Care of the Shortening
To extend the life of your shortening, for the best possible flavor in your products, and for economy and
efficiency of operation, we urge you to follow these recommendations:
1. Use only high-quality frying shortening without additives, of low moisture content and with a high
smoke point.
2. Press excess moisture from products before breading. The more moisture released in the
shortening, the quicker it will break down.
3. Filter at least once a day or once every three loads during frequent cooking.
4. Clean any residue or crust formations from the sides and bottom of the pot each time you filter
the shortening.
5. Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain the proper shortening level
TO THE FILL MARK ON
THE POT WALL
.
6.
DO NOT HOLD SHORTENING AT HIGH TEMPERATURE
when the fryer is not in use. If you
expect an elapsed time of one hour or more between cooking, press the “0” button on the BLF-FC
model. On the BLF-F, set the thermostat to 150º F.
7. Shortening changes are determined by the quantity and type of food prepared. Excessive boiling
and foaming are definite signs of shortening breakdown.
8. After you have finished frying for the day, filter the shortening and replace the filter pad. Also,
thoroughly clean the pot of sediment and crumbs and empty the condensate pan.
BLF-F Operation
Start-Up
1. Make sure the main drain valve is closed.
2. Fill pot with shortening to about one inch below the fill mark.
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below the minimum oil level. The level of oil
within the pot must not fall below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers
guidelines for lifecycle of oil/shortening.
Overfilling the fryer pot with shortening could lead to serious injury. Ensure that
the fryer pot is filled with shortening only to the fill mark when shortening is hot.
Do not use any shortening other than what is specified in this manual and do not
overfill the fryer pot.
The fryer has a maximum temperature setting of 375º F/190º C (for BLF and
BLF-F) or 390º F/200º C (for BLF-FC). Do not use oil/shortening with a flashpoint
less than 554º F (290º C)
Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke
point and no additives.
