Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction
Keep the Floor Around Your Fryer Clean Of
Shortening
Make sure to keep the floor around your fryer clean of shortening and
other liquids. Serious injury can occur if you slip near your fryer. You could
be burned by hot shortening that splashes out of the fryer or by falling
against the hot metal of the fryer.
Keep the Casters Locked
To avoid spilling shortening, keep the casters locked. If any shortening
spills near your fryer, clean it up immediately.
Do Not Overfill the Fryer with Shortening
Hot shortening and steam may escape and burn you if you put too much
shortening in the fryer. Fill the fryer to approximately one inch below the fill
marks that are inside the fryer pot. Heat the shortening. If needed, carefully
add more shortening to bring the level to the fill marks.
Do Not Let Any Water Get into The Fryer
Always remove excess moisture from food before placing it into the fryer
basket. Water will cause the hot shortening to spatter. You could be
burned.
Do Not Overload the Basket With Food
Hot shortening and steam may escape and burn you if you place too much
food in the basket.
Wear Safe Clothing Appropriate To Your Job
Always wear your insulated mitts when handling the fryer basket or touch
any hot metal surfaces. You received a pair of insulated mitts with your
fryer. If you lose or damage your mitts, you can buy new ones at your local
restaurant equipment supply store or from your local BKI Distributor.
Always wear non-skid shoes when working around the fryer or any other
equipment that uses shortening. Never wear loose clothing such as
neckties or scarves while operating your fryer. Keep loose hair tied back or
