MAINTENANCE

OVER NIGHT SHUTDOWN

1.Turn the temperature control knob to the off position. Or turn the Off/Pilol/On valve control to Pilot if you wish not to change the temperature setting. (The pilot flame alone will keep the frying compound temperature to 130-145 degrees F. when not under any load. This will shorten preheat time when turned back on.)

EXTENDED SHUTDOWN (4 DAYS OR LONGER)

1.Turn the temperature control knob to the off position.

2.Turn the Off/Pifot/On valve control knob to the off position.

3.Turn the manual control valve under the unit to the off position.

4.Turn the supply valve to the off position (not supplied by APW Wyott).

5.The entire flue duct opening on the top rear of unit must always be left uncovered.

Filling Fry Tank (CAUTION: NEVER LIGHT PILOT OR TURN BURNERS ON WITH EMPTY TANK)

1. Fill the fry tank approximately 3/4" below the full line. The fry compound will expand as it is heated. Heat the fry compound to 375 degrees for 20 minutes then check the level. Add or decrease amount of fry compound so it lines up with the full line.

2. When using solid frying compound, put enough compound in fry tank so at least half or more of the tank has compound in it. Then set the temperature to 200 degrees on dial and allow the compound to liquefy. Add to adjust compound level.

3. Use a quality frying compound.

4. Filter the frying compound frequently, at least onceIa day.

5. Skim out food particles frequently with a strainer/skimmer.

6. Add at least 15% (of fry tank capacity) of fresh frying compound daily (more if possible) without overloading tank. If 15% of frying compound is not used daily, remove some of the compound for other use (gravy, griddle frying, etc.) to permit adding 15% of fresh compound daily.

7. Do not overload the fry baskets. This will result in longer recovery time, longer cook time, and compound absorption into the product.

8. Prepare the food properly.

9. Keep salt out of the frying compound. Do not salt foods with the basket above the kettle.

10. Ensure a good thermostat operation by checking frying compound temperature with a reliable frying thermometer. Temperature of compound should be comparable to thermostat setting.

11. Keep the fry tank and thermo-probes clean.

The fryer control is factory calibrated. If cooking8results indicate unit is not maintaining correct temperatures, consult an authorized service representative.
