OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING
Take out baskets, push down and hold element catch, located on left side of element housing. Lift up
on element lift handle until element locks in a vertical position, and remove kettle. The kettle can be
cleaned in a sink like any other pot or container.
ADDING FAT
Replace kettle and swing the element down by holding element lift handle and pushing release catch
down and holding it there. Lower element. Fryer is now ready for use. Add fat. A fat level line on the
rear of the kettle will guide you in determining the minimum cold fat level. A higher fat level can be used
when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or fish cakes. The fat level should be chosen carefully so that
the foaming action of the fat does not spill out of the kettle. If solid shortening is used, pack carefully
around the elements.
CONTROLS
1. ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-pole switch which turns power
on or off.
2. THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the control housing, this control allows you to select the
desired frying temperature. A signal light indicates when the element is on. When the light goes
off, the desired temperature has been reached.
3. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450° F (230° C), this control will shut off the
power. The light on the control panel will go out. The fat temperature must cool to 400° F (202.4°
C) and the manual reset button located on the back panel of the control housing must be pressed
to restore operation. Should the hi-limit control activate twice in succession, the primary thermostat
should be checked for malfunction by a qualified service technician.
FRYING
After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200° F (92.4° C). After the fat has
melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting. Included in this instruction booklet is a frying chart
and some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected fat temperature has been reached, the signal light
goes out. Slowly lower half filled baskets into the fat. Do not overload baskets as this causes foods to
be improperly fried. When moist food is lowered too quickly into hot fat, the fat will foam and spatter
excessively.
NOTE: Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying cycle. The kettle handles
serve as basket hangers.
IDLING
During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 200° F (92.4° C). The fast recovery fryers can
be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes. Lowering the temperature during idle periods
saves energy costs and prolongs fat life. To turn off fryer turn the on/off switch to the "off" position.
INAPPROPRIATE USE DUE TO A LACK OF COMMON SENSE MAY RESULT IN
PRODUCT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION
DRAINING KETTLE
Turn switch to "OFF." Remove baskets. Raise element to the first stop and allow it to drain. Raise the
element to the vertical position and siphon the oil out of the kettle.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KETTLE FILLED WITH HOT OIL. CONTACTING
HOT OIL CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION
If you do not have a siphon, order one from your dealer or dip the oil out and strain into a container.
After oil has been removed, remove the kettle and clean.
