CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Start-Up Procedure

WARNING

The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.

DANGER

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

1.Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.

2.If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, carry out the procedures in Section 3.2, Boiling-Out the Frypot before continuing with Step 3.

3.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.

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.

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 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.

4.Ensure that the oil is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at frying temperature. It may be necessary to add oil or shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark, after the oil or shortening has reached frying temperature.

5.Place the fryer into operation.

For units equipped with solid state (analog) controllers, place Power Switch and the Melt Cycle switch in the ON position. Set the temperature control knob to the desired cooking temperature, referred to as the setpoint.
