3-3. FILLING OR ADDING SHORTENING
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. 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 placing it in the frypots. The heating elements or 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.
Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot shortening into frypot. Shortening and all metal parts that are in contact with the shortening are extremely hot, and take care to avoid splashing.

2.The gas open fryers require 90 lbs. (41 kg) of shortening per frypot, and the electric 80 lbs. (36 kg) per frypot. All frypots have 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall of the frypot. The top indicator shows the proper level of heated shortening; the bottom indicator shows the proper level of cold shortening. (See Figure
So the faucet doesn’t interfere with operating, filtering and cleaning procedures, swivel the faucet to either frypot and push it into the area above the elements, as shown in Figure
