 DANGER  

Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process.  If the boil-out 

solution boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few 

minutes before resuming the process.  To lessen the chance of boil over, turn the 

fryer’s gas valve knob to the PILOT position occasionally.  

After the solution has simmered for one hour, turn the gas valve knob to the 

PILOT 

position and

allow the solution to cool.

Add one gallon (3.8 liters) of cold water and stir. Drain the solution into a suitable container and

clean the frypot thoroughly.

 

WARNING  

Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit or portable filter 

unit. These units are not intended for this purpose, and will be damaged by the solution. 

 

Rinse the frypot at least twice by filling the frypot with clean water and draining.    Dry the frypot

thoroughly with a clean, dry towel.

DANGER 

Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with cooking oil or shortening. 

Failure to do so may cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil or shortening is heated 

to cooking temperature. 

 

3.3 Filling with Cooking Oil or Shortening 

Ensure the fryer’s gas valve is off or in the pilot position.

Close the frypot drain valve; remove the basket support rack if required.

Fill the frypot to the lower oil-level line. 

When solid shortening is used, it must be thoroughly

packed down into the frypot’s cold zone.

To melt solid shortening without scorching, the gas valve knob should be turned to the 

ON

position for about three seconds and then to the 

PILOT position

 for about 10 seconds repeatedly

until the shortening is completely melted. If any smoke is seen during this process, the oil is

heating too quickly and scorching. This melting process is not necessary with liquid shortening.

3.4 Shutting the Fryer Down 

 

For short-term shut down during the workday, rotate the gas valve knob clockwise to the 

PILOT

 position. 

When shutting the fryers down at closing time, rotate the gas valve knob to the 

PILOT 

position (see 

Figure 1 on Page 3-1). Depress the gas valve knob and rotate slightly clockwise. Release and continue 

rotating clockwise to the 

OFF

 position.
