FILTERQUICK™ FQE30 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER
APPENDIX C: Solid Shortening Melting Unit Use
Ensure shortening melting unit is on.
Fill melting unit with shortening.
Allow 2-3 hours for solid shortening to
melt.
DO NOT
attempt to use the top off
system with unmelted oil in the top off
system. The low oil reservoir message
will be displayed if the fryer calls for oil
before the shortening in the melting unit
is liquid.
Once the shortening is fully melted,
press and hold the orange reset button
to reset the top off system.
DO NOT ADD
hot oil to the shortening
melter. The temperature of the oil
reservoir should not exceed 140°F
(60°C). Add small amounts of solid
shortening to the reservoir to ensure it
has sufficient oil to operate the top-off
system.
For best results,
DO NOT TURN OFF
the solid shortening melting unit
overnight.
The power switch for the melting unit is
also used as a reset switch if the
system’s high limit temperature is
reached.
