Operation, Preparation Before Use, Filling the Tank

INSTALLATION continued

Preparation Before Use

After the fryer has been properly installed and checked for operation, it will be necessary to clean the protective coating from the tank as follows:

1.Turn the power service disconnect switch off.

2.Remove baskets from the fry tank.

3.Lift the element handle until the heating elements are in full raised position.

4.Lift the tank out of the fryer for cleaning. If a special fry tank cleaner is used, carefully follow the manufacture’s instructions for use. A soap, vinegar or baking soda solution may be used for cleaning the tank. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean, hot water and dry completely.

5.Replace the tank in the fryer. If the tank has the optional drain valve, make sure that this valve is tightly closed.

6.With the circuit breakers and toggle switch on the fryer

in the “OFF” position, turn on the power at the service disconnect box.

OPERATION

Filling the Tank

Once the tank and elements have been cleaned the tank can be filled with oil.

1.If Liquid frying compound is used, fill the tank to the ‘Full’ mark stamped on the inside of the tank. Do not over fill the tank.

2.If hydrogenated or solid frying compound is used, measure 30 lbs (13.6 kg). Pack the compound firmly around the heating unit. The elements must be completely covered with compound. Start the fryer and set the thermostat to 250°F (121°C). Operate at this temperature until the compound is completely melted. Operating at higher temperatures can scorch the frying compound.

3.For optimum frying compound life, it has been recommended by the manufactures of the compound limit the maximum operating temperature to 375°F (190°C) on S18F models and 350°F (177°C) on S18SF models.

Operating Instructions

The S18 series fryers are equipped with a temperature limiting safety system. To start the fryer operating:

1.Turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position.

2.Lift the toggle switch to the start position (momentarily up).

3.Release the switch. It will return to the run position. The green indicator lamp should be illuminated.

4.Turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature.

High Temperature Cutoff/Reset

Your Garland Fryer is equipped with a protective secondary thermostat. If the operating thermostat fails to control the temperature, the secondary (Hi-Limit) thermostat will take over. It will cut off power to the heating elements if the frying compound reaches a temperature greater than 430°F (221°C). The system cannot be reset until the frying compound drops in temperature by approximately 50°F (28°C). Repeating the starting procedure can reset the system.
