FRY POT OIL CAPACITY: SELV14X, SELV14 = 30 lbs (13.6 kg)
SELV14TX,SELV14T = 16 lbs (6.8 kg)
It is recommended that a high quality liquid frying oil be used.
Solid shortening must not be used, or clogged pump lines, and pump damage
are possible
1. Verify that the tank interior is clean and free of any construction debris.
2. Rinse the tank and drain line with a small amount of clean cooking oil.
3. Ensure that the drain valve is closed.
4. Fill the tank with oil. You may fill the tank to the “MIN LEVEL” mark or slightly below the nominal
level mark: the oil will expand slightly when it heats up, raising the level slightly.
2.10 COOKINGGUIDELINES
Don’t over fill baskets. Filling baskets more than half full by volume may result in foaming over the top
of the fryer.
Don’t overload the fryer. The rated load is 1.5 pounds (.68 Kg) per basket, up to the maximum volume
fill noted above. Over filling baskets can cause uneven cooking, and result in oil foaming over the top of
the fryer.
Do not load the fry baskets over the frypot. Removing the baskets from the fryer to load food reduces
the need to filter.
CAUTION
Solid shortening must not be used,
or clogged pump lines, and pump damage are possible.
WARNING
Replace shortening that is smoking, or foams when cooking. Old shortenings have reduced flash
point, and are prone to surge boiling. Using old shortening may create dangerous conditions
WARNING
Do not overload the fry baskets, or allow the oil level to exceed the MAX line while cooking. Wet
product, or too much oil in the frypot can lead to surge boiling, and over topping the frypot.
