These are just basic procedures. Refer to Wendy's operating
procedures for more detailed instructions.
1. Be sure the drain valve is in the closed position.
2. Remove fry basket from frypot and leave lid up.
3. Fill the frypot with shortening.
When using new shortening, it is recommended to melt the
shortening on an outside source before placing shortening in
the frypot. Unless elements are completely covered in shorten-
ing, fire or damage to the frypot could result.
4. Move power switch to the COOK position. Unit automatically
goes into the Melt Cycle. When the temperature reaches 230°F
(110°C) the control goes into the Heat Cycle, and heats the
shortening until the temperature setting is reached.
Bypass the Melt Cycle, if desired, by pressing a product button
and holding it for 4 seconds.
Do not bypass the Melt Cycle unless enough shortening has
melted to completely cover all of the heating elements, or the
curved surface of the gas frypot. If Melt Cycle is bypassed
before these surfaces are covered, excessive smoking of the
shortening or a fire will result.
5. Completely stir shortening to stabilize the temperature throughout
Step 8
the frypot.
6. If the shortening was not filtered the night before at shutdown, it
should be filtered now, after the shortening reaches the frying
temperature and before the fryer is used. Refer to Filtering of
Shortening Section.
