Solid Fat
G3840X/G3840FX Only – For first use it is recommended that the solid fat is pre-melted before being
added to the fry pot.
If solid fat is to be used, remove fish plate and cut fat into small pieces. Place 17kg in fry pot and pack
it down.
Position fry plate upon fat and push front end into it lightly until front edge is below temperature probe.
Ensure FAT MELT CYCLE is selected for this process.
Note - Fry plate will lower slowly into fry pot as solid fat melts.
WARNING
If fish plate does not sit flat, lift plate from centre slightly and lower carefully to
ensure that no splashing of hot shortening occurs.
Check that correct shortening level is achieved when all solid fat has melted.
Required temperature may then be set.
Solid fat should always be heated this way to prevent overheating and burning.
WARNING
It is dangerous to use shortening that is too old. Such shortening has a reduced
flash point temperature and is prone to surge boiling.
CAUTION
To prevent surge boiling. DO NOT EXCEED recommended loads or charge
pan with over-wet food items. NEVER leave a working appliance
unattended.
10.0 COOKING HINTS
Frying food involves many variables and the following information is a guide only.
1.
Ensure frying medium is clean and free of debris.
2.
When topping up with oil, ensure oil level does not exceed -MIN- line when cold and -MAX-
line when hot.
3.
Never overfill baskets with food product.
Warning (G3840X/G3840FX only)
Do not pour food stuffs directly onto the oil level sensor guard, as this may
affect the performance of the oil level sensor.
4.
Filter oil as often as possible. This can be done when oil temperature is below 180°C.
5.
It is advised that a skimmer should be used continuously between frying batches to remove
any floating debris. Failure to do this may result in the oil becoming bitter to taste.
6.
During quiet spells, it is recommended that thermostat is turned down to a lower setting.
This will conserve energy in addition to extending expected oil life.
7.
To ensure a good eating experience, fry food as close to serving time as possible.
8.
After serving and when fryer has been turned off,
replace lid to ensure that no foreign
bodies can contaminate frying medium.
