. Controls:
a. ON/OFF Two-Pole Switch - Located on the front control panel is a two-pole
switch which turns power on or off. An indicator light (top) is located on the control
housing.
b. Thermostat Control - Located on the control housing, this control allows you to select
the desired frying temperature. A signal light (bottom) indicates when the element
is on. When the light goes off, the desired temperature has been reached.
c. HI-Limit Thermostat - Should fat temperatures reach 450°, this control will shut off
the power. Both lights on the control panel will go out. The fat temperature must
cool to 400° F and the manual reset button located on the back panel of the control
housing must be pressed to restore operation. Should HI-Limit control activate
twice in succession, the primary thermostat should be checked for malfunction by
a qualified service technician.
4. Frying: After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 00°.
After the fat has melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting. Included in this
instruction manual is a frying chart and some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected
fat temperature has been reached, slowly lower 1/3 filled basket into the fat. Do not
overload basket, as this causes foods to be improperly fried.
NOTE: Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying cycle. The kettle handles serve
as basket holders.
CAUTION
HOT FAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT COME IN DIRECT CONTACT
WITH HOT FAT.
5. Idling: During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 00°. The fast
recovery fryers can be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes. Lowering
the temperature during idle periods saves fuel costs and prolongs fat life.
6. Draining kettle: Turn switch to "OFF". Raise element to the first stop and allow to drain.
Raise the element to the vertical position and siphon the oil out of the kettle. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KETTLE FILLED WITH HOT OIL. If you do not have a
siphon, order one from your dealer or dip the oil out and strain into a container. After
oil has been removed, remove the kettle and clean.
7. Cleaning the exterior: The exterior surfaces can be cleaned by regularly wiping with a
soft cloth. Any discoloration can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.
