Page 14: Cooking Hints
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL Gas floor model fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from rising above 450F. (Because of the accuracy tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as high as 475F.) In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to below 400F before the pilot burner can be re-ignited. - Page 15 4. Wipe off the basket support frame and the inside of the frypot with a clean cloth. CAUTION SOME AREAS OF THE FRYPOT MAY BE HOT! 5. Close drain valve and strain the oil back into the frypot through several thicknesses of cheesecloth, or filter it back using a filter machine.
