SECTION C – NORMAL DAILY OPERATION
'
Follow this procedure after the Fryer has already been started up for the first time or after Fryer has been shut down for maintenance.
C1 – Filling the Vessel for Frying – Close Drain Valve and fill to proper level (Oil Level) with frying fat. If solid shortening is used, be certain
shortening is pre-melted; if not, shortening must be packed tightly around the Heat Transfer Tubes before any attempts are made to turn on
Fryer. NEVER attempt to melt a solid block of shortening by setting it on top of the Heat Tubes. Loosely packed solid shortening will create
air voids around Heat Transfer Tubes of Fryer. When fired up, tubes will become red hot and will cause shortening to scorch and burn
creating a fire hazard. The safest way to melt solid shortening gradually is by turning burners "ON" for 5 seconds and then "OFF" for 15
seconds. This procedure is to be repeated until the tubes are covered with melted shortening. If any smoke is noticed during this melt cycle
procedure, reduce the burner "ON CYCLE." Replace Crumb Screen over tubes when melted shortening has reached the "OIL LEVEL" line.
C2 – Lighting Instructions – Follow instructions on data label attached to inside Door Panel or as outlined in Section B3 of this manual.
C3 – Fryer Operation – Set the Thermostat Knob to desired frying temperature and allow shortening to pre-heat (75° F to 350° F in 7
minutes). The Burners are thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off to maintain correct frying temperature. The "Safety Pilot" will
remain lit until the gas is shut off.
C4 – Special Hi-Limit Safety Control – Your Fryer is equipped with an over-temperature or Hi-Limit Control that will trip and automatically shut
down the Burners should operating temperatures exceed 460°F (due to operating thermostat out of calibration or low oil level in tank). To
reset Hi-Limit Control, wait 30 minutes to allow fat to cool down, or add additional cool oil or shortening for faster response, then push the
Red Pin E on Hi-Limit Control and relight pilot following steps (1) through (8) in Section B3.
C5 – Shut-Down and Draining – For temporary shut down, turn thermostat to lowest or off position. Then turn Gas Cock Dial to "PILOT"
position. To shut Fryer down completely, partially depress and turn Gas Cock Dial to "OFF" position. When draining tank, allow shortening to
cool to a safe handling temperature.
