This unit was designed to operate with a reduced amount of oil as compared to previous models.
Additionally it is designed with software driven controls that optimize oil life. Typically operators can
expect 30 days of useful life from one vat of oil before replacement is required. These results vary
based on the amount and frequency of product cooked and the operators adherence to a consistent
maintenance schedule, which includes operator specific settings, filtering and polishing frequency,
and cooking habits.
NOTICE :
• To lengthen oil life and to keep product quality high do not skip oil filtration.
• The proper level of cooking oil is automatically maintained as long as the
fresh oil tank is filled. See 3.4 Fill the Fresh Oil Tank, page 13 for
procedures for filling the fresh oil tank.
5 5..1 1 W W..A A..S S..S S..H H..
W.A.S.S.H. is an acronym that Henny Penny uses to describe the environmental elements that
breaks down oil prematurely, shortening the useful life of the oil, which drives up the cost of
ownership. They are as follows:
• Water - Moisture naturally occurring in product along with other sources of water degrades oil.
Reducing water contamination by filtering often and cleaning off excessive ice crystals before
dropping product can extend the life of the oil.
• Air - Oil slowly oxidizes when it is in contact with air. Properly maintaining the fryer mechanically
and hygienically, and following recommended cooking procedures can reduce oil usage. Close the
lid when the unit is not in use.
• Salt - Salt within product and breading makes its way in to the oil during the cooking process.
Reducing additional salt contamination by following best practices when breading, cooking, and
seasoning product increases oil life. Never season or shake excess breading off over a vat of oil.
• Soap - Soap residue, even in undetectable amounts, left behind after the washing process
degrades oil. Ensure vats are rinsed thoroughly after washing to protect oil life.
• Heat - The controls are designed to make frying product the most efficient process as possible.
Following best practices when using the Henny Penny fryer ensures the longest oil life possible.
One best practice is selecting a product menu and placing the fryer in Cool Mode when not in use.
