Page 20: Daily Operation
1. For consistent quality product, convenience and long-term savings, use a high-quality liquid shortening. 2. If using solid shortening, never melt a block of shortening by setting it whole in the fryer vessel. 3. Although 350°F (177°C) is the recommended temperature for most cooking operations, set the fryer at the lowest possible temperature which produces a high quality end product while ensuring maximum life for your shortening. - Page 21 KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS 4.4 Filtering (cont.) If using solid shortening, clear return lines before turning off the filter motor by allowing the pump to run for approximately 10-15 seconds once air bubbles appear in the frypot from the oil return line.

Page 25: Filtration
The KSCFH18E is equipped with the Under Fryer Filter system (UFF). The shortening should be filtered at least daily or even more frequently if cooking is heavy. This ensures the longest life possible for the shortening, gives better taste to the food being prepared, and minimizes flavors being transferred from batch to batch. - Page 26 3. Remove the crumb screen. Wash the screen in hot, soapy water, rinse, then dry thoroughly. Pull the filter pan from the fryer and remove covers. Proper drip pan placement. Remove crumb screen. If crumbs are present in the crumb screen, empty the screen into a fireproof container.
