Chapter 2: Operating Instructions
This chapter describes how to operate your fryer to obtain the best performance. Included in this
chapter are filling, operating, and cleaning instructions for electric fryers.
2.1 FILLING THE FRYER
Both liquid and solid shortening can be used in the fryer, but liquid is preferred. If solid shortening
is used, it is recommended that you melt the shortening and then pour the melted shortening into the
fryer. If you must melt the shortening in the fryer follow step 2.1.2 for filling the fryer with solid
shortening.

2.1.2
Filling the Fryer With Liquid Shortening
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Fill the fryer with oil to the "Oil Level" line marked on the back
of the tank.
Filling the Fryer With Solid Shortening
Never melt blocks of solid shortening on top of the heating
elements. This will cause a fire, scorch the shortening, and
void your warranty.
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Pivot the heating elements up out of the way. Cut the shortening into cubes no larger than
1". ALWAYS pack the shortening below, between, and on top of the heating elements.
DO NOT leave any large air gaps. Use care when packing the solid shortening in the tank.
DO NOT bend or break the temperature sensor probes. If these are damaged, the fryer
will not function properly.
c. Lower the heating elements back into the fryer and continue packing the shortening
around and on top of the heating elements.
d. Once the fryer is packed with shortening, the shortening must be melted. To melt the
shortening refer to the Fryer Start Up section for your fryer.
