POWER SUPPLY
Models 530TD and 530TED are wired at the factory for operation on a single phase power supply.
For specific wiring, check the wiring diagram.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLACE THE LAMINATED WARNING SIGN SUPPLIED WITH THE FRYER IN AN
AREA VISIBLE TO THE FRYER OPERATOR.
CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING
Take out baskets, push and hold element catch, 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, making fryer ready for use. Add fat. Each kettle
has a 5 lb. fat capacity. 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. An indicator light (Power On) is located on the control housing.
2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this control allows you to select
the desired frying temperature. A signal light "Heating" 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 to the heating elements. The unit will still have power. 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. Each pot is equipped with its own HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT.
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, slowly lower half filled baskets into the fat. Do not overload baskets as this causes
foods to be improperly fried.
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.
DRAINING KETTLE
Turn switch to "OFF". Raise element to the first stop and allow to drain. Raise the element to the
vertical position and siphon the oil out of the kettle.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KETTLE FILLED WITH HOT OIL. CONTACTING
HOT OIL CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES OR DEATH.
If you do not have a siphon, order one from your dealer or dip the oil out and strain into a
container. After oil has been removed, remove the kettle and clean.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
The exterior surfaces can be cleaned by regularly wiping with a soft cloth.
Any discoloration can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.
