Safety Concerns
WARNING: The operator should be aware of the
HAZARDOUS NATURE, inadvertent splashing and spilling
etc., and RESULTANT CONSEQUENCES, personal burns,
fires, slipping on spilled liquid etc., when moving the fryer
with liquid in the vessel. If the fryer is to be moved, it is
recommended that the liquid in the vessel be cooled to
room temperature and removed from the vessel.
To assure you of maximum protection and performance
your US Range Fryer is equipped with the best and most
reliable controls and safety devices available. The operation
thermostat will regulate frying compound temperatures to
close tolerances in a range between 250°F and 375°F.
If for any reason the pilot should be extinguished the
combination safety valve will close off the gas flow to the
main burners and pilot burner. As an additional safety feature
this valve prevents gas from flowing to the main burners
when the pilot is being ignited.
On all units, due to the high rate of heating, and high limit
control device is provided as standard equipment. If for
any reason the frying compound temperature exceed the
maximum dial temperature the entire fryer will turn OFF at
450°F. If this should occur, have qualified service technician
check the system. FOR NO REASON SHOULD THIS HIGH LIMIT
DEVICE BE BY-PASSED!
Optimum Operation Tips
One of the most important considerations in the profitable
use of a fryer is the choice of the frying compound used. A
better frying compound will actually cost you less, because
it lasts longer than the lower grades and produce fried foods
with superior taste and appearance. There are numerous
high-grade products available and you are strongly urged to
use them.
