Cooking (Blf-Fc) - BKI BLF-F Service Manual

Electric Auto-Lift Fryer
1. On the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch, press the FRY button. The question "Is the Fry Pot filled – If yes
press ENTER" will appear on the computer display. The computer will display IDLE and will heat
to 275°F. Press one of the recipe buttons to preheat the oil to the setpoint temperature. The
shortening will heat and begin to reach the fill mark inside the pot.
2. Stir the oil freely while it is heating. Press the 0 button when up to temperature to put in IDLE
mode.
IMPORTANT! Before the first cooking operation each day, stir the shortening freely while it is
heating to provide a balanced shortening temperature for excellent results with the first cooking.
Failure to do this can result in a crusty skin on the product surface with an undercooked product
internally. In addition, in some cases, failure to stir the shortening while it is initially heating may
cause the HI-LIMIT safety device to disable the power due to a false over temperature condition.
