Gas Auto-Lift Fryer

Initial Test and Adjustment

1. Turn on the gas at the gas supply valve.
2. Place the DRAIN handle in the CLOSED position.
3. Fill pot with shortening to just above the oil level mark.
4. Before you turn on the gas, wait at least five minutes to allow any gas that may have accumulated in the
burner compartment to escape.
5. Turn fryer on by touching the ON button for 3 seconds. Follow the startup instruction below. Add more
shortening as required to reach the fill mark. Refer to the troubleshooting section if this does not occur.
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below the minimum oil level. The level of oil
within the pot must not fall below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers
guidelines for lifecycle of oil/shortening.
Overfilling the fryer pot with shortening could lead to serious injury. Ensure that
the fryer pot is filled with shortening only to the fill mark when shortening is hot.
Do not use any shortening other than what is specified in this manual and do not
overfill the fryer pot.
The fryer has a maximum temperature setting of 375º F/191º C. Do not use
oil/shortening with a flashpoint less than 554º F/290º C
Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke
point and no additives.
