Hobart HP15E Fryer User Manual


 
– 18 –
10. The heat light and the heating elements will continue to cycle on and off and product will continue
to cook until the audible tone sounds at the end of the cooking cycle. Pressure will automatically
begin to release 45 to 60 seconds prior to the audible tone sounding. The selected program key
will flash.
11. At the end of the frying cycle, the audible tone will sound and continue sounding until turned off
manually. Press the flashing program key to silence the audible tone.
12. When the pressure gauge reads 0 and the lid lock releases, turn the handle counterclockwise
until it stops before opening the lid. CAUTION: Seal damage can occur if the handle is not
completely unscrewed. Do not force the lid to open.
When loading and unloading product, always swing the lid to the side. Do not raise the lid.
13. Using insulated mitts, grasp the basket handle and raise the frying basket out of the oil. Hang the
basket on the lip of the kettle. Allow food to drain approximately 20 to 25 seconds. Remove the
food and return the basket to the oil. It is not necessary to turn the fryer off for unloading. Allow
the kettle to recover and maintain the oil temperature, and mimimize the time between loads.
14. It is advisable to inspect the first load. If preparing unusually large pieces, or if product is only
partially thawed, it may be necessary to increase cooking time (not temperature) to compensate.
Turning the Fryer Off
When the display shows idLE, turn the power switch to OFF.
Extended Shutdown
1. When the display shows idLE, turn the power switch to OFF.
2. Clean the fryer following the instructions in the CLEANING section of this manual. The solenoid
assembly must be cleaned thoroughly and routinely.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, turn the power switch to OFF. After the pressure gauge indicates 0, open
the kettle lid and remove the basket. If interrupted, the program will automatically cancel after 60
seconds of power loss.
Repeat all startup procedures upon resumption of electrical service. The controller resets to its wake-
up mode, and can be restarted by turning the power switch to ON and allowing the fryer to cycle through
its automatic preheat stage.
FOOD PREPARATION
Pressure frying seals in the natural moisture of food products and uses 30% less frying oil. It should
be remembered, however, that no food prepared in the Hobart pressure fryer will be any better than the
quality of the product purchased.
Trim excess skin and fat from product. Coat with your preferred breading. Allow the breading to set
up (become sticky) before frying; this takes about 20 minutes. If breading is not allowed to set up, it
may wash off in the hot oil.
