CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Start-Up Procedure

DANGER

Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or cooking oil/shortening before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may cause a fire.

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.

CAUTION

Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve is closed. Remove the basket support rack, if installed, and fill the frypot to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.

Solid shortening must be pre-melted prior to filling frypot.

CAUTION

No warranty is provided for any Frymaster fryer used in a mobile installation or concession. Warranty protection is only offered for fryers installed in accordance with the procedures described in this manual.

Ensure that the following steps are done in sequence before lighting or re-lighting the pilot:

1.Turn off the manual shut-off valve on the incoming service line.

2.Turn the operating thermostat.

3.Turn the gas valve knob to OFF.

4.Wait at least 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to disperse.

5.Fill the frypot with oil, liquid shortening or water to the bottom OIL LEVEL line scribed on the frypot back. Solid Shortening: Pre-melt solid shortening prior to filling frypot.

ACCESSING THE PILOT

The pilot is mounted on the left side of the burner manifold and is accessed through an opening in the front frypot insulation. Swing the round cover open and insert a long match or taper through the hole (see photo at right) when lighting the pilot.

Insert match or taper through this hole to light pilot.
