FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING
Solid shortening must NOT be used with this fryer. Melting solid shortening will
damage the tank and void your warranty.
NEVER melt blocks of solid shortening on top of the heat tubes. This would
cause a fire and could result in personal injury.
• Close the drain valve.
• Fill the fryer tank with liquid shortening.
• Shortening level should be between the min and max lines in the fryer tank.
• Shortening will expand when heated. Do not fill the fryer tank over the MAX line.
• Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain oil level.
