OIL/SHORTENING REQUIREMENTS
Each
C A U T I O N
Cold oil or shortening expands as the temperature increases. To avoid injury and equipment damage, allow for expansion by filling to the cold oil fill line.
NOTE: ALWAYS maintain the proper level of shortening by adding fresh oil/shortening to the frypot whenever needed.

dANGER
The flash point of shortening occurs at a lower temperature the longer the shortening is used. discard any shortening showing signs of deterioration to avoid serious burns, fire, and property damage.
Check the quality of the oil/shortening in the frypots on a daily basis for signs of deterioration. Use an approved test kit. Signs of shortening deterioration include excessive boiling, smoking, foaming, bad taste, and rancid odor. Discard any shortening before it degrades to the point
of affecting product quality. Always filter the oil on a
regular basis and keep the frypot clean.
C A U T I O N
ENSURE THERE IS NO WATER IN THE FRYPOT BEFORE FILLING WITH OIL/SHORTENING. WHEN COOKING COMPOUNDS ARE HEATED TO COOKING TEMPERATURE, WATER IN THE FRYPOT WILL CAUSE OIL TO SPLATTER AND MAY BE A BURN HAZARD.
Remove ice crystals and ensure that food is dry before frying. Excessive water and ice can cause oil to splatter or overflow. Do not over fill the basket. Food needs to be
surrounded by oil for best frying results.
Maximum shortening life is achieved by lowering the temperature of the fryer to 250°F (121°C) or turning the fryer station off when not in use. In
C A U T I O N
FIRE OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM IMPROPER SHORTENING LEVELS. THE LEVEL OF SHORTENING MUST ALWAYS BE ABOVE THE HEAT EXCHANGERS WHEN THE FRYER IS OPERATING.
THE REqUIREd SHORTENING LEVEL MUST ALWAYS
bE AbOVE THE MINIMUM HOT OIL FILL LINE.
