APPENDIX C: Solid Shortening Melting Unit Use
•
Ensure shortening melting unit is on.
•
Fill melting unit with shortening.
•
Allow 2-3 hours for solid shortening to melt.
DO
NOT
press the orange reset button until the
shortening has had time to melt. The low oil
reservoir light will come on if the fryer calls for oil
before the shortening in the melting unit is liquid.
•
Once the shortening is fully melted, press and
hold the orange reset button to turn off the light
and reset the top off system.
•
DO NOT ADD
hot oil to the shortening melter. The
temperature of the oil reservoir should not exceed
140°F (60°C). Add small amounts of solid
shortening to the reservoir to ensure it has
sufficient oil to operate the top-off system.

DO NOT TURN OFF
the solid
shortening melting unit overnight.
•
The power switch for the melting unit is also used
as a reset switch if the system’s high limit
temperature is reached.

The surfaces of the solid shortening heater are hot. Do not touch with bare hands. Wear protective
clothing when adding shortening to the melting unit.
