OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the thermostat to the desired
temperature is all that is required to put the unit in service.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next
to the unit's sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for
the amount of air removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric
pressure will occur, which will affect the operation and cause undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the
room or area in which the unit is installed and will leave the unit independent of changing
draft conditions.
All the valves and thermostats must be checked periodically. Consult the authorized service
representative in your area.
CLEANING
Initial Cleaning
Always clean equipment thoroughly before the first use. Clean the protective oil from the
bright parts and interior of tank with a solution of washing soda or other grease dissolving
material.
Daily Cleaning
1. Always turn the unit OFF and allow it to cool off completely before cleaning.
2. Never clean the unit by immersing it in water.
3. The frequency of cleaning should depend on the load conditions. Set a definite
cleaning schedule corresponding to how hard the kettle is used. Cleaning should be
done at a least once a week.
4. Strain the frying compound into a clean container. Make sure there is no compound
left in the tank. (If the tank is left empty for more than 2 minutes, shut the pilot OFF. If
this is not done, the tank may be damaged.).
5. Add water to the "MAX" line.
6. Add any good grade cleaner following the cleaner
’s instructions.
7. Turn the thermostat to 75°F (dial
“°F” position). Let the heating unit bring the solution
to a boil.
8. Boil long enough to loosen or dissolve all varnish or carbon deposits. This should take
approximately 30 minutes.
9. Turn the unit OFF. Make sure the pilot is turned OFF at this time.
10. If necessary, clean the thermostat probes using a long-handled fibre or plastic brush
and mild soap solution.
11. Rinse with clean water to remove all cleaning mixture.
12. Rinse the inside of the tank with 2 cups of vinegar.
13. Rinse with clean water until the vinegar odour is gone. The fry tank must be
thoroughly rinsed since even a trace of cleaner left inside the tank will contaminate
the fry compound.
14. Dry thoroughly.
