    OPERATION WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER. WARNING: SPILLING HOT FRYING COMPOUND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.

  • Page 9: Adding Solid Shortening

    ADDING SOLID SHORTENING If replacing shortening, place the block of shortening in the room with the fryer for 1 to 2 hours before using. This will soften the shortening and make it easier to divide. CAUTION: Failure to remove crumb screens prior to addition of fresh shortening may cause fryer side walls to overheat, allowing shortening to reach flashpoint.
