OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING
Take out baskets, push down and hold element catch, located on left side of element housing. Lift up
on element lift handle until elements lock in a vertical position, and remove kettle. The kettle can be
cleaned in a sink like any other pot or container.
ADDING FAT
Replace kettle and swing the element down by holding element lift handle and pushing release catch
down and holding it there. Lower element. Fryer is now ready for use. Add fat. A fat level line on the
rear of the kettle will guide you in determining the minimum cold fat level. A higher fat level can be
used when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or sh cakes. The fat level should be chosen carefully
so that the foaming action of the fat does not spill out of the kettle. If solid shortening is used, pack
carefully around the elements. TMFE15 has one single 15lbs capacity kettle, TMFE30 has two.
CONTROLS
1. ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-pole switch which turns
power on or off.
2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this control allows you to select
the desired frying temperature. A signal light indicates when the element is on. When the light
goes off, the desired temperature has been reached.
3. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450°F (230°C), this control will shut
off the power. The light on the control panel will go out. The fat temperature must cool to
400°F (202.4°C) and the manual reset button located on the back panel of the control housing
must be pressed to restore operation. Should the hi-limit control activate twice in succession,
the primary thermostat should be checked for malfunction by a qualied service technician.
FRYING
After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200°F (92.4°C). After the fat
has melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting. Included in this instruction booklet is a frying
chart and some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected fat temperature has been reached, the
signal light goes out. Slowly lower half lled baskets into the fat. Do not overload baskets as this
causes foods to be improperly fried. When moist food is lowered too quickly into hot fat, the fat will
foam and spatter excessively.
NOTE: Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying cycle. The kettle handles serve as
basket hangers.
IDLING
During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 200°F (92.4°C). The fast recovery fryers
can be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes. Lowering the temperature during idle
periods saves energy costs and prolongs fat life. To turn off fryer turn the on/off switch to the "off"
position.
DRAINING KETTLE
Turn switch to "OFF". Remove baskets. Raise element to the rst stop and allow to drain. Raise the
element to the vertical position and siphon the oil out of the kettle.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KETTLE FILLED WITH HOT OIL. CONTACTING HOT
OIL CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES OR DEATH.
If you do not have a siphon, order one from your dealer or dip the oil out and strain into a
container. After oil has been removed, remove the kettle and clean.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
The exterior surfaces can be cleaned by regularly wiping with a soft cloth. Any discoloration can be
removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.
