Setup
WARNING
Fill the frypot to the bottom OIL LEVEL line with vegetable oil before pressing the
ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. Failure to do so could damage the frypot.
1. Fill the frypot with vegetable oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the
bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. If solid shortening is used, pack solid
shortening into the cool-zone of the frypot. Continue to pack shortening in frypot to the bottom
OIL LEVEL line.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the
face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the vegetable oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the vegetable oil is at its
programmed cooking temperature. It may be necessary to add vegetable oil to bring the level up
to the proper mark, after the oil has reached the programmed cooking temperature. If solid
shortening is used, the MELT cycle MUST be used to melt the shortening. It may be necessary
to add solid shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark after the packed shortening has
melted. DO NOT DISABLE OR CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE UNTIL ALL SOLID
SHORTENING HAS MELTED.
Shutdown
1. Press the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position (the display will show "OFF").
2. Filter vegetable oil (if applicable) and clean fryers. See Chapter 7.
3. Place the frypot covers on frypots.
