VHG SERIES GAS FRYERS
The fry tank must be filled with frying oil or water before turning the burners on.
The fry tank can be damaged if the burners are turned on while empty and will void your
warranty.
•
Close the drain valve.
•
Fill the fryer tank with frying oil or shortening.
•
Oil level should be between the MIN and MAX lines on the fryer tank.
•
Oil will expand when heated. Do not fill the fryer tank past the
MAX line.
•
Add fresh shortening or frying oil as needed to maintain oil level.
When using a solid shortening, ensure the shortening is packed tightly in the
tank to eliminate any air pockets. Air pockets can cause ignition points and fry tank
damage.
Set the desired temperature and allow shortening to heat up to that temperature.
•
Fry items that are the same size to ensure equal doneness.
•
Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into
hot shortening.
•
Add fresh shortening as needed.
