spaces and being careful not to
disturb the sensing bulbs. Make sure
the crumb screen is removed before
placing solid shortening in the fryer.
Melt this shortening by turning the
burners “ON” for about five or ten
seconds, “OFF” for a minute, etc.
until the shortening is melted. If you
see any smoke coming from the oil
while melting this way, shorten the
“ON” cycle and lengthen the “OFF”
cycle. Smoke shows that you are
scorching the shortening and reducing
its useful life.
NOTE: NEVER MELT A SOLID
BLOCK OF SHORTENING BY
SETTING IT WHOLE ON TOP OF
THE HEATING TUBES. THIS IS
UNSAFE, INEFFICIENT AND
DANGEROUS.
c.
When the fryer vessel is filled and the
shortening melted, place the crumb
screen over the heat tubes.

Before starting operation, turn the
operating thermostat to the probable
working temperature; wait for the
temperature to stabilize then check
with a high-quality immersion
thermometer.

WHILE THE FRYER IS OPERATING.
ALWAYS WEAR OIL-PROOF,
INSULATED GLOVES WHEN
WORKING WITH THE FRYER FILLED
WITH HOT OIL.
