5. OPERATING

Removing Fry Tanks:

1.Remove fry baskets.

2.Carefully grasp the element handle. CAUTION: May be hot. Pull out the head lock on the left of the head.

3.Lift the element handle while at the same time, pulling the head lock. This will permit lifting the elements to just above frying compound level in tank. The element can be left in this position for draining frying compound.

4.Again, lift the element handle while pulling the head lock, until the elements lock themselves at a higher position.

5.Firmly grasp both handles of fry tank and lift it out. After replacing the fry tank, simply pull the head lock; and at the same time, pull down the element handle until the elements rest on fry tank bottom.

6.Both the lifting out and lowering of elements can be done in one swing, without stopping at the intermediate position.

6. MAINTENANCE

Filling Fry Tank:

1.Fill the fry tank half way between the MAX and MIN marks on the tank with approximately 15 lbs. of liquid or melted frying compound. Do not fill past the MAX.

NOTE: This fryer is not equipped with a melt cycle option. Air holes caused when packing solid frying compound into the fryer can cause hot spots on the heating element sheath, resulting in momentary overheating of some of the frying compound and premature frying compound breakdown. It can also damage the heating elements. If it is necessary to use solid frying compound, it must be melted before adding to fry tank.

Turn the thermostat to the desired frying temperature. The yellow “HEAT ON” light will stay on until the temperature set on the thermostat is reached, then the light cycles off. The fryer is now ready to begin frying. After a load has been fried, do not lower the next load into the frying compound until the “HEAT ON” light cycles off.

2.Do not let the frying compound level drop below the MIN mark on the tank. For proper operation of the fryer and good frying results, the frying compound level should be maintained.

3.Use a quality frying compound.

4.Filter the frying compound frequently, at least once a day.

5.Skim out food particles frequently with the strainer/skimmer.

6.Add at least 15% (of fry tank capacity) of fresh frying compound daily, (more if possible) without overloading the tank. If 15% of the frying compound is not used during frying, remove some of the frying compound for other use (gravy, griddle frying, etc.) to permit adding fresh frying compound.

7.Do not overload the fry baskets. Approximately half-full or even less is correct. If foods are taking longer to fry than the chart shows, or are not browning, over-loading is a probable cause.

EF-15N, EF-30NT, EF-30NTC specifications

The APW Wyott EF-30NT, EF-30NTC, and EF-15N are essential electric countertop fryers that cater to the needs of busy kitchens and food service operations. These fryer models are designed to streamline cooking processes while ensuring high performance, reliability, and efficiency.

The EF-30NT and EF-30NTC models are equipped with dual fry tanks, each offering a generous capacity that allows chefs to fry multiple batches simultaneously. This feature is particularly beneficial in fast-paced environments, where time is of the essence. Both models utilize a powerful heating element that can reach high temperatures quickly, ensuring that food is cooked evenly and to perfection. The EF-30NTC model incorporates a convenient thermostat control that allows users to adjust the temperature easily, ensuring consistency across various menu items.

The EF-15N, while slightly smaller in capacity, maintains the same high-quality performance and durability that APW Wyott is known for. It’s designed for smaller kitchens or food trucks where space is limited, yet it still boasts an impressive frying output. All three models feature stainless steel construction, which not only contributes to their durability but also facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance. The stainless steel surface resists tarnishing and is built to withstand the rigors of a commercial kitchen.

One of the standout technologies of the EF series is the cool zone feature integrated into the fry tanks. This innovative design allows excess food particles to settle away from the heating element, reducing the likelihood of burnt residues and improving the overall oil life. This results in cleaner oil, which translates to better-tasting food and reduced oil costs over time.

Safety is a key consideration in the design of these fryers. They come equipped with safety features such as an automatic shut-off function in case of overheating and a built-in grease drain for easy oil disposal. These enhancements not only make the cooking process safer but also optimize operational efficiency.

In summary, the APW Wyott EF-30NT, EF-30NTC, and EF-15N are versatile, efficient, and robust electric fryers designed to meet the demands of modern food service operations. Their innovative features and high-quality construction make them an excellent investment for any kitchen looking to elevate their frying capabilities.
