2.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure the food always comes out the very best, follow the preparation instructions for the food
you are cooking. Using the best shortening makes the best fried foods. The best shortening will last
longer than lower grade shortening and save you money. When not in use the shortening should be
cooled and covered to prevent contamination.
CAUTION
The fryer has been installed using restraining devices to prevent accidental
tipping or movement. Do not attempt to move the fryer when it has hot liquid
in it. Splashing hot liquids can cause severe burns.
WARNING
Water and shortening DO NOT mix. Keep liquids away from hot shortening.
Dropping liquid frozen food into the hot shortening will cause violent boiling.
2.2.1 Fryer Start-Up
DO NOT START FRYER WITHOUT FILLING WITH OIL!
a. Light the pilot light as described in section 1.5.2.
b. Turn the temperature control knob (thermostat) to the desired temperature setting. This
knob is located behind the front doors or on the front control panel.
c. The main burners will light.
2.2.2 Melting Solid Shortening

The melting procedure below requires cycling of the fryer. Watch carefully
for smoke. If smoke is noticed, the shortening is scorching. To prevent this,
decrease the time you leave the burners on.

b. Set thermostat to 150°F.
c. Allow main burners to fire for approximately four (4) seconds.
