ADDING SHORTENING
Before placing shortening in tank, allow solid shortening to come to room temperature where the fryer
is located for one to two hours to soften the shortening.
CAUTION: Failure to remove crumb screens prior to addition of fresh solid shortening may
cause fryer side walls to overheat, allowing shortening to reach flashpoint.
Before adding all new shortening, drain old shortening and allow the tank to cool down to avoid
scorching new shortening.
1. Remove crumb screen.
2. Place solid shortening directly on the heating elements in the tank and slide back.
3. Place crumb screen on top of solid shortening.
Melt Cycle
When melting solid shortening, set temperature control at the desired frying temperature, turn the
power switch on, and place the F
RY / MELT switch on MELT. It will take approximately 45 minutes to
completely melt solid shortening. The heating elements cycle on and off until the shortening is melted
and a temperature of 135°F is achieved. After reaching 135°F (shortening is melted), the heaters stay
on continuously until the set temperature is reached.
EMPTY THE FRYMATE DRAIN PAN
Every 5 – 6 loads, the drain pan under the Frymate station
(Fig. 3) must be emptied and the oil must be discarded.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
The high limit control shuts down the fryer if a thermostat fails and the shortening becomes overheated.
The high limit control shuts down the fryer at 435°F which is 60 F° higher than the highest temperature
allowed by the temperature control when functioning properly.
In the event of a high limit shutdown, the entire control system will be put out of operation.
DO NOT attempt to restart the fryer until the shortening temperature has lowered to 350°F.
If this situation persists, do not attempt to bypass the High Limit. Shut down the fryer and contact your
local Hobart Service Office.
SHORTENING MAINTENANCE
Shortening life may be extended by following these guidelines . . .
• Do not salt foods over the fryer.
• Use good quality shortening.
• Filter shortening daily at a minimum.
• Keep equipment and surroundings clean.
• Do not set thermostats at excessively high temperatures.
• Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing in fryer.
• Dip out several cups of shortening from the fry tank every day and replace with fresh shortening.
