NOTE: WALDORF 'FAST-FRI HPO' fryers can be used with both oil and shortening.
1.
Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve, located behind the access door, is closed.
A locking slide is provided on the valve and this should always be locked in position during use.
OIL - Carefully fill the fryer tank with oil to the lower ‘Fill Level’ mark shown at the rear of the tank.
Set the thermostat to the required operating temperature, the oil will expand as heated and will
reach the upper level mark when the oil is hot (180-190°C).
FN8130GHPO fryer will hold 31 litres of oil.
SHORTENING - Ideally shortening should be pre-melted prior to putting it into the tank. This is normally
done in a suitable vessel on a boiling table burner. The liquefied shortening can then be poured into
the tank until it reaches the 'FILL LEVEL' mark.
FN8130GHPO fryer will hold 46.5 lbs shortening.
Pre-Heating
NOTE: When pre-melting shortening, only heat until the shortening is just liquefied. Do not
bring shortening up to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous.
If pre-melting of shortening is not possible, carefully cut the shortening in to small pieces and
pack into the tank.
