Use good-quality shortening.

Filter shortening daily (at a minimum).

Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.

Keep equipment and surrounding clean.

Set thermostat correctly.

Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing on fryer.
1. Turn the thermostat knob to the OFF position. .
2. Insert the drain extension into the drain valve. Tighten only hand tight.
3. Direct the drain extension into the mobile filtering device that you want to use.
4. A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always filter shortening between 250°F
and 350°F. The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if the heat is only on for
a few minutes. If necessary, use the clean-out rod to carefully move the hard shortening
to an area above the cold zone where it will melt.
