3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware
of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the
aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valves
are closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to
the bottom OIL-LEVEL line. If solid shortening is being used, make sure it is
packed down into the bottom of the frypot.
3.1.1 Setup
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled
with water or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the
frypot and may cause a fire.
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so
will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
The FQG30-T™ is not intended to use solid shortening without a solid shortening
kit installed. The use of solid shortening without a solid shortening kit will clog
the top off oil lines. The oil capacity of the FQG30-T™ gas fryer is 32 lbs. (3.8
gallons/14.5 liters) at 70°F (21°C) for a full-vat and 18 lbs. (2.2 gallons/8.33 liters)
at 70°F (21°C) for each half of a dual-vat.
Prior to filling frypots with oil, ensure all drains are closed.
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bot-
tom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. If solid shortening is used, make sure it is
packed down into the bottom of the frypot.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the
face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
