CAUTIONS FOR ALL DEEP FAT FRYERS
NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING FRYER UNATTENDED
REMEMBER HOT OIL IS DANGEROUS - RESPECT IT!
9. Be sure your energy supply is installed
properly and in accordance with the lo-
cal and national codes. There should be
a convenient switch or gas valve, readily
available, close to the fryer for such a
shut-offprocedure.
10. See that all of your help understand the
hazards of hot fat. Instruct them on the
proper action to take if something does
not seem to be acting properly.
11. Instruct your personnel on what to do if
there is a fat fire. Do not use water on
an oil fire! Use only fire extinguishers of
the approved type and never direct such
extinguishers so as to blow the oil out of
the oil container.
12. Never allow water to get in hot fat.
It can explode!
1. Hot oil is dangerous - Severe burns can
result when hot oil contacts the skin.
2. Locate your fryer in a protected place
so it cannot be knocked over or off its
support.
3. Keep your floors clean and free of grease
so no one slips accidentally and contacts
the hot fryer.
4. Hot oil is flammable - Keep open flames
away from it and its vapors.
5. Keep areas and filters clean above your
fryer - Oil soaked lint or dust can ignite
easily and flames will spread rapidly.
6. Install an automatic fire extinguisher over
the fryer and in the exhaust duct.
7. Have your equipment checked regularly
to insure its safe and proper functioning.
8. If your fryer starts to smoke or boil ab-
normally, cut off the energy supply im-
mediately and determine the reason for
the smoking or boiling before attempt-
ing to use it again.
