Installation Instructions

1. Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use.
2. Check rating label for your model designation & electrical rating. Consult with your electrician before using any electrical equipment. Hardwired units MUST be installed by a qualified Electrician. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
3. For best results, use stainless steel countertops that are even and free of debris/liquids.
4. Attach the four legs to the bottom of the unit and place the fryer on the countertop. Use a level to ensure the adjustable feet are all even.

General Operating Instructions

1. 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.
2. Do not allow your customers to come into contact with any part of the fryer.
3. Before operating, check to ensure your power supply is correct to match the data plate.
4. Once the fryer is installed on a level surface and connected to a power source, add oil to the oil pan. 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.
5. With the oil in the pan, turn the fryer on and move the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
6. Allow the Fryer 15-30 min to reach the desired temp.
7. Do not overload the basket with products.
8. Drop the basket in slowly and fry for desired time.
9. If using tongs to separate products, you must also wear high-heat gloves to prevent burns.
10. Once the product is done, lift the basket and use the side-mounted hanger to drain the additional grease off the product.

Cleaning

1. Always turn unit off and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Never clean unit by immersing it in water.
3. Tilt the fryer head back which lifts the element. Remove the oil pan and safely drain the oil using the side handles on the pan. Oil should be drained nightly at a minimum and more depending on frequency of use.
4. Replace the pan and move the heating head/element back into operating position.
5. Add water to the “MAX” Line.
6. Add the Noble Fryclone cleaner or other food grade cleaner and follow cleaner instructions.
7. Turn the thermostat to 250°F. Let the heating unit bring the solution to a boil.
8. Boil long enough to loosen or dissolve all varnish or carbon deposits. This should take approximately 30 minutes.
9. Turn the unit off.
10. Rinse with clean water to remove all cleaning mixture.
11. Rinse the inside of the tank with 2 cups of vinegar.
12. 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.
13. Dry thoroughly.
14. Cover the tank if compound will not be added until a future date.
15. Clean all exterior surfaces of unit on a regular basis with a damp cloth.
16. To remove discolorations or oil film, a non-abrasive cleaner may be used such as Noble’s 147QUIKSAN.
