CAUTIONS FOR ALL DEEP FAT FRYERS
NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING FRYER UNATTENDED
REMEMBER HOT OIL IS DANGEROUS –
RESPECT IT!
WARNING – INSTALLATION
• Locate your fryer in a protected place so
that it cannot be tipped over or knocked
off its support. A mechanical restraint
should be installed to prohibit the fryer
from tipping or moving. Consult your local
codes for allowable methods of restraint.
• Install an automatic fi re extinguisher over
the fryer and in the exhaust duct.
• Be sure your power supply is installed
properly and in accordance with the local
and national codes.
• Install a shut-off switch or gas valve close
to the fryer. It must turn off the fryer
immediately.
• Failure to add a mechanical restraint can
result in oil splashing out and contacting
the skin, leading to serious injury or death!
WARNING – HOT OIL
• Hot oil is dangerous – Severe burns can
result when hot oil contacts the skin.
• Hot oil is fl ammable – Keep open fl ames
away from hot oil and its vapors.
• Never allow water or ice to get in hot oil.
IT CAN EXPLODE!
WARNING - ENVIRONMENT
• Keep your fl oors clean and free of grease and
all other substances so no one slips
accidentally and contacts the hot fryer.
• Keep areas and fi lters clean above your fryers
– Oil soiled lint or dust can ignite easily and
fl ames will spread rapidly.
WARNING – MAINTENANCE
• Have your equipment checked regularly to
insure its safe and properly functioning.
• If your fryer starts to smoke or boil
abnormally, cut off the power supply
immediately and determine the reason for
the smoking or boiling before attempting
to use it again.
WARNING – TRAINING
• Train all personnel to understand the haz-
ards of hot oil. Instruct them on the proper
action to take if something does not seem
to be acting properly.
• Instruct your personnel on what to do if
there is an oil fi re. Do not use water on
an oil fi re! Use only fi re extinguishers of
the approved type and never direct such
extinguishers so as to blow the oil out of
the oil container.
