3-1. OPERATING COMPONENTS (Continued)
High Temperature Limit This is a safety component that senses the temperature of the
shortening; if the temperature of the shortening exceeds 420°F
(212°C), this control opens and shuts off the heat to the frypot;
when the temperature of the shortening drops to a safe operation
limit, the control must be manually reset by pressing the red reset
button, located under the control panel, in the right, front of the
fryer
Air Valve Pumps air into the shortening, periodically, to keep the shortening at
a uniform temperature; this only functions when the unit has been
sitting idle for a period of time, and when heating from a cold start

When hot shortening is in this pan, use extreme care to
