LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wait 5 minutes before relighting pilot.
2. Open front door.
3. Turn thermostat to “OFF” position.
4. Turn valve knob to “PILOT.” Push knob in completely. Light pilot through opening on front of unit. Hold button in for sixty seconds or until pilot remains lit.
5. Check if drain valve is in closed position.
6. Add liquid fat as required.
7. Turn valve knob to “ON.” Set thermostat to desired temperature.
8. To turn all gas off to valve control and to pilot, turn valve knob to “OFF” position (complete shutdown).

TO ADJUST PILOT

1. Open the front door panel.
2. Turn the adjustment screw to the right or left to decrease or increase pilot flame. (Flame must surround thermocouple tips by approximately 1/2″ (1.2cm)

THERMOSTAT RECALIBRATION

1.  To determine whether or not the thermostat should be recalibrated, use an accurate thermometer located approximately in the center of the kettle with the bulb 1″ (2.4cm) below the top of the fat.
2. Set thermostat to 350°F (177° C) and check the thermometer reading when burner flame goes off. Temperature should be approximately 5°F (3°C) less than the thermostat dial setting.
3. If not:
4. Without disturbing thermostat, pull knob forward and remove from shaft.
5. Turn screw in center of shaft clockwise to decrease temperature or counterclockwise to increase temperature. NOTE: 1/4 turn of this screw will result in a change of approximately 30°F (17°C).
6. Replace knob.
7. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until correct.

HIGH LIMIT THERMOSTAT

• These units are equipped with a manual reset high temperature limit type thermostat. This thermostat will shut off the electric current to the magnetic gas valve, which shuts off the gas if the fat temperature reaches 450°F (232°C). The fryer will not operate until the red reset button is pushed in.
• Should the high temperature limit thermostat operate, the temperature regulating thermostat should be checked for malfunctions. The high limit thermostat is located inside the fryer to your right and can be reached when the door is open.
  • DO NOT REMOVE FEET!
  • DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY KETTLE.
• CAUTION
  • HOT FAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT COME IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FAT.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. CLEAN KETTLE thoroughly before using. Remove baskets and crumb tray. Clean protective oil from interior of kettle with warm water & mild detergent. Drain through valve in bottom and rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry completely before filling with oil.

2. DRAIN VALVE – Make certain it is closed before adding fat.

3. ADD FAT – A fat level line on the rear of the kettle will guide you in determining the minimum fat level (12″ fryers have a 15 lb. (6.8kg) fat capacity, 24″ fryers have a 30  lb. (13.6kg) fat capacity). If solid fat is used, pack the solid fat carefully to the sides and bottom of the kettle before turning the temperature control knob to the “ON” position.A higher fat level can be used when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or fish cakes. The level should be chosen carefully so that the foaming action does not spill out of the kettle.

4. Turn the valve knob to “ON” position.

5. TEMPERATURE CONTROL – The thermostat is a combination switch and heat control. The “OFF” position will turn off the electric current which closes the gas valve. With the fat in the kettle. Solid fat must be carefully packed to the sides and bottom of the kettle) turn the thermostat knob to 200° F (93°C).

6. Place the crumb tray in the kettle when the fat has melted.

7. Turn the thermostat knob to the desired frying temperature. DO NOT FRY MORE FOOD PER BATCH THAN YOU CAN FRY EFFICIENTLY – Too much food per batch causes excessive temperature drop, wastes fat, and nothing is gained in capacity.

8. LOWERING BASKET – When the fat has reached the proper temperature, lower the basket and food slowly into the fat. When moist food is lowered too quickly into hot fat, the fat will foam and spatter excessively.

9. DRAIN – After the food has finished frying, raise the baskets and hang them on the handles of the kettle. Allow excess fat to drain back into the kettle.

10.  IDLING – During idle periods, lower the temperature setting of the thermostat to approximately 200° F (93°C). It is not necessary to maintain full cooking temperature during idle periods, for the fat can be reheated quickly to the desired temperature. This procedure will result in longer fat life and less gas consumption.
    NOTE: See the Handy Frying Chart for recommended temperature and time required to properly fry various foods as well as procedures and coating suggestions.

11. TO TURN THE FRYER OFF – Turn the thermostat dial knob counterclockwise to the “OFF” position. The pilot will remain lit.

12. STRAINING FAT – Wait until fat is warm before straining fat. Slip filter bag over end of drain valve nipple and tie in place with a bow knot so it will not slide off. Place a receptacle under bag and slowly open drain valve. When the kettle is empty, use a small pot to pour hot oil vigorously around sides, tubes and bottom of kettle to wash out crumbs, etc. Continue to pour until all crumbs, etc. are washed into filter bag. Remove filter bag and wash for next use. Close drain valve, and pour fat back into kettle.

13. TO DRAIN KETTLE – Turn thermostat dial to the “OFF” position. Remove baskets. Drain fat from kettle only when fat is warm and liquid. A cold fryer heated up will not drain properly. Use a stick, if necessary, to stir up cold fat in bottom of kettle. Remove crumb tray.

14. CLEANING THE EXTERIOR – The exterior surfaces can be kept clean and attractive by regularly wiping with a clean soft cloth. Any discoloration can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.

