Gas Pressure Fryer Operation
16
The LGF/LGF-F fryer has a maximum temperature setting of 375º F (190º C). 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.
3. Place the gas control ON/OFF switch in the ON position.
4. The digital timer has a STIR OIL function that operates in one of four reconfigurable modes. If the timer
needs to be reconfigured, follow step a. If the timer does not need to be reconfigured, follow step b.
a. Press and hold the ALARM button and at the same time place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch in the
FRY position. The display will show the word “STIR” until the ALARM button is released. When the
button is release the display will show the current configuration mode. To change this mode select
the timer key that represents the mode you want. Refer to the table below:
KEY DISPLAY MODE DESCRIPTION
A -AL-
New or unchanged timer. Alarm sounds at the end of the internal 6
minute countdown.
B -OFF
Defeats the STIR OIL function. Timer operates as if it had no STIR
OIL function.
C PrES STIR OIL function for all Pressure Fryers.
D LiFT STIR OIL function for all Autolift Fryers.
The display will now show the selected mode. Proceed to step c.
b. Once the fryer is filled with shortening, place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch in the FRY position.
c. Unless the STIR OIL function is operating in the –OFF mode, the digital timer activates a STIR OIL
function and begins an internal six minute countdown (not displayed). At the end of the internal
countdown, the display shows the words “STIR” then “OIL” in .5 second intervals and the alarm
sounds. Depress the ALARM button and stir the shortening freely while it is heating.
IMPORTANT ! Before the first cooking operation each day, stir the shortening freely while it is heating
to provide a balanced shortening temperature for excellent results with the first cooking. Failure to do
this can result in a crusty skin on the product surface with an undercooked product internally. In
addition, in some cases, failure to stir the shortening while it is initially heating may cause the
HI-LIMIT safety device to disable the power due to a false overtemperature condition.
5. Set the thermostat to the desired cook temperature. The temperature light will go on. When the
temperature is reached, the light will go off. The light will continue to cycle on and off as the fryer
maintains the set temperature.
6. Press and hold the TIME SELECT arrow buttons on the digital timer until the desired cook time is
displayed or recall a preset time by quickly pressing the appropriate preset button.
7. The shortening will heat and begin to reach the fill mark inside the pot. Add more shortening as required
to reach the fill mark.
Cooking (LGF and LGF-F)
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure.
Serious burns may result.
1. Ensure that the Start-Up procedures have been performed.
