3.1Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures

Setup

DANGER

Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water, oil or shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.

DANGER

Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.

1.Fill the frypot with oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.

NOTE: If solid shortening is used, first raise the elements, then pack the shortening into the bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and then pack the shortening around and over the elements. It may be necessary to add shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark after the packed shortening has melted.

DANGER

Never set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating elements.

When using solid shortening, always pre-melt the shortening before adding it to the frypot. If the shortening is not pre-melted, it must be packed down into the bottom of the frypot and between the elements, and the fryer must be started in the melt-cycle mode.

Never cancel the melt-cycle mode when using solid shortening. Doing so will result in damage to the elements and increase the potential for a flash fire.

2.Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.

3.Ensure that the power is switched on. The fryer is equipped with a master switch located behind the fryer door cabinet on the front panel of the component box, next to the fuse. See page 3-1.

4.Ensure that the computer / controller is switched ON.

5.Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature. It may be necessary to add oil or shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark, after it has reached cooking temperature.

Shutdown

1.Turn the fryer off.

2.Filter the cooking oil and clean the fryers (See Chapters 4 and 5).

3.Place the frypot covers on the frypots.