15. REASSEMBLING – After the kettle has been cleaned and the fryer body wiped off, replace crumb tray.

16. OVERNIGHT SHUTDOWN – Turn knob on combination control to the “PILOT” position. This will maintain the safety pilot and also prevent any gas from reaching the main burner. To activate unit, turn the combination control knob to the “ON” position.

17. COMPLETE SHUTDOWN – Turn valve knob to “OFF” position.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE RESET BUTTON OR KNOB ON THE VALVE CONTROL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

CAUTION

CAUTIONS FOR ALL DEEP FAT FRYERS
NEVER LEAVE AN OPERATING FRYER UNATTENDED REMEMBER HOT OIL IS DANGEROUS – RESPECT IT!

WARNING – INSTALLATION

•  Locate your fryer in a protected place so that it cannot be tipped over or knocked off its support. A mechanical restraint should be installed to prohibit the fryer from tipping or moving. Consult your local codes for allowable methods of restraint.
•  Install an automatic fire extinguisher over the fryer and in the exhaust duct.
•  Be sure your power supply is installed properly and in accordance with the local and national codes.
•  Install a shut-off switch or gas valve close to the fryer. It must turn off the fryer immediately.
•  Failure to add a mechanical restraint can result in oil splashing out and contacting the skin, leading to serious injury or death!

WARNING – HOT OIL

• Hot oil is dangerous – Severe burns can result when hot oil contacts the skin.
• Hot oil is flammable – Keep open flames away from hot oil and its vapors.
• Never allow water or ice to get in hot oil. IT CAN EXPLODE!

WARNING – ENVIRONMENT

• Keep your floors clean and free of grease and all other substances so no one slips accidentally and contacts the hot fryer.
• Keep areas and filters clean above your fryers – Oil soiled lint or dust can ignite easily and flames will spread rapidly.

WARNING – MAINTENANCE

• Have your equipment checked regularly to insure its safe and properly functioning.
• If your fryer starts to smoke or boil abnormally, cut off the power supply immediately and determine the reason for the smoking or boiling before attempting to use it again.

WARNING – TRAINING

• Train all personnel to understand the hazards of hot oil. Instruct them on the proper action to take if something does not seem to be acting properly.
• Instruct your personnel on what to do if there is an oil fire. Do not use water on an oil fire! Use only fire extinguishers of the approved type and never direct such extinguishers so as to blow the oil out of the oil container.
•  Inappropriate use due to a lack of common sense may result in product damage or personal injury.

CARE OF FAT

• In three to six months you may spend as much for fat as you paid for your kettle. So fat is an item you want to know all about; how to select it; how to manage it. The more production you can get from each pound of fat, the more profitable your frying operation will be.
• To get a high rate of production per pound of fat you have to avoid two things. One is early breakdown and spoilage of the compound so that you have to throw it away before it does enough work to “earn its keep.” The other is excessive sponging up of fat by the food being fried.
• The main cause of fat breakdown is excessive heat. On the other hand abnormal absorption is caused by frying too long at too low temperatures. One answer to both problems is exact control of heat — so that fat neither smokes up nor soaks up.
• Of course, no fat “keeps” forever. Not only heat, but air and moisture, salt particles and crumbs of food work to break it down. But you can slow up fat de-terioration by maintaining proper temperatures and by draining your kettle, filtering or straining the fat once or twice a day and by keeping the kettle itself absolutely clean.
• A number of commercial devices and materials are available to aid in eliminating fat impurities. There are several excellent models of pressure filters as well as strainer-type filters, which, if used regularly, will prolong life of fat.
• However, no purification device will renew broken down or rancid fat or put new life into it. Once you have allowed fat to break down it becomes unsuitable for frying — in fact browning is impossible.
• In addition to filtration, you can prolong the usefulness of fat by sweetening it with fresh compound every day – replacing about 15% of the bulk you started with. If you do enough frying so that normal absorption of fat in food amounts to 15% to 20% of the capacity of your kettle every day – then you can call that your turn-over food. It means you can add the recommended 15%of fresh fat without discarding any of the old.

10 POINT PROGRAM
TO PRESERVE FAT AND PRODUCE THE FINEST FRIED FOODS

1. Choose a fat that does not break down quickly. Hydrogenated shortening, corn, and peanut oils are less likely to break down under high tempera-tures.
2. Do not fry foods at temperatures above those recommended. The higher the fat temperature, the more rapid the rate of fat deterioration. Above 400°F fats quickly deteriorate.
3. During short intervals between frying, turn the heat down. Do not keep heat on for long periods between batches.
4. Keep fat clean. Strain or filter daily or at end of each shift. Add at least 15% fresh fat to your kettle daily.
5. At least once a day, cool a small amount of fat and taste it to see if it has picked up foreign flavors.
6. Discard fat that tends to bubble excessively be-fore food is added.
7. Do not overload baskets-pieces should not touch when frying. Shake baskets to prevent food from sticking together. Fry similar sizes together.
8. Never salt foods directly over fat, salt in fat re-duces its life.
9. Raw, wet foods, such as potatoes and oysters, should be drained or wiped dry before frying to extend the life of the frying fat. Have foods to be fried at room temperature.
10. Keep fat temperatures below smoking point to minimize frying odors.
