Operation - Cecilware EFP40 Operator's Manual

Installation (continued)
• The wiring diagram for each unit is attached to the
inside of the fryer door. Wiring diagrams for all units
are included in this manual. Amperage for each unit
depends on the type of installation and accessories
supplied with the unit.
Initial cleaning
Before using the unit, the tank should be washed
thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove oil residues
and dust, then rinsed and wiped dry. Accessories,
shipped with the unit, should also be washed.
Verification
1. Remove the crumb screen.
2. Fill the tank with hot or cold water to the "oil
level" line.
3. Set the operating thermostat dial to 225
degrees, just above the boiling point of water,
and engage cook cycle. (Cook switch ON)
4. Turn ON the power switch on the control panel.
These steps check the heating element
operation, initial thermostat calibration, and
clean the tank for initial production.
5. When the water starts to boil, turn the dial to
just below 212 degrees. The elements will turn
off and the water will stop boiling.
6. When satisfied that heaters and thermostat are
operating properly, drain the tank and dry
thoroughly.
7. Close the drain valve.
Final Preparation
WARNING
To prevent serious burn injury:
Fryer must only be operated when cooking oil or
shortening is at recommended oil level.
Do not move a fryer filled with hot liquid.
Let hot oil cool sufficiently before draining. Hot oil will
crack glass and also melt plastic vessels.
Wear oil-proof insulated gloves when working at fryer
filled with hot oil.
• COOKING OIL: fill tank to the "oil level" line marked
on the tank.
• SOLID SHORTENING: either melt shortening first or cut
it into small pieces and pack carefully around the
heating element. Leave no air space around the
elements and be careful not to disturb the sensing
bulbs. Melt the shortening either with the MELT or
MELT/COOK cycle or by using the COOK cycle and
turning the heaters ON for FIVE (5) to TEN (10) SECONDs
then OFF for ONE (1) MINUTE using the temperature
control dial. Repeat this cycle until the shortening has
melted. If smoke develops during this melting process
shorten the "on" cycle and lengthen the "off" cycle.
Fryer
• When the shortening has melted and the tank has
filled to the "oil level", replace the crumb screen.
• Before starting operation, set the unit into COOK cycle
mode and turn the thermostat to the operating
temperature. Allow the oil or shortening temperature
to stabilize, and then check with a high quality
immersion thermometer.

Operation

Daily Operation
AT START OF WORKDAY - Check fryer visually for
• Power switch "OFF".
• Temperature control dial "OFF". (Counterclockwise)
GENERAL TURN-ON PROCEDURE:
• If fryer is empty, fill the tank with oil to the "oil
level" mark.
• If using solid shortening, cut and pack as
previously described.
• Turn Power switch "ON".
• To melt solid shortening, turn the Melt
WARNING:
shortening has fully melted.
(Melt/Cook) switch
temperature control dial to 200 degrees.
• Put unit into cook cycle (Cook switch "ON") and
set the temperature
(recommended). The frying compound will
stabilize in less than 30 minutes and the unit
will be ready for production.
USE OF FRYER - for best results:
• For consistent product quality, and long-term
savings, use high quality liquid frying oil.
• If using solid shortening, never attempt to melt
a block of shortening by setting it whole on top
of the heating elements. This is dangerous as it
may burn-out the elements and start a fire.
• The recommended temperature of 350 degrees
should be the usual temperature for most
cooking operations. However, frying should be
carried out at the lowest temperature which
will produce a high quality product while
ensuring maximum life of the frying compound.
• When the fryer is not in use, temperature
control should be set at a lower temperature
than that used during cooking. Light loads may
also be cooked at lower temperatures.
• Salting: Do not salt food over the fryer tank.
Salt deteriorates the frying compound quickly.
