Read each step completely before doing what it tells you to do.
1.Put enough shortening in the kettle to completely cover the heating elements, thermocouple, and
Put shortening in the kettle using one of these methods:
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
•Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and pour it into the kettle.
•Put solid shortening into the kettle, packing it tightly around the heating elements, thermocouple, and high- temperature limit control probe.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
2.Turn on the unit by turning the thermostat clockwise 1/16 turn. When the unit is turned on, the power light located next to the thermostat knob will be lit.
3.Set the thermostat to 250°F/121°C. The “Heating” pilot light above the elements will light up, indicating that the shortening has not yet reached the selected temperature.
4.Continue adding shortening to the kettle until it reaches the “Oil Level” marks on the kettle. Use one of the following methods.
•Melt shortening in a pan on the stove and pour it into the kettle.
•Very carefully put solid shortening into the kettle.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, be very careful not to splatter hot shortening when you add shortening to the kettle.
Because shortening expands as it increases in temperature, put shortening in the kettle gradually. Let the shortening in the kettle heat up before you add more.
5.After all of the shortening has melted, set the thermostat to the desired frying temperature.
The “Heating” pilot light will go out if the high temperature limit control breaks the circuit.
Note: If the high temperature limit control does break the circuit, push the red reset button on the back of the heater head.
6.Wait for the shortening to reach the desired temperature.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, when the fryer is operating, do not touch any part of the fryer that is in contact with hot shortening.
7.If you are frying cake or French donuts, move the cutter into place over the fryer. Refer to the cutter manual (Type N cutter) for complete installation and operation instructions.
