Chapter 2: Operating Instructions
This chapter describes how to operate your fryer to obtain the best performance. Included in this
chapter are filling, operating, and cleaning instructions for gas fryers.
2.1 FILLING THE FRYER
Both liquid and solid shortening can be used in the fryer, but liquid is preferred. To melt solid
shortening, carefully follow the instruction in section 2.2.2.
2.1.1 Filling the Fryer With Liquid Shortening
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Fill the fryer with oil to the "Oil Level" line marked
on the back of the tank.
2.1.2 Filling the Fryer With Solid Shortening
WARNING
Never melt blocks of solid shortening on top of the burner
tubes. This will cause a fire and will void your warranty.
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Remove the screen covering the tubes.
c. Cut the shortening into cubes no larger than 1".
ALWAYS pack the shortening below, between,
and on top of the burner tubes. DO NOT leave any
large air gaps. Use care when packing the solid
shortening in the tank. DO NOT bend or break the
temperature sensor probes. If these are damaged
the fryer will not function properly.
d. Once the fryer is packed with shortening, the short-
ening must be melted. To melt the shortening, refer
to Fryer Start-Up, section 2.2.1, and Melting Solid
Shortening, section 2.2.2.
