3.6FINAL PREPARATION:
a.When using liquid shortening (cooking oil), fill the fryer to the “oil level” line scribed into the back of the fryer vessel.
b.When using solid shortening, either melt it first, or cut into small pieces and pack into cool zone (bottom) of the frying vessel. Do not leave any air spaces or disturb the sensing bulbs. Melt shortening by turning the heaters “ON” for five or ten seconds, “OFF” for a minute, repeating cycle until shortening is melted. If oil starts to smoke while melting this way, shorten the “ON” cycle and lengthen the “OFF” cycle. Smoke indicates oil scorching, shortening its useful life.
NOTE: Never melt a solid block of shortening by setting it in the vessel or on top of the heating elements. This is unsafe, inefficient and dangerous.
c.When the fryer vessel is filled and the shortening melted, replace the crumb screen gently over the heater elements to prevent splashing of hot oil. Wear gloves when replacing the crumb screen.
d.Before starting operation, turn the temperature controller to the probable working temperature; wait for the temperature to stabilize then check with a
WARNINGS!
NEVER OPERATE FRYER WITHOUT ENOUGH COOKING COMPOUND OR WATER IN THE VESSEL TO COVER THE HEATING ELEMENTS.
