2.2OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure the food always comes out the very best, follow the preparation instructions for the food you are cooking. Using the best shortening makes the best fried foods. The best shortening will last longer than lower grade shortening and save you money. When not in use the shortening should be cooled and covered to prevent contamination.

CAUTION

This fryer has been installed using restraining devices to prevent accidental tipping or movement. Do not attempt to move the fryer when it has hot liquid in it. Splashing hot liquids can cause severe burns.

WARNING

Water and shortening DO NOT mix. Keep liquids away from hot shortening. Dropping liquid frozen food into the hot shortening will cause violent boiling.

2.2.1 Fryer Start-Up

DO NOT START FRYER WITHOUT FILLING WITH OIL!

a.Light the pilot light as described in section 1.5.2.

b.Turn the temperature control knob (thermostat) to the desired temperature setting. This knob is located behind the front doors or on the front control panel.
