2.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - WITHOUT A COMPUTER
To ensure the food always comes out the very best, follow the preparation instructions for the food
you are cooking. Using the best shortening makes the best fried foods. The best shortening will last
longer than lower grade shortening and save you money. When not in use, the shortening should be
cooled and covered to prevent contamination.
WARNING
Water and shortening DO NOT mix. Keep liquids away from hot shortening.
Dropping liquid frozen food into hot shortening will cause violent boiling and
may cause hot oil to boil out of the fryer.
2.2.1 Fryer Start-Up
DO NOT START FRYER WITHOUT FILLING WITH OIL!
a. Apply power to the fryer by closing the appropriate circuit breaker(s).
b. Turn the temperature control knob (thermostat) to the desired temperature setting. This
knob is located behind the front door(s) or on the front panel, depending on the model
fryer you have. If a melt cycle is desired, press the MELT ON side of the melt switch.
c. Turn the fryer on by pressing the START side of the OFF-ON-START switch and
release. The switch will snap back to the ON position. The HEATING ON light will be
on while the elements arc on.
d. MELTING SOLID SHORTENING - The melt cycle is designed to melt solid shortening
without scorching it. During melt the heating elements will cycle on for 4 seconds and
remain off for 26 seconds. This will heat the shortening slowly to 150°F (65°C). At
150°F the heating elements will remain on constantly until the shortening reaches the
thermostat setting. Anytime the shortening temperature is below 150°F, the melt cycle
will automatically be working. To turn the melt cycle off, press the MELT OFF side of
the Melt switch.
d. The temperature control system will maintain the shortening temperature at the desired
level by cycling the heating elements as necessary. The fryer is now ready for cooking.
