Electric Auto-Lift Fryer Introduction
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 in a hair net while operating your
fryer.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during
the filtering process to guard against possible injury from hot oil.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during
