DAILY FILTERING Fryers Without Filter Ready Options Turn gas valve off when draining or filling. Always filter the shortening while liquified.

If necessary, the clean- out rod may be used to carefully stir up hard fat to an area above the cold zone (see Fig. -
Page 15: Battery Interplumbing (Optional)
If the shortening becomes overheated, a high temperature shutoff device will turn the gas valve off and extinguish the pilot. DO NOT relight the pilot until the shortening temperature is below 300 F (149 C). If this situation persists, contact your local Vulcan-Hart authorized service office. – 15 –... -
