2. Fill pot with shortening to about one inch below the fill mark.
3. Place the gas control ON/OFF switch in the ON position.
4. The digital timer has a STIR OIL function that operates in one of four reconfigurable modes. If the
timer needs to be reconfigured, follow step a. If the timer does not need to be reconfigured, follow
step b.
a. Press and hold the ALARM button and at the same time place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch
in the FRY position. The display will show the word "STIR" until the ALARM button is

b. Once the fryer is filled with shortening, place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch in the FRY
position.
c. Unless the STIR OIL function is operating in the –OFF mode, the digital timer activates a
STIR OIL function and begins an internal six minute countdown (not displayed). At the end of
the internal countdown, the display shows the words "STIR" then "OIL" in .5 second intervals
and the alarm sounds. Depress the ALARM button and stir the shortening freely while it is
heating.
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below the minimum oil level. The level of oil
within the pot must not fall below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers
guidelines for lifecycle of oil/shortening.
Overfilling the fryer pot with shortening could lead to serious injury. Ensure that
the fryer pot is filled with shortening only to the fill mark when shortening is hot.
Do not use any shortening other than what is specified in this manual and do not
overfill the fryer pot.
The LGF/LGF-F fryer has a maximum temperature setting of 375º F (190º C). Do
not use oil/shortening with a flashpoint less than 554º F (290º C)
Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke
point and no additives.
