Operating Instructions
Normal Use of the Fryer:
For normal operation, once the fryer is turned on for the first time each day, allow 6-10 minutes for the frying
compound/oil to come up to the desired temperature.
Never cover or touch the flue when the fryer is on. The flue becomes very hot. Doing so
can result in severe burns.
1.
Place product in the basket for frying. No more than 1/2 full - Do NOT over fill the baskets. Fill baskets away
from fryer or place on nesting hooks only. Do not attempt to fill the baskets while they are submerged in oil.
Depending on moisture content of the food product, some oil cracking/spiting may
occur. Please be careful when dropping the product down into the oil. Never reach
in or touch the oil with your hands, doing so can result in severe burns.
2. Once the frying compound/oil is to the desire temperature, the burners will switch off and the frying basket
may be gently “dropped” for frying. (Follow the cooking directions of the product being fried for the proper
cooking time.)
Do NOT salt the food over the oil.
3. Once the cooking time for the product has been reached, the fry basket can then be lifted and placed on the
nesting hook for draining. Allow at least 5-10 seconds for draining, Product can then be served or placed in a
proper heated containment unit for serving.
NOTE: T
he time between “drops”, in order for the oil to come back up to the original frying temperature is about
30 seconds to 1 minute.
Continue use of the frying compound/oil until it becomes darkened, becomes heavily soiled with food particles,
and/or the food product begins to look darkened or burned. Frying compound/oil may need to be changed based
on the product being fried in it. (For example: Onion rings tend to degrade the oil faster than french fries) Refer
to Instructions for Draining Oil section for how to drain the oil. Refer to Cleaning Instructions Fry Tank for fry tank
care.
OVER NIGHT SHUTDOWN
Turn the temperature control knob to the OFF position. Or turn the OFF/PILOT/ON valve control to PILOT if you
wish not to change the temperature setting. (The pilot flame alone will keep the frying compound temperature to
130-145°F. when not under any load. This will shorten preheat time when turned back on.)
A fryer cover is recommend in instances where the fryer remains ready for use but is turned completely off.
EXTENDED SHUTDOWN (4 DAYS OR LONGER)
1. Turn the temperature control knob to the OFF position.
2. Turn the OFF/PILOT/ON valve control knob to the OFF position.
3. Turn the manual control valve under the unit to the OFF position.
4. Turn the supply valve to the OFF position (not supplied by Globe).
5. The entire flue duct opening on the top rear of unit must always be left uncovered.
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is extinguished.
When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical current from a
thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and the valve closes
automatically.
HIGH LIMIT THERMOSTAT
Globe fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from rising above 450ºF.
Due to the accuracy tolerance of the high limit thermostat, the oil temperature may reach as high as 475ºF.
In the event the fryer shuts down, the oil must be cooled to below 400ºF before the pilot burner can be re-ignited.
When the oil has cooled, refer to the Operating the Fryer - Pilot Lighting Instructions to light the pilot.
