Cooking With The Lgf-F - BKI LGF-F Service Manual

Gas Pressure Fryer
IMPORTANT! Before the first cooking operation each day, stir the shortening freely while it is
heating to provide a balanced shortening temperature for excellent results with the first
cooking. Failure to do this can result in a crusty skin on the product surface with an
undercooked product internally. In addition, in some cases, failure to stir the shortening while
it is initially heating may cause the
HI-LIMIT safety device to disable the power due to a false overtemperature condition.
5. Set the thermostat to the desired cook temperature. The temperature light will go on. When the
temperature is reached, the light will go off. The light will continue to cycle on and off as the fryer
maintains the set temperature.
6. Press and hold the TIME SELECT arrow buttons on the digital timer until the desired cook time is
displayed or recall a preset time by quickly pressing the appropriate preset button.
7. The shortening will heat and begin to reach the fill mark inside the pot. Add more shortening as
required to reach the fill mark.

Cooking with the LGF-F

1. Ensure that the Start-Up procedures have been performed.
2. When frying chicken, connect the basket handle and lower the basket into the shortening in the
fryer pot.
3. Carefully drop the chicken in the shortening one piece at a time starting with thighs and
drumsticks, followed by breast and wings. The fryer will accommodate 32 pieces of chicken.
4. Lift the basket approximately 2 to 3 inches (6.35 cm.) above the shortening and shake it. This
keeps the food from sticking together and causing white spots on the cooked food.
5. Slowly lower the fryer basket into fryer pot and remove the detachable handle.
6. Close the lid, making sure the lid hook latches securely under the catch.
7. Tighten the spin handle until the lid is firmly sealed. Line up the orange knob on the spin handle
with the orange knob (Lid Hook Handle) at the front of the fryer.
8. Activate the timer by pressing the START/STOP button on the digital timer (#8). The timer will
begin the count down.
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure.
Serious burns may result.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when dropping
chicken into pot. Carefully drop pieces of chicken into pot to prevent shortening
splashes.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in severe injury. Always use the
insulated mitts when handling the hot fry basket.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when lowering
basket into pot. Carefully lower basket into pot to prevent shortening splashes.
