OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This chapter describes how to operate your fryer to obtain the best performance. Included in this chapter are
filling, operating, and cleaning instructions for gas fryers.
2.1 FILLING THE FRYER
Both liquid and solid shortening can be used in the fryer, but liquid is preferred. If solid shortening is used, it
is recommended that you use the solid melt cycle feature built into the computer to melt the shortening.
2.1.1 Filling the Fryer With Liquid Shortening
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Fill the fryer with oil to the "Oil Level" line marked on the back of the
tank.
2.1.2 Filling the Fryer With Solid Shortening
Never melt blocks of solid shortening on top of the burner
tubes. This will cause a fire, and will void your warranty.
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Remove the screen covering the tubes.
c. Cut the shortening into cubes no larger than 1". ALWAYS pack the
shortening below, between, and on top of the burner tubes. DO NOT
leave any large air gaps. Use care when packing the solid shortening
in the tank. DO NOT bend or break the temperature sensor probes. If
these are damaged the fryer will not function properly.
d. Once the fryer is packed with shortening, the shortening must be
melted. Shortening melt cycles are controlled completely by the
Intellifry computer. Refer to Fryer Operating procedures for
computer operation.
