Before Use

Check that the gas supply is turned on.
2.
Check that no foreign articles are in the tank.
Filling the Tank
NOTE: WALDORF 'FAST-FRI HPO' fryers can be used with both oil and shortening.
1.
Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve behind the door is closed. A locking slide is
provided on the valve and this should always be locked in position during use.
a.
OIL
- Carefully fill fryer pan with oil until the 'FILL-LEVEL' mark is reached.
The FN8130GHPO
fryers will hold 31 litres of oil. (46.5 lbs shortening).
b.
SHORTENING
- Ideally shortening should be pre-melted prior to putting it into the tank. This is
normally done in a suitable vessel on a boiling table burner(s). The liquefied shortening can then
be poured into the tank until it reaches the 'FILL LEVEL' mark.
•
When pre-melting shortening, only heat until the shortening is just liquefied.
Do not bring
up to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous
.
•
If pre-melting of shortening is not possible then the shortening should be cut in pieces and
packed down into the tank.
•
Bringing the shortening up to frying temperature, when not pre-melting, should be done in
two stages.
