Close DRAIN VALVE (item 19) by turning the handle to the horizontal
(CLOSED) position.
IMPORTANT: Remember to fill the fryer to the COLD OIL LINE with
fresh shortening prior to turning the POWER SWITCH to the FRYER
position. Energizing the fryer without oil covering the elements will
cause serious damage. Damage caused by operating the fryer
without oil covering the elements is not covered by warranty.
Fill FRYPOT to the COLD OIL LINE in the FRYPOT with room
temperature commercial-quality LIQUID SHORTENING. This
requires 55lbs. of liquid shortening for non-solid shortening melt
optioned fryers, and either 55 lb. of liquid or solid shortening for fryers
with SOLID SHORTENING MELT OPTION. Solid shortening should
be packed around elements.
IMPORTANT:
This fryer is designed for
LIQUID SHORTENING ONLY.
DO NOT USE SOLID
SHORTENING.
DO NOT USE LARD.
Solid shortening will solidify in
the FILTER RESERVOIR and
FILTER PUMP. This condition
will render the filter system
inoperable. Do not attempt to
pump shortening unless it is
liquid shortening or shortening
melted to the liquid state.
Damage caused to attempts to
pump anything other than
shortening in the liquid state is
not covered under warranty.
WARNING:
SLIP/FALL HAZARD
CLOSE DRAIN VALVE BEFORE FILLING WITH OIL.
Unless drain valve is closed, oil poured into kettle will drain into
reservoir or onto the floor. Oil spill may occur.
Death or serious injury may result from slipping and falling in spilled oil.
