Operating Instructions
Operating the Electric Fryer
Ensure all fryers parts are always cleaned thoroughly before use. Detergents can be use to break down
cooking oil and ensure adequate cleaning. For further cleaning instruction, refer to the cleaning section of the
manual.
Fryer Operation:
1. Fill the pan with oil, fat or shortening until level indicator line is reached.
A. Your choice of oil/fat will influence the quality of products cooked in this fryer. It will also
influence the life of the oil/fat. Please be sure to regularly change oil/fat to maintain best cooking
results and to avoid the breakdown down of oil/fat which will eventually lead to the oil igniting.
- A non-golden color or dark, burnt areas on food
may
indicate that the oil/fat needs to be changed.
B. If solid shortening is used, pack the fat around the heating element and set the thermostat between
200°F and 250°F. This will ensure the fat heats slowly and covers the element. Failure to do so
will trip the
Hi Limit
protection switch.
C. It is recommended that for preparation heat up, each day, fat is brought up to temperature steadily,
particular when solids fats/shortening is used.
D. Ensure oil/fat levels are maintained according to the indication marks in the pan. Over filling the oil
pans will result in over flow from surge boiling once food product is lowered into the pan for
cooking.
SURGE BOILING CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
PLEASE TAKE CAR WHEN COOKING WITH OIL
2. After proper oil/fat levels are obtained, set the thermostat dial for desired cooking temperature.
- While preheating, the amber light will stay on. When the selected temperature is reached, the
indicator light will go out.
3. Once the oil/fat has reached the desired temperature, the baskets with food product can be lowered
carefully into the oil/fat.
4. Only fill the baskets half way to ensure the best cooking results and to avoid surge boiling that can result
in injury.
The fryer is thermostatically controlled and will operate according to the desired temperature setting,
ensuring temperatures are maintained through cooking cycles.
