ADDING SOLID SHORTENING
If replacing shortening, place the block of shortening in the room with the fryer for 1 to 2 hours before
using. This will soften the shortening and make it easier to divide.
CAUTION: Failure to remove crumb screens prior to addition of fresh shortening may cause
fryer side walls to overheat, allowing shortening to reach flashpoint.
After draining shortening, allow the tank to cool down before adding all new shortening to avoid
scorching new shortening.
