CONTROLS
1. ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-pole switch which
turns power on or off.
2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this control allows you
to select the desired frying temperature. A signal light indicates when the element is
on. When the light goes off, the desired temperature has been reached.
3. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450° F (232° C), this control
will shut off the power. The light on the control panel will go out. The fat temperature
must cool to 400° F (204.4° C) and the manual reset button located on the back panel
of the control housing must be pressed to restore operation. Should the hi-limit control
activate twice in succession, the primary thermostat should be checked for malfunction
by a qualified service technician.
FRYING
After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200° F (93.3° C). After
the fat has melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting. Included in this instruction
booklet is a frying chart and some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected fat temperature
has been reached, the signal light goes out. Slowly lower half-filled baskets into the fat.
Do not overload baskets as this causes foods to be improperly fried. When moist food is
lowered too quickly into hot fat, the fat will foam and spatter excessively.
NOTE: Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying cycle. The kettle handles
serve as basket hangers.
IDLING
During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 200° F (93.3° C). The fast
recovery fryers can be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes. Lowering
the temperature during idle periods saves energy costs and prolongs fat life. To turn off
fryer turn the on/off switch to the "off" position.
DRAINING KETTLE
Turn switch to "OFF." Remove the baskets. Raise the element to the first stop and allow
it to drain. Raise the element to the vertical position and siphon the oil out of the kettle.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KETTLE FILLED WITH HOT OIL.
CONTACTING HOT OIL CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
If you do not have a siphon, order one from your dealer or dip the oil out and strain it into
a container. After the oil has been removed, remove the kettle and clean.
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.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Contact the factory or one of its representatives or a local service company for
service or maintenance if required.
