OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE THE LAMINATED WARNING SIGN SUPPLIED
WITH THE FRYER IN AN AREA VISIBLE TO THE
FRYER OPERATOR.
CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING
Take out baskets, push and hold element catch, lift up on element lift
handle until elements lock in a vertical position, and remove kettle. The
kettle can be cleaned in a sink.
DO NOT use soap when cleaning the kettle, it will discolor the kettle.
ADDING FAT
Replace kettle and swing the element down, making fryer ready for use.
Add fat. The kettle has a 15 lb. fat capacity. A fat level line on the rear
of the kettle will guide you in determining the minimum cold fat level. A
higher fat level can be used when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or
fish cakes. The fat level should be chosen carefully so that the foaming
action of the fat does not spill out of the kettle. If solid shortening is used,
pack carefully around the elements.
CONTROLS
1. ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-
pole switch which turns power on or off. An indicator light
(Power On) is located on the control housing.
2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this
control allows you to select the desired frying temperature. A signal
light "Heating" indicates when the element is on. When the light goes
off, the desired temperature has been reached.
3. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450° F
(230° C), this control will shut off the power to the heating elements.
The unit will still have power. The fat temperature must cool to
400° F (202.4° C) and the manual reset button located on the back
panel of the control housing must be pressed to restore operation.
Should the hi-limit control activate twice in succession, the primary
thermostat should be checked for malfunction by a qualified service
technician.
