FRYING
Place the ON-OFF switch to the ON position. The red ON indicator light will come on.
Turn thermostat or temperature controller to desired temperature. The amber HEAT indicator light will
come on.
When the shortening temperature reaches the set temperature, the amber HEAT light will go off. The
heating elements (and the amber HEAT light) will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
Pieces of product to be fried should be about the same size to ensure uniform doneness.
Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into the hot oil.
Fill frying baskets half full. Do not overfill baskets.
Carefully lower baskets into oil.
When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake basket several times in a way that does not splatter
the shortening.
Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use
the basket, first dip basket into the shortening to reduce batter build-up on basket surfaces.
When frying is completed, remove baskets or product. Hang baskets to drain on rear basket hangers.
Remove food and season it. Do not salt food over the shortening because salt will cause a chemical
change in the oil.
Add fresh shortening as needed. Shortening should be between 1 and 2 inches above the heating
elements.
TURNING THE FRYER OFF
To turn the fryer OFF, place the ON-OFF switch to the OFF position.
Extended Shutdown
Place ON-OFF switch to OFF. Turn thermostat knob to OFF. Apply a thin film of cooking oil to tank
interior and tank back to inhibit rust.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
If the shortening becomes overheated, or if the heating elements are not covered with shortening, the
high limit control will shut down the entire control system and the fryer will be inoperable.
If the heating elements are not covered with shortening, add shortening until the level is 1 or 2 inches
above the top of the heating elements. When the temperature of the shortening returns to normal
(300°F), manually reset the circuit breakers (located behind the fryer door on floor model fryers and
behind the lower panel on countertop fryers).
If the high limit control continues to shut the fryer down, contact your local Hobart service office.
