FILLING OR
ADDING OIL
The oil level must always be above the heating elements when the fryer is heating and
at the oil level indicators on the rear of the vat. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in a fire and/or damage to the fryer. Solid oil is not recommended and
could cause clogging and pump failures.
1.
It is recommended that a high quality liquid frying oil be used in the
open fryer. Some low grade oils have a high moisture content which
causes foaming and boiling over.

Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot oil into vat. Oil and all
metal parts that are in contact with the oil are extremely hot, and take care
to avoid splashing.

Oil Capacities:
Full-size vats = 19.3 quarts/37.8 lbs (18.3 liters/16.5 kg)
Split-vats = 10 quarts/18.7 lbs (9.5 liters/8.5 kg).
All vats have 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall of the
vat, in which, the upper-most line shows the oil at the proper level
when heated. Figures 1 & 2.
