3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or vegetable oil 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 vegetable oil. Failure to
do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking
temperature.
1. Fill the frypot with vegetable 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.
2. 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.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
It may be necessary to add oil to bring the level up to the proper mark, after it has reached
cooking temperature.
Shutdown
1. Turn the fryer off.
2. Filter the vegetable oil and clean the fryers (See Chapters 4 and 5).
3. Place the frypot covers on the frypots.
