3.2 Equipment Setup and Start-Up Procedures
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the
inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil
filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
CAUTION
The FQG60T FilterQuick
™
easyTouch
®
Series gas fryer is not intended to use solid
shortening without a solid shortening kit installed. Use only liquid shortening with this
fryer if a solid shortening kit is not installed. The use of solid shortening without a solid
shortening kit will clog the oil lines. The oil capacity of the FQG60T FilterQuick
™
fryer is
60 lbs. (7.93 gallons/30 liters) at 70°F (21°C).
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve(s) is/are
closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to the bottom
OIL-LEVEL line.
3.2.1 Setup
WARNING
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water
or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may cause
a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will
cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot
(see photo on the following page). This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do
not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.
