WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
CAUTION
If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section 4.11
on page 4-16 for the boil-out procedure.
CAUTION
The cooking oil capacity of the Protector™ Series gas fryer is 32 lbs. (3.8
gallons/14.5 liters) at 70°F (21°C) for a full-vat.
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve(s)

the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
3.2.1 Setup
WARNING
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with wa-
ter or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may
cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will
cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The Protector™ is not intended to use solid shortening. Use only liquid shortening
with this fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the top off oil lines.
