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. If solid shortening
is used, it is recommended that you use the melt cycle feature (optional) to melt the shortening. You
can melt solid shortening without the melt option, but you must 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". AL-
WAYS 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 shortening must be melted. To melt the
shortening refer to the Fryer Start-Up section for your fryer.
