Thermostat Calibration
Millivolt thermostats
a. Set the thermostat dial to 325
b. Remove the thermostat dial by pulling the knob straight out. DO NOT rotate the dial.
c. Hold the outside of the shaft so it does not move. Use the tip of a small, flat tip screw driver to
scrape away the sealing compound from the adjustment screw.
d. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to lower the temperature setting and counterclockwise
to raise the temperature. One quarter turn changes the temperature approximately 25
e. Turn the adjustment until the burners turn on at 325
to cycle 4 to 6 times. Check the temperature of the thermometer against the thermostat dial. If
it is greater than 5
f.
When the calibration is correct, remove the thermometer and replace the tube screen.
Filling The Fryer With Liquid Shortening
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Fill the fryer with oil to the "Oil Level" line marked on the back of the tank.
Filling The Fryer With Solid Shortening
a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.
b. Remove the screen covering the tubes.
c. Cut the shortening into cubes no larger than 1". ALWAYS pack the shortening below,
between, and on top of the burner tubes. DO NOT leave any large air gaps. Use care when
packing the solid shortening in the tank. DO NOT bend or break the temperature sensor
probes. If these are damaged the fryer will not function properly.
d. Once the fryer is packed with shortening, the shortening must be melted.
e. To melt shortening, manually pulse the burners ON and OFF using the thermostat until the shortening
is liquidized enough to cover the heat tubes. This will protect the tank and components from damage
and extend the life of the oil.
Fryer Shut-Down
There are two shutdown modes of fryer operation, STANDBY and COMPLETE. The standby mode
removes the ability for the fryer's main burners to cycle. Complete shutdown turns off the gas supply to
the fryer. Shut down the fryer by:
STANDBY Turn the thermostat to OFF. Turn the gas valve clockwise to the PILOT position. The cooker is now in
Standby and can remain this way for only brief periods of time. NEVER leave the cooker in standby overnight.
COMPLETE To completely shut down the cooker, push and turn the gas valve counterclockwise to the OFF
position. The fryer is now completely shut down and can be cleaned and filtered.
