Electric Pressure Fryer

Operation

 

 

Start-Up (FKM-FC)

1.Make sure the main drain valve is closed.

2.Fill pot with shortening to about one inch below the mark.

Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below the minimum oil level. The level of oil within the pot must not fall below 5mm of the maximum oil level.

Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers guidelines for lifecycle of oil/shortening.

Overfilling the fryer pot with shortening could lead to serious injury. Ensure that the fryer pot is filled with shortening only to the fill mark when shortening is hot. Do not use any shortening other than what is specified in this manual and do not overfill the fryer pot.

The FKM-FC fryer has a maximum temperature setting of 390º F (200º C). Do not use oil/shortening with a flashpoint less than 554º F (290º C)

Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke point and no additives.

3.Place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to the FRY position. The question “Is the Fry Pot filled – If yes press ENTER” will appear on the computer display. The shortening will heat and begin to reach the fill mark inside the pot.

4.Add more shortening as required to reach the fill mark. Once the oil reaches the fill mark, press the ENTER button. The computer will display “STIR OIL” and automatically enter the STIR OIL mode. In this mode the computer will heat the oil to 255°F and hold that temperature.

5.Stir the oil freely while it is heating. Press the 0 button when finished stirring the oil.

IMPORTANT! Before the first cooking operation each day, stir the shortening freely while it is heating to provide a balanced shortening temperature for excellent results with the first cooking. Failure to do this can result in a crusty skin on the product surface with an undercooked product internally. In addition, in some cases, failure to stir the shortening while it is initially heating may cause the HI-LIMIT safety device to disable the power due to a false overtemperature condition.

Cooking (FKM-FC)

Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure.

Serious burns may result.

1.Ensure that the Start-Up procedures have been performed.

2.Press the desired program number on the keypad. The computer will still display "LOW". The fryer will begin to heat to the temperature that has been factory preset. When "READY" appears on the display, the fryer is up to the desired temperature and the product can be loaded.

3.When frying chicken, lower the basket into the shortening in the Fryer pot.

Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when dropping chicken into pot. Carefully drop pieces of chicken into pot to prevent shortening splashes.

This system allows bakers to introduce steam during the baking process, which is essential for achieving that perfect crust on artisan breads and pastries. The steam function can be adjusted easily, providing flexibility for different baking needs.

Space efficiency is another noteworthy aspect of the FKM series. These ovens are designed to fit into limited kitchen spaces without compromising on capacity. The FKM-F and FKM-FC models offer multiple baking racks, making them suitable for high-volume operations while still being compact enough for smaller kitchens.
