FRYING
After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 00° F (9.4°
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 00° F (9.4° 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.
DRAINING KETTLE
Turn switch to "OFF". Remove baskets. 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. 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.
