Pre-Heating
NOTE: When pre-melting shortening, only heat the shortening until it is just liquefied. Do not bring
the shortening up to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous.
If pre-melting of shortening is not possible, carefully cut the shortening in to small pieces and
pack into the tank.
Light main burners and manually cycle burners On/Off until shortening has liquefied. Ideally
main burners should be cycled On for 5 seconds and Off for 10 seconds. Repeat the cycle
until all the shortening is melted. Following this procedure should allow shortening to liquefy
gradually without scorching. Once shortening has liquefied, it can be brought up to fryer
operating temperature.
To speed up this process, break up the shortening and stir carefully during the melting
process. Add more shortening until the tank is filled to the level marked on the tank side.
Refer to Fig 4 above.
NOTE: Running burners continuously will cause shortening in contact with the tank to overheat,
resulting in premature oil breakdown. Never allow shortening to smoke while melting as
this indicates that the temperature is too high. If shortening starts smoking, increase main
burner 'Off' intervals.

1. Rotate gas control knob to Pilot position and hold knob
depressed.
2. At the same time hold flame failure button depressed.
3. Depress piezo igniter until right hand pilot ignites.
4. Hold gas control knob and flame failure button depressed
for approx. 10 to 15 seconds after igniting pilot burner,
then release, both pilot burners should remain alight.

1. Rotate gas control knob to the position marked 'PILOT'
and hold depressed.
2. Depress the piezo igniter until pilot ignites.
3. Continue holding the gas control knob depressed for
approx. 10 to 15 seconds after igniting pilot burner, pilot
burner should remain alight.
4. If pilot burner does not ignite, repeat Items 1 to 3 above.
