Filling Or Adding Shortening - Henny Penny PFE-590 Operator's Manual

3-5. FILLING OR ADDING
SHORTENING
Figure 3-3
703
The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level
indicators on the rear of the frypot (Figure 3-3). Failure
to follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or
damage to the fryer.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before plac-
ing it in the frypots. The heating elements must be
completely submerged in shortening. Fire or damage to
the frypot could result.
1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be used
in the pressure fryer. Some low grade shortenings have a high
moisture content and cause foaming and boiling over.
To avoid severe burns when pouring hot shortening into
frypot, wear gloves and take care to avoid splashing.
2. The electric model requires 100 lbs. (45 kg.) of shortening.
The frypot has 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear
wall of the frypot which show when the heated shortening is at
the proper level. Figure 3-3.
3. Cold shortening should be filled to the lower indicator.
BE CERTAIN THE SHORTENING IS NEVER
ABOVE THE UPPER LEVEL INDICATOR LINE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING OVERFLOWING
THE FRYPOT CAUSING SERIOUS BURNS, PER-
SONAL INJURY, FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
