35 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4. To melt solid shortening without scorching, the burner should be turned ON for about three seconds and
OFF for about 10 seconds; alternate until melted. If any smoke is seen during this process, the oil is
heating too quickly and scorching. This melting process is not necessary with liquid shortening.
3.4 Shutting the Fryer Down
For short-term shut down during the workday, place the fryer’s gas valve in the Pilot position and put the
frypot covers in place (if the fryer is so equipped).
When shutting the fryers down at closing time, place the fryer power switch in the OFF position, place the
gas valve in the OFF position, and put the frypot covers in place (if the fryer is so equipped).
3.5 Thermostats
The centerline thermostat on a MJ35 is connected to a
temperature knob. On the standard model, the knob is
attached directly to the thermostat (see photo above). On
the G-series MJ35, a flexible shaft connects the thermo-
stat to a knob mounted on the control panel (see photo at
right. Rotating the knob on either model to the desired
cooking temperature (setpoint) directly adjusts the ther-
mostat control to that temperature.
The thermostat knob on the G-series fryer is
flush mounted on an exterior control panel.
The knob is connected to the frypot-mounted
thermostat by a flexible shaft.
