be necessary to add shortening to maintain the proper
level.

NOTE:

 When adding solid shortening to an empty

fry tank, first remove the baskets and support racks
and fill the bottom of the tank with shortening, con-
tinue to pack the remaining shortening into the tank.
Place the basket support rack on top of the shorten-
ing before turning the unit ON.
For liquid shortening fill to the level lines indicated
on the side of the tank.

Shut Down:

Press the corresponding 

 key to turn the fryer OFF.

The Computer display will show "OFF" and all heat-
ing functions will cease.

NOTE:

 When the fryer is not being used, place the

cover over the fry tank.

Filling the fryer with oil:

It is very important to make sure the oil level is cor-
rect before attempting to heat shortening in your Pitco
fryer.

Liquid shortening can be poured directly into the fry
tank until the correct level has been reached. This is
indicated by a line on the right hand side of the in-
side of the tank.

NOTE:

 The “C” (Cold) level is considered to be the

“MINIMUM” oil level and the “H” (Hot) level is
considered to be the “MAXIMUM” oil level.

For solid shortening, the shortening must be cut into
small blocks about 1" (2.54 Cm) in size. These small
blocks must be placed under and around the heating
elements.

The fryer can now be turned ON.

Set-Up:

NOTE:

 Please read the Operating instructions thor-

oughly before attempting to operate this equipment.

Make sure the power cords are plugged into the cor-
rect receptacles and the proper building circuit break-
ers are turned ON.

Press the   key on either side of the full vat com-
puter, or the right 

 key for the right side and the

left   key for the left side of a split vat computer to
turn the unit ON.
The computer display will light and the heating ele-
ments will begin to heat and will be controlled by
the computer/controller.

NOTE:

 From a cold start the fryer will automati-

cally begin a melt cycle. This is a condition where
the computer will heat the shortening in small con-
trolled bursts of heat. Once the predetermined tem-
perature has been reached, the unit will exit the melt
cycle and go to normal operation. The melt cycle
cannot be overridden.
Make sure that the shortening is at the proper level

after

 cooking temperature has been reached. It may
