The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level
indicators on the rear of the frypot. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in a fire and/or damage to
the fryer.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before
placing it in the frypots. The heating elements or burner
tubes must be completely submerged in shortening. Fire
or damage to the frypot could result.
1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening
be used in the open fryer. Some low grade shortenings
have a high moisture content and will cause foaming and
boiling over.
Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot
shortening into frypot. Shortening and all metal parts
that are in contact with the shortening are extremely
hot, and take care to avoid splashing.
2. The gas open fryers require 90 lbs. (41 kg) of shortening
per frypot, and the electric 80 lbs. (36 kg) per frypot. All
frypots have 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear
wall of the frypot. The top indicator shows the proper
level of heated shortening; the bottom indicator shows
the proper level of cold shortening. (See Figure 3-3)
So the faucet doesn't interfere with operating, filtering
and cleaning procedures, swivel the faucet to either
frypot and push it into the area above the elements, as
shown in Figure 3-4 at left.
