Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully,
one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use
the basket, first dip basket into shortening to
reduce batter build-up on basket surfaces.
Corn-on-the-cob must be submerged to fry
uniformly. Place corn in bottom of basket. Stack
an empty basket on top of corn to keep it submerged.
When frying is completed, remove baskets or
product. Hang baskets on rear basket hangers.
Remove food and season it. Do not salt food over
the shortening because salt could cause a chemical
change in the oil.
DAILY (All Models)
Add approximately 15% new shortening daily. Keep
level of shortening at "fill level" line in fry tank. Add
fresh shortening as needed.
DAILY FILTERING
Fryers Without Filter Ready Options
Turn gas valve off when draining or filling.
Always filter the shortening while liquified. A cold
fryer will not drain properly because the shortening
under the cold zone tube area will remain hard,
even if the heat is on for a few minutes. If necessary,
the clean-out rod may be used to carefully stir up
hard fat to an area above the cold zone (see Fig. 4)
where it will melt. After the cold zone is liquified,
turn the fryer thermostat and gas valve off.
Shortening life will be extended by filtering at least
once a day or more often if conditions warrant. A
commercial power filter (available from other
manufacturers) may be used.
manufacturer's operating instructions for draining,
straining, and replacing shortening in the fry tank.
Another way to filter is to drain the shortening from
the drain pipe through a filter bag, or cover the
receiving container with cheesecloth or other
filtering material.
