OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING
Take out baskets, push down and hold element catch, located on left side of element housing. Lift
up on element lift handle until elements lock in a vertical position, and remove kettle. The kettle
can be cleaned in a sink like any other pot or container.
ADDING FAT
Replace kettle and swing the element down by holding element lift handle and pushing
release catch down and holding it there. Lower element. Fryer is now ready for use. Add
fat. A fat level line on the rear of the kettle will guide you in determining the minimum cold fat
level. A higher fat level can be used when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or fish cakes.
The fat level should be chosen carefully so that the foaming action of the fat does not spill out
of the kettle. If solid shortening is used, pack carefully around the elements.
CONTROLS
1. ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-pole switch which turns
power on or off.
2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this control allows you to select
the desired frying temperature. A signal light indicates when the element is on. When the
light goes off, the desired temperature has been reached.
3. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450° F (230° C), this control will
shut off the power. The light on the control panel will go out. The fat temperature must cool
to 400° F (202.4° C) and the manual reset button located on the back panel of the control
housing must be pressed to restore operation. Should the hi-limit control activate twice in
succession, the primary thermostat should be checked for malfunction by a qualified service
technician.
FRYING
After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200° F (92.4° C). After
the fat has melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting. Included in this instruction booklet
is a frying chart and some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected fat temperature has been
reached, the signal light goes out. Slowly lower half filled baskets into the fat. Do not overload
baskets as this causes foods to be improperly fried. When moist food is lowered too quickly into
hot fat, the fat will foam and spatter excessively.
NOTE: Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying cycle. The kettle
handles serve as basket hangers.
IDLING
During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 200° F (92.4° C). The fast recovery
fryers can be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes. Lowering the temperature
during idle periods saves energy costs and prolongs fat life. To turn off fryer turn the on/off switch
to the "off" position.
INAPPROPRIATE USE DUE TO A LACK OF COMMON SENSE MAY RESULT
IN PRODUCT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
