Operation 2
Taking Safety Precautions
In a prominent location, post information about
what to do if there is a gas leak. Make sure that
all employees know what to do.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of fire, explosion,
property damage, serious burns, and even
death, never store gasoline or any other
flammable liquid or vapor near the fryer.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, if you
smell gas or suspect a gas leak, proceed as
follows: 1. Turn off the gas. 2. Evacuate
the building. 3. Do not touch any electrical
switch or telephone until you are sure no
spilled gas remains.
Frying Donuts
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, before
you begin working, make sure that there is
no combustible material in the area of the
fryer.
Read each step completely before doing what it
tells you to do.
1. If you are frying yeast-raised donuts, install
the proofer or feed table. Refer to the
proofer or feed table manual for complete
installation and operation instructions.
2. Make sure the drain valve is closed.
3. Put enough shortening in the kettle to
completely cover the burner tubes,
thermocouple, and high-temperature limit
control probe.
Put shortening in the kettle using one of
these methods:
• If you have a Belshaw Shortening Melter
(FM) attached to the fryer, use the FM to
melt shortening and transfer it to the
kettle. See the FM manual.
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
• Melt shortening in a pan on the stove
and pour it into the kettle.
• Put solid shortening into the kettle,
packing it tightly around the burner
tubes.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
CAUTION
To avoid severe damage to the kettle, never
turn on the heat unless the heat tubes are
completely covered by liquid.
