HIGH LIMIT DEVICE (All Models)
If the shortening becomes overheated, a high-temperature shutoff device will close the gas valve off
and extinguish the pilot. DO NOT relight the pilot until the shortening temperature is below 300°F
(149°C). If this situation persists, contact your local Hobart Service office.
DRAIN INTERLOCK (HGD and HGC Series)
Prevents the burners from operating when the drain valve is open.
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.
• Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing in fryer.
CLEANING (All Models)
WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.
Daily
• Clean all exterior surfaces of your fryer at least once daily.
• Use a damp cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
• Rinse thoroughly, then polish with a soft, dry cloth.
• Keep the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease to prevent stubborn stains from
forming. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.
• Remove discolorations by washing with any detergent or soap and water.
• Use a self-soaping nonmetallic scouring pad for particularly stubborn discolorations.
• Always rub with the grain of the stainless steel.
• Do not use a scouring pad or harsh cleaners on the keypad or display area.
• Cleaning instructions for fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer are covered in a separate
instruction manual. Follow the instructions accordingly.
