Filling the fryer pot
1.
Close drain valve completely before filling the fryer pot.
2.
When the fryer is new, fill the fryer pot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning” on
page 14) in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter.
3.
The recommended solid shortening capacity for the fryer pot (35, 55 or 75lbs) is described on the serial
plate (which is located inside the front door).
4.
Remove the basket support frame when filling the fryer pot with solid shortening.
5.
When solid shortening is used, be careful not to bend, break, or twist the thin capillary wires of the
sensing elements located in the fryer pot.
6.
Pack solid shortening into the zone below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an inch
above the top of the tubes before lighting the fryer. If any air spaces are left around the heat tube
surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube surfaces will become red hot, burn the solid shortening,
weaken the fryer pot, and could result in a fire.
CAUTION
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF THE HEAT TUBES. NEVER START THE BURNERS
WHEN THE FRYPOT IS EMPTY.
7.
To prevent burning or scorching the solid shortening, keep the thermostat set at the lowest
temperature until all the solid shortening between and above the tubes has been melted. Additional
solid shortening can then be added until the desired frying depth has been reached.
8.
Replace the basket support frame over the fryer pot heat tubes.
