Using the Fryer for the First Time
Before lighting the pilot, fill the frypot with frying
compound. en light the pilot according to the
instructions inside the fryer compartment on the inner
panel. If you are using a cooking oil, you may now
turn the main burner on by turning the knob on the
automatic gas valve. If you use a hydrogenated (solid)
frying compound, it is wise to melt it in a stock pot on
the range before putting it in the fryer. If this is not done,
pack the frypot with the compound and turn the main
burner on for a few seconds and turn it off for a few. See
the lighting and shut-down instructions for “How to turn
on the main burner once the pilot is lighted.”
Intervals of about three seconds on and ten seconds off
are about right. Keep doing this until the shortening is
melted. If any smoke is seen during this process, you
are heating too fast and scorching the shortening, thus
cutting down its useful life and possible damaging the
frypot. Shortening level must cover the thermostat bulbs
when fryer is in operation.
After turning the main burner on, set the thermostat
at ° to check calibration of the thermostat. Let the
burner cycle at least four times and suspend a deep fat
fryer thermometer in the middle of the frypot about ”
deep. When the burner just comes on after the fourth
cycle, the reading on the thermostat should agree with
the thermostat setting. If not, calibrate the thermostat
