Henny Penny OFE- 290 manual Filling or Adding Shortening

Model OFE- 290

3-5. FILLING OR ADDING SHORTENING

Figure 3-3

The shortening level must always be above the heating elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level indicators on the rear of the frypot (Figure 3-3). Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or damage to the fryer.

When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt the shortening on an outside heating source before plac- ing it in the frypots. The burner tubes must be completely submerged in shortening. Fire or damage to the frypot could result.

1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening

be used in the open fryer. Some low grade shortenings have a high moisture content and will cause foaming and boiling over.

To avoid severe burns when pouring hot shortening into frypot, wear gloves and take care to avoid splashing.

2. The electric model requires 100 lbs. (45 Kg.) of shortening. The frypot has 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall of the frypot which show when the heated shortening is at the proper level. Figure 3-3.

3. Cold shortening should be filled to the lower indicator.

BE CERTAIN THE SHORTENING IS NEVER ABOVE THE UPPER LEVEL INDICATOR LINE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT CAUSING SERIOUS BURNS, PER- SONAL INJURY, FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
