CHAPTER 2: OPERATION

2-2

2.1.3 Lighting the Burners

WARNING

NEVER

set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating tubes. To do so will damage the

heating tubes and frypot, and void the warranty.

Ensure the frypot is filled with oil or shortening to the lower of the two oil level lines embossed on the back wall of
the frypot.

NOTE:

If solid shortening is used, pack the shortening into the frypot, ensuring the shortening is packed

beneath, between and above the tubes prior to operating fryer.

DANGER

"Dry-firing" the fryer will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that shortening,

cooking oil or water covers the burner tubes before lighting the burners.

With the pilot lit, push down and slowly turn the gas valve knob to the

position.

Rotate the operating thermostat knob to the desired frying temperature. The burner should light and burn with a
strong blue flame.

DANGER

If the pilot and burners go out, the fryer must be completely shut down at least five minutes before re-

lighting.

2.2 Shutting the Fryer Down

For temporary shutdown, turn the operating thermostat to the

OFF

position and cover the frypot. Ensure oil is kept in the

frypot if the pilot is lit.

For complete shutdown, turn the operating thermostat to the

OFF

position, turn the gas valve knob to the

OFF

position

and cover the frypot.

2.3 Daily Operation

Do not allow grease to accumulate or harden on the frame, body, or flue of the fryer. Clean the fryer inside and out
with a solution of detergent and hot water daily.

Filter the cooking oil by draining the frypot through a filter cone at least daily. After the oil has been drained from
the frypot, remove any residue from the pot, using a non-abrasive scraper if necessary.

Clean the frypot at least once each week by filling it to just below the upper oil level mark with water. Add one cup
of detergent and bring the solution to a boil. Allow the solution to simmer for 10-15 minutes, then drain and rinse
the frypot with clean water twice. Add ¼ cup of white vinegar to the last rinse to neutralize alkalinity remaining
from the detergent. Wipe the frypot surfaces with a dry towel before refilling with cooking oil. If the fryer is not to
be used immediately after cleaning, wipe the frypot interior with a light coat of cooking oil to prevent rust.
