5. “Ove
rheat” Signal Red Light illuminates when the heating elements are overheated.
C. Operating Tips
WARNING:
KEEP THE SHORTENING LEVEL
ABOVE THE HEATING ELEMENTS.
Failure to do this will result in overheating
of the element sheaths and possible
flash fire if shortening is splashed.
1. De-energize deep fryer at the end of each day’s operation.
2. Do not leave deep fryer in operation without an attendant.
3. Turn thermostat dial down to 250°F (121.1 °C) or turn off during idle periods.
4. As the shortening is being used, it is wearing out, consequently, the flash point (the temperature at which fire
may result by overheating of the shortening) becomes lower. Replace old shortening with new when:
• it begins bubbling excessively without food immersed,
• it tastes of foreign flavors, or
• gummy film collects on fry baskets.
5. Keep the exterior of the fry kettle clean of splashed grease.
6. Swing-up element assembly contains all heating elements and temperature controls. Do not lift heating
element assembly out of the shortening when the power switch is on Turn the thermostat dial to “OFF” before
lifting the heating elements out of the shortening.
The element assembly may be lifted and held out of the shortening by engaging the support bar against
the stop pins. Refer to Figure 3-3.
CAUTION:
Do not drop the heating elements into the fry pot.
Lower slowly so as to prevent splatter of hot shortening.
7. Shortening expansion is approximately 15% of capacity from room temperature to 400°F (204.4°C).
