LJS 24G SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 5: DAILY OPERATION/FILTRATION
5.1 OPENING
At opening, check the fryer for:
1. Combination or main gas valve "OFF".
2. Power Switch "OFF" (If so equipped).
For lighting the fryer, see Section 4.2 (Section 4.3 if equipped with Electronic Ignition).
5.2 GENERAL OPERATIONS STATEMENT
See the LJS Operations Manual for operating instructions prior to using the LJS 24G Series
gas fryer. Operating instructions in this chapter are intended for temporary use as a guide
in absence of the LJS Operations Manual.
5.3 FILTERING
Shortening should be filtered at least daily, or more frequently if cooking is heavy. This assures the
longest life possible for the shortening, imparts a better flavor to the product and minimizes flavor
transfer. To ensure shortening quality, filtering and daily maintenance should be performed
according to LJS Operations: Shortening Rotation System.
WARNING
LEAVE FRYER OFF FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO FILTERING TO
ALLOW FRYPOT HEAT TO DISSIPATE. FRYPOT DAMAGE CAN OCCUR IF THE
SHORTENING IS DRAINED IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING FRYER OFF.
WARNING
WHEN OPERATING THE FILTRATION SYSTEM, NEVER LEAVE THE FILTER
UNATTENDED. THE ACTION OF THE SHORTENING MOVING THROUGH THE HOSE
LINES COULD JOLT A FLEXIBLE RETURN HOSE OUT OF THE FILTER PAN,
SPRAYING HOT SHORTENING AND CAUSING SEVERE BURNS.
DANGER
THE CRUMB TRAY IN FRYERS EQUIPPED WITH A FILTER SYSTEM MUST BE
EMPTIED INTO A FIREPROOF CONTAINER AT THE END OF FRYING OPERATIONS
EACH DAY. SOME FOOD PARTICLES CAN SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST IF LEFT
SOAKING IN CERTAIN SHORTENING MATERIAL.
