OPERATION
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Overheated oil or oil vapors can ignite causing a fire. Monitor
oil temperature, quality and level. Use and maintain oil vapor
removal system.
Heat oil carefully. If oil smokes, reduce heat. Do not leave unit
unattended. If fire occurs, turn unit off, cover until cool. Do not
put water on hot or flaming oil. Do not operate with oil below
low oil mark. Dirty oil has a lower flash point. Replace oil on a
regular basis. Maintain correct oil level. Use an oil vapor
removal system (hood) to red.uce oil and grease buildup on
wall or ceiling surfaces
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Hot surfaces and food can burn skin. Allow the hot surfaces to
cool before handling. Do not drop or spill water onto the
cooking surface as it can spray or splatter.
Follow these same instructions for each well of a two well unit. Each
well operates independently and may be operated at different
temperatures.
1. Remove basket(s) from fryer.
2. Fill or add oil/solid shorting to the well. Always maintain oil level
between High Oil Level and Low Oil Level as indicated on the side of
the well. DO NOT overfill.
3. Turn the dial to desired temperature; the pilot light indicates when
the elements are energized. If using lard or solid type oil is pulse the
equipment in 1 to 2 minute on and off cycles at low-med
temperature until liquid covers the heating coils. This reduces
smoking and risk of fire.
4. Allow the unit to preheat and the oil to come up to cooking
temperature, approximately 15 minutes. The pilot light will cycle
when the oil has reached the set temperature.
5. Load each basket; NEVER more that half way full.
6. Carefully lower the basket into the cooking oil.
7. When removing the basket from the oil, allow the excess oil to drain
back into the well before transferring to holding area.
Oil Tips
• Use high quality oil.
• Cook at temperatures that are recommended by food manufacture.
• Change oil as needed or food quality requires.
• Skim oil often and filter daily.
• Cover oil overnight.
