3.1 Start-Up Procedure
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 3.2,
Boil-Out Procedure.
CAUTION
The cooking oil/shortening capacity of the H50 Series fryer is 50 lbs. (25 liters) at
70ºF (21ºC) for a full-vat and 25 lbs. (12.5 liters) at 70ºF (21ºC) for each half of a
dual-vat.
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve(s)
is/are closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to
the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
If solid shortening is being used, make sure it is packed down into the bottom of the
frypot.
WARNING
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with wa-
ter or cooking oil/shortening before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will dam-
age the frypot and may cause a fire.
