SHORTENING LIFE (All Models)
Shortening life can be extended by following these guidelines:
• Do not salt foods over the fryer.
• Use good-quality shortening.
• Filter shortening daily (at a minimum).
• Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.
• Keep equipment and surroundings clean.
• Set thermostats correctly.
• Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing in fryer.
DAILY FILTERING
WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.
Filtering Guidelines (All Models)
• A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always filter shortening in a liquid state. The shortening under
the cold zone area will remain hard, even if the heat is on for a few minutes. If necessary, use
the clean-out rod to carefully stir the hard shortening to an area above the cold zone where it
will melt (Fig. 7).
• Filter shortening at least once a day.
