Unpacking the Fryer
1. Use a fork lift to transport the shipping crate
to the work station.
2. Break down the shipping crate.
3. Remove all the packing materials from the
fryer. These include foam, tape, brown
paper, plastic, and white protective coating.
4. Check the fryer carefully for any damage
that may have occurred during shipping.
File any claims with the shipping company.
5. Position the fryer to allow sufficient space
on either end of the machine for any
equipment you plan to use with it.
Initial Cleaning
Clean your fryer before using it. Wipe the inside
of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Dry the
kettle thoroughly.
WARNING
To avoid electrocuting yourself or
damaging the machine, never allow water,
steam, cleaning solution, or other liquid to
enter the heater head or the electrical box.
WARNING
Never let water and hot shortening come in
contact with each other. Moisture causes
hot shortening to spatter, which may cause
serious injury. Prior to use, make sure the
kettle and any other parts you have washed
are dry.
Installing the Fryer
1. Make sure the power requirements of the
machine, found on the data/name plate,
match your power source.
2. Set the fryer cabinet on a flat, dry counter or
table.
3. Level the fryer.
4. Connect the fryer to a properly grounded
power source. Do not turn on the power.
5. When first filling the kettle with shortening,
if a hydrogenated or semi-solid shortening is
used, melt some shortening and pour it into
the kettle.
6. Cover the elements, thermostat bulb and high
temperature limit control bulb with
shortening before turning on the power.
WARNING
Do not turn the thermostat above 250°F
until all the shortening has melted.
7. Due to the delicate mechanism of the
thermostat, it is possible for it to get out of
adjustment. If this occurs, recalibrate per the
instructions in section 4.
