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. DO NOT MOVE FRYER WITHOUT DRAINING ALL FRYING COMPOUND FROM THE TANK.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Clean the protective metal oils from all surface parts and the tank interior using a noncorrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's directions.

Rinse thoroughly and drain (open the front door to access the drain valve).

NOTE: On fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer, do not drain cleaning solution into the pump or filter system. See Filter-In-A-Drawer manual for information on cleaning.

Wipe tank completely dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Clean all fryer accessories.

Rinse all accessories thoroughly after cleaning and wipe dry.

Seasoning

Light seasoning of the backsplash area is required after every cleaning to avoid possible surface corrosion. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire backsplash area with a soft, lint-free cloth.

FILLING FRY TANK WITH SHORTENING

Liquid shortening may be used in all HG Series Fryers. Solid shortening can only be used in fryers equipped with a melt cycle. Melting solid shortening without using a melt cycle will damage the fry tank and scorch the shortening. See Melt Options in this manual under your particular model for more information. Make sure the gas valve is off when draining or filling.

1.Fill the fryer tank.

2.Shortening level should be between the MIN and MAX lines in fry tank (Fig. 4). Shortening will expand when heated; do not fill the fry tank past the MAX line.

3.Add fresh shortening as needed.
