will appear on the computer display. The
shortening should begin to heat and begin to reach the fill mark inside the pot. Add more shortening as
required to reach the fill mark.
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 to
disable the power due to a false overshoot condition.
Cooking (LGF-FC)
1. Ensure that the Start-Up procedures have been performed.
2. Press the desired program number on the keypad. The computer will still display "
LOW
". The fryer will
begin to heat to the temperature that has been factory preset. When "
READY
" appears on the display,
the fryer is up to the desired temperature and the product can be loaded.
3. When frying chicken, connect the basket handle and lower the basket into the shortening in the fryer pot.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when dropping chicken
into pot. Carefully drop pieces of chicken into pot to prevent shortening splashes.
4. Carefully drop the chicken in the shortening one piece at a time starting with thighs and drumsticks. The
fryer is designed to accommodate 32 pieces of chicken.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in severe injury. Always use the insulated
mitts when handling the hot fry basket.
5. Lift the basket approximately 2 to 3 inches (6.35 cm.) above the shortening and shake it. This keeps the
food from sticking together and causing white spots on the cooked food.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when lowering basket into
pot. Carefully lower basket into pot to prevent shortening splashes.
6. Slowly lower the fryer basket into fryer pot and remove the detachable handle.
7. Close the lid. Make sure the lid hook latches securely under the catch.
8. Tighten the spin handle until the lid is firmly sealed. Then line up the orange knob on the spin handle with
the orange knob at the front of the fryer.
9. Press the desired program number a second time. The red light above the program number will flash and
the computer will display “
COOK
”. This will start a countdown in minutes and seconds until the end of the
cycle.
10. At the end of the cooking cycle, the computer will display "
DONE
" and signal with a series of audible
"beeps". Press the selected number once again to stop the cook cycle. Fifteen seconds before the end of
the cook cycle, the program will automatically release the pressure from the fryer. For your safety, the lid
will not unlock, even at the end of the cook cycle, until the pressure has been fully released.
Hot steam will escape when you open the lid possibly causing severe injury. Keep your
face and arms away from the fry pot.
