FLATBOTTOM SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: OPERATION AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

3.1Start-up

NOTE: If this is the first time the unit is being operated after installation, perform the boil-out procedure found in Section 2.3 of Chapter 2 before proceeding.

1.Fill the frypot with cooking oil up to the lower OIL LEVEL line on the rear of the frypot. If using solid shortening, the shortening must be melted first, then poured into the frypot.

2.Set the operating thermostat or optional solid-state controller to the desired cooking temperature, then press the POWER switch to the POWER position. If the fryer is so equipped, press the FRYER RESET switch for a couple of seconds then release it. If the light in the reset switch does not remain lit when the switch is released, verify that the drain valve is fully closed, and then press the reset switch again.

When this switch is in the POWER position, this indicator will be lit whenever the heating elements are engergized.

If this light does not remain lit when switch is released, the drain valve is open.

NOTE: The Fryer Reset switch and Boil Out switch are not present in all configurations.

3.The light in the POWER switch should illuminate, indicating that the elements have been energized (see illustration above). It will remain lit until the fryer reaches the temperature set on the thermostat or controller. The specific amount of time required for the oil to reach cooking temperature (typically 350°F (177°C)) will vary with the initial temperature of the oil, but it will normally take less than 30 minutes from a cold start.

4.When the light in the POWER switch goes out, the temperature of the oil in the frypot has reached that set on the thermostat or controller (the “setpoint”) and the fryer is ready for cooking. If desired, the oil temperature may be verified by placing the tip of a good grade thermometer or pyrometer near the tip of the temperature probe in the frypot and comparing the thermometer/pyrometer reading to the setpoint value.
