has cooled, use the “Lighting” procedure on page 6 to place the fryer back in operation. If the
problem persists, contact your American Service Representative or the Stoddart Service Department.
COOKING HINTS / USER TIPS
•
Smoking oil means that the temperature is too high, or that the oil has broken down.
•
Gum in fry pot denotes a need for thorough cleaning (see “Weekly Cleaning”).
•
Use different oil for oily foods (mackerel, nutmeg, etc), than for foods with water-soluble flavors (potatoes, onions, etc.).
•
Taste cool oil for quality. Replace it regularly.
•
Poor oil cannot produce good food.

WARNING
ALL WATER MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE ADDING OIL OR SHORTENING NOT DOING SO CAN RESULT IN
SPLATTERING OF HOT OIL
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF THE HEAT TUBES. NEVER START THE
BURNERS WHEN THE FRYPOT IS EMPTY.
In the event of a main burner ignition failure, a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing the ignition
source.
