Operating Instructions

CAUTION

CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING

Take out baskets, push down and hold element catch, located on left side of element housing. Lift up on element lift handle until elements lock in a vertical position, and remove kettle. The kettle can be cleaned in a sink like any other pot or container.

ADDING FAT

Replace kettle and swing the element down by holding element lift handle and pushing release catch down and holding it there. Lower element. Fryer is now ready for use. Add fat. A fat level line on the rear of the kettle will guide you in determining the minimum cold fat level. A higher fat level can be used when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or fish cakes. The fat level should be chosen carefully so that the foaming action of the fat does not spill out of the kettle. If solid shortening is used, pack carefully around the elements. TMFE15 has one single 15lbs capacity kettle, TMFE30 has two.

CONTROLS

1.ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-pole switch which turns power on or off.

2.THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the Control Housing, this control allows you to select the desired frying temperature. A signal light indicates when the element is on. When the light goes off, the desired temperature has been reached.

3.HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450°F (230°C), this control will shut off the power. The light on the control panel will go out. The fat temperature must cool to

400°F (202.4°C) and the manual reset button located on the back panel of the control housing must be pressed to restore operation. Should the hi-limit control activate twice in succession, the primary thermostat should be checked for malfunction by a qualified service technician.

FRYING

After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200°F (92.4°C). After the fat has melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting. Included in this instruction booklet is a frying chart and some helpful hints on fat use. After the selected fat temperature has been reached, the signal light goes out. Slowly lower half filled baskets into the fat. Do not overload baskets as this causes foods to be improperly fried. When moist food is lowered too quickly into hot fat, the fat will foam and spatter excessively.

NOTE: Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying cycle. The kettle handles serve as basket hangers.

IDLING

During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 200°F (92.4°C). The fast recovery fryers can be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes. Lowering the temperature during idle periods saves energy costs and prolongs fat life. To turn off fryer turn the on/off switch to the "off" position.

DRAINING KETTLE

Turn switch to "OFF". Remove baskets. Raise element to the first stop and allow to drain. Raise the element to the vertical position and siphon the oil out of the kettle.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KETTLE FILLED WITH HOT OIL. CONTACTING HOT OIL CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES OR DEATH.

If you do not have a siphon, order one from your dealer or dip the oil out and strain into a container. After oil has been removed, remove the kettle and clean.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

The exterior surfaces can be cleaned by regularly wiping with a soft cloth. Any discoloration can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Contact the factory or one of its representatives or a local service company for service or maintenance if required.
