Operating practices are very important for the efficient use of
these elements:
1. Pot bottoms must be flat. This increases heat transfer to
the pot. Do not use pots with either convex or concave in
excess of 1mm (1/32”).
2. Use pots with the same diameter as the elements when
possible. This will reduce heat up time.
3. Do not preheat the element. Elements are protected with
a high limit which automatically reduces the element to a
lower power. It will increase heat up time if this occurs.
4. Use a lid to cover the pots when boiling water.
Operating The Sealed Hot Plate
1. Before using the sealed hot plates for the first time they
should be heated at setting 3 for 5 minutes, then turned
off and allowed to cool. This will harden and burn off the
protective coating.
2. Set the six heat switch dial to the desired position from 1
to 6.

Supply Connection
For supply connection, use wire suitable for 75°C (167°F).
Electrical Connection
A knockout is provided on the right side when facing the
rear of the unit. Access to the terminal block is gained by
removing the fry tank assembly, the rear shield and contactor
box cover all located at the rear of the fryer.
Before Operating the Fryer
1. Before leaving the factory, the fryer was tested and the
thermostat calibrated with oil in the fry tank; therefore, it
is necessary to clean the fry tank and the elements before
filling with frying compound. Use detergent or other
cleaning agents, with hot water. Thoroughly rinse and dry
fry tank.
2. To remove the fry tank, raise the element assembly by
means of the handle until the support engages, holding
the element assembly in the upright position. The
element assembly is lowered by moving the lock stop to
release unit from upright position.
Operating Suggestions
1. For liquid oil fill the frypot with oil to the bottom OIL
LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This allows
for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any
higher than the bottom line; overflow may occur as heat
expands the oil.
2. When using a solid frying compound, pack the tank
with the compound then turn the fryer on and off every
10 seconds and repack until compound has melted.
The fryer capacity is 17 Lbs. (7.7Kg) per tank. Scorched
shortening cuts down on the useable life and could
damage the fryer.
CAUTION: Never set a complete block of solid shortening on
top of heating elements.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when
the oil is at its cooking temperature. It may be necessary
to add oil or shortening to bring the levels up to the
proper mark, after reaching cooking temperature.
4. To prolong shortening life, avoid over heating and reduce
the temperature during idle periods.
5. Ensure shorting is up to frying temperature before
adding foods.
