Fryer Operation
GBF-70 Fryer
13. The recommended method for loading uncooked food items into the fryer is to first place product into a Cook
Basket , then place the basket into hot oil. This can help avoid possible burn hazards when handling food near
hot oil ... oil splash, splatter and lack of operator attention can result in skin contact with extremely hot oil.
When fryer is equipped with optional basket lifts, the basket will be automatically lowered into oil when the
cooking cycle is started.
Product may also be loaded into a basket after it has been placed into the vat. If this method used, always
wear appropriate protection (thermal mitts or gloves) to avoid possible burn injury.

4.02 Cooking Procedures - continued
Use extreme caution when dropping food product into HOT cooking oil! Serious burn
injuries can occur if hot oil contacts unprotected skin, such as could occur with an
unexpected splash. Loading items containing excessive moisture or loading larger than recommended
quantities can cause surge boil and result in overflow of HOT oil. Use caution when loading foods and observe
how the hot oil reacts before continuing.
