OPERATION
OIL LEVEL
A raised form on the inner left hand side of the left tank indicates the oil level range.
The upper and lower extremities of the raised form indicate the upper and lower oil
level limits.
The fryer should be filled with oil to a level which lies within the length of the form.
Please note the following.
The danger of fire exists if the oil level is below the minimum indicated level.
The danger of surge boiling exists if the oil is above the maximum indicated
level.
The danger of surge boiling also exists if over-wet or too large a load is used
Refer to the specifications page for the volume of oil required for your particular
model.
FILLING WITH LIQUID OIL
Fill the tank with the required volume of oil using the following procedure.
Ensure all controls are OFF, the drain valve is closed and the elements are
cold.
Place the strainer in position, lower the elements and place the fish plate in
position.
Fill the tank with the required volume of oil.
The fryer is now ready for cooking.
FILLING WITH SOLID OIL AND USING THE MELT CYCLE
If solid oil or shortening is preferred this may be melted after filling by using the melt
switch and the following procedure.
Ensure all controls are OFF, the drain valve is closed and the elements are
cold.
Place the strainer in position and lower the elements. Do not place the fish
plate into the tank at this time.
Fill the tank with solid oil/shortening to sufficiently cover the elements.
Switch the fryer ON at the main isolating switch.
With the thermostat selector switch set to the PRIMARY position, set the
primary thermostat to 120°.
Switch the melt switch to ON.
With this setting, the solid oil will be melted. A full tank will take approximately 40
minutes to melt but will vary according to the model you own. While melting,
additional solid oil will need to be added to achieve the correct oil level. Care should
