Thermostat Operation The thermostat on GF14/GF40 fryers is connected to a graduated knob located inside the fryer door. On GF14 models, the knob is on the left side; in GF40 models, the knob is on the right side. Rotating the knob clockwise to the desired cooking temperature (setpoint) directly adjusts the thermostat to that temperature. -
Page 17: Draining And Filtering
Cooking oil or shortening should be filtered at least twice daily and more often if a heavy volume of breaded product is fried. Filtering will greatly increase the life of the cooking oil or shortening and will produce a higher quality product. Frymaster recommends the use of the Frymaster PF50 Portable Filter. - Page 18 Frymaster recommends that a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone be used when a portable filtration unit is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone, be sure that the cone holder rests securely on the metal container.
