Installation Instructions

Remove all packaging and tape prior to operation
Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use.
Check rating label for your model designation & electrical rating. Consult with your electrician before using any electrical equipment.
For best results, use stainless steel countertops that are even and free of debris/liquids.
Place the fryer in a protected location on a level, sufficiently stable base or table, where it cannot be knocked off. The base or table must be strong enough to support the fryer when full of oil.
Remove the tank cover and accessories from the unit.
For shipping purposes, the Power Head is oriented on the drain side of the tank. To set up for use, orient the power head to sit centered of the back rim of the tank (side opposite of the drain). Ensure the head is correctly seated on the rim to engage the Power Head Safety Switch. The unit will not operate if the Safety Switch is not depressed.

Operating Instructions

All food service equipment should be operated by trained personnel. Improper use of fryers can result in serious injury or death, since temperatures reach in excess of 350°F.
Do not allow your customers to come into contact with any part of the fryer.
Before operating, check to ensure your power supply is correct to match the data plate.
Once the fryer is installed on a level surface and connected to a power source, add oil to the oil pot.
- A) DO NOT fill above the max fill line. It is recommended to start at the MIN line and then add more if needed to prevent any chances of overfill. DO NOT overfill the tank, as overfillng could result in a dangerous situation.
With the oil in the pot, turn the fryer ON using the switch and turn temperature knob to desired temperature. When the desired temperature has been reached, the yellow “Hot Light” will turn off and cycle, and the temperature controller will maintain the temperature automatically.
Allow the Fryer 30-45 min to reach desired temp.
Do not overload the pot with product.
Drop the corn dogs individually, or use the skewer clip, in slowly and fry for desired time.
If using tongs to separate product, you must also wear high heat gloves to prevent burns.
Once product is done, lift the skewer clips using the Bakelite handles and place onto a grease tray to drain the additional grease of the product.

Note: To help maintain oil quality, periodically skim off excess batter (food) particles. Important Operating Information and Quality Control Tips:

Don’t overheat. Don’t fry if the oil temperature exceeds 400°F.
Don’t waste money. Use only high quality heavy duty frying shortening.
Don’t fry food in broken-down frying shortening. Broken down oil is thinned, darkened.
Don’t overload the frying pot.
Don’t fill the basket more than half full.
Don’t shake breaded items over fryer.
Don’t salt items over fryer.
Don’t introduce water to fryer.
Don’t thaw frozen foods before frying.

Cleaning

Always turn unit OFF and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
Never clean unit by immersing it in water.
Drain all the oil, after cooled, using the front drain into a pan large enough to hold 5 gallons of oil. Oil should be drained nightly at a minimum and more depending on frequency of use.
Remove the protective bottom grate with tongs. Do not touch oil with your hands.
Gently lift up electrical box unit from back of machine. This will remove the element from the frying oil. The microswitch on the bottom of the electrical box unit will automatically cut off power in case electric plug is not removed from power supply. Place this in a clean dry place.
Gently wash the element with soap and warm water. Use a soft sponge. Never use harsh chemicals or metal scrubbers to clean the element.
Gently wash oil tank with soap and water, dry it thoroughly.
Replace the Electrical box and element lining it up and ensure that everything has been wiped dry.
For a deep clean, we recommend using Noble Chemical Fryclone Fryer Boil-Out (see product instructions).
Turn the unit off.
Rinse with clean water to remove all cleaning mixture.
Rinse the inside of the tank with 2 cups of vinegar.
Rinse with clean water until the vinegar odor is gone. The fry tank must be thoroughly rinsed since even a trace of cleaner left inside the tank will contaminate the fry compound.
Dry thoroughly.
Cover the fryer tank with the night cover when the unit is not in use.
Clean all exterior surfaces of unit on a regular basis with a damp cloth.
To remove discolorations or oil film, a non-abrasive cleaner may be used such as Noble’s 147QUIKSAN.
