1.Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the middle line. The smaller of the two frypots holds 110 pounds of cooking oil or shortening; the larger frypot holds 160 pounds.

If solid shortening is used, first raise the elements, then pack solid shortening into the bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and then pack solid shortening around and over the elements. Never insert a solid block of shortening into frypot on top of the elements. Hot spots and element damage will occur, and the potential for flash-fire increases.

DANGER

NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of heating elements. Doing so will damage the elements and increase the potential for flash-point shortening temperatures and subsequent fire.

2.Ensure that the power cords are plugged into the appropriate receptacles. Verify that the faces of the plugs are flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.

3.Press the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position and allow the cooking oil or shortening to reach the programmed cooking temperature. (Refer to the separate computer/controller manual provided with the fryer for details of programming and using the controller.) If solid shortening is used, the MELT CYCLE must be used to melt the shortening. DO NOT DISABLE OR CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE!

4.Ensure that the oil level is at but not above the top OIL LEVEL line. It may be necessary to add oil or shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark after the oil has reached the programmed cooking temperature.

5.Once the oil in the frypot has reached the programmed cooking temperature and the oil level has been verified to be at the top OIL LEVEL line, the unit is ready for frying.

SHUTDOWN

1.Press the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position (the LED displays on the computer go dark).

2.Filter the cooking oil (if applicable) and clean the fryer (See Chapter 3).

3.Place the frypot covers on frypots.
