SECTION 3. OPERATION

A three way switch with center OFF position; move the switch to
the position marked POWER to operate the fryer; move the switch
to the position marked PUMP to operate the filter pump; certain
conditions must be met prior to operation of the filter pump; these
conditions are covered later in this section
This reservoir holds the cooking shortening, and is designed to
accommodate the heat exchanger, 6 head of product and an
adequate cold zone for collection of cracklings
This stainless steel carrier consists of five racks which contain
the food product during and after frying
A two-way ball valve, normally in the closed position; turn the
handle to drain the shortening from the frypot into the filter drain
pan
A microswitch that provides protection for the frypot in the event an
operator inadvertently drains the shortening from the frypot while
the main switch is in the POWER position; the switch is designed to
automatically shut off the heat when the drain valve is opened
A shortening mixing capability to help ensure shortening is properly
mixed to prevent an accumulation of moisture and hence boiling
action in the pot; the filter pump is activated by the controls, at
preset intervals, to mix the shortening
A mechanical catch on the front of the lid which engages a bracket
on the front of the frypot, when lid is lowered
Pumps air into the shortening, periodically, to keep the shortening at
a uniform temperature; this only functions when the unit has been
sitting idle for a period of time, and when heating upfrom a cold
start
