DAILY OPERATION
4.1 OPENING:
At opening time, always
visually check that the power switch and
the thermostat are “OFF”.
4.2 GENERAL USE:
a.
For consistent quality product,
convenience and long-term savings,
use a high-quality liquid frying
compound.
b.
Although a temperature of 177°C
(350°F) is recommended for most
cooking operations, set the fryer at the
lowest possible temperature which
produces a high-quality end product
while ensuring maximum life of frying
compound.
c.
When the fryer is not in use, the
thermostat should be set lower than that
used during cooking.
4.3
TURN ON PROCEDURES:
a.
If fryer is empty, pour enough
shortening into the vessel to fill the
vessel to the "oil level” line scribed on
the rear wall. If solid shortening is to
be used, melt enough in a separate
container to cover the heating elements
in the bottom of the vessel, then melt
the rest in the vessel by turning power
switch off and on.
b.
Turn the power switch on; set
temperature controller to 177°C
(350°F). In less than 30 minutes, the
frying compound temperature will
stabilize and be ready for production.
4.4 FILTERING:
a.
General: Filtering the shortening
assures a better taste to the food,
minimizes flavors being transferred
from batch to batch, and increases
frying compound lifespan.
Filter the frying compound at least
once daily or more frequently if
cooking is heavy.
b.
Prior to filtering, align the portable
filter unit under the drain valve.
Attach the drain valve extension to
ensure shortening flows into the filter
safely.
c.
If using solid shortening, clear return
lines before turning off the filter motor
and hang any flexible lines up to drain.
As it cools, solid shortening solidifies
and clogs lines.
d.
For more detailed information
concerning filtration, review the
operator's manual shipped with your
filter unit.
CAUTION
If electrical power service is disrupted for
more than a few seconds, turn fryer OFF.
This will prevent the fryer from accidentally
heating oil when power service is resumed.
WARNING!
IF USING SOLID SHORTENING,
NEVER MELT A BLOCK OF
SHORTENING BY SETTING IT
WHOLE IN THE FRYER
VESSEL. THIS IS DANGEROUS
AND CAN EASILY CAUSE THE
SHORTENING SCORCHING,
DAMAGE TO THE ELEMENTS
OR POSSIBILY A FIRE.
