CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures

Setup

DANGER

Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water, oil or shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.

DANGER

Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil or shortening. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil or shortening is heated to cooking temperature.

1.Fill the frypot with 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 bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.

NOTE: If solid shortening is used, first raise the elements, then pack the shortening into the bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and then pack the shortening around and over the elements to the lower mark. It may be necessary to add shortening to bring the level up to the upper mark after the packed shortening has melted. Cooking oil/shortening capacity of H17 series fryer is 50 lbs. (25 liters) at 70°F (21°C).

DANGER

Never set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating elements.

When using solid shortening, always pre-melt the shortening before adding it to the frypot. If the shortening is not pre-melted, it must be packed down into the bottom of the frypot and between the elements, and the fryer must be started in the melt-cycle mode.

Never cancel the melt-cycle mode when using solid shortening. Doing so will result in damage to the elements and increase the potential for a flash fire.

2.Replace the basket support rack on top of the heating elements.

3.If the fryer is not hard-wired into the power supply, ensure that the power cord is plugged into the appropriate receptacle. Verify that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
