YSCFC24 SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 5: DAILY OPERATION/FILTRATION
5.1 OPENING
At opening, check the fryer for:
1.Combination or main gas valve "OFF".
2.Power Switch "OFF" (If so equipped).
For lighting the fryer, see Section 4.2 (Section 4.3 if equipped with Electronic Ignition).
5.2 GENERAL OPERATIONS STATEMENT
See the company Operations Manual for operating instructions prior to using the YSCFC24 Series gas fryer. Operating instructions in this chapter are intended for temporary use as a guide in absence of the company Operations Manual.
5.3 FILTERING
Shortening should be filtered at least daily, or more frequently if cooking is heavy. This assures the longest life possible for the shortening, imparts a better flavor to the product and minimizes flavor transfer. To ensure shortening quality, filtering and daily maintenance should be performed according to company Operations Manual.
WARNING
LEAVE FRYER OFF FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO FILTERING TO ALLOW FRYPOT HEAT TO DISSIPATE. FRYPOT DAMAGE CAN OCCUR IF THE SHORTENING IS DRAINED IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING FRYER OFF.
WARNING
WHEN OPERATING THE FILTRATION SYSTEM, NEVER LEAVE THE FILTER
UNATTENDED. THE ACTION OF THE SHORTENING MOVING THROUGH THE HOSE
LINES COULD JOLT A FLEXIBLE RETURN HOSE OUT OF THE FILTER PAN,
SPRAYING HOT SHORTENING AND CAUSING SEVERE BURNS.
DANGER
THE CRUMB TRAY IN FRYERS EQUIPPED WITH A FILTER SYSTEM MUST BE
EMPTIED INTO A FIREPROOF CONTAINER AT THE END OF FRYING OPERATIONS EACH DAY. SOME FOOD PARTICLES CAN SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST IF LEFT SOAKING IN CERTAIN SHORTENING MATERIAL.
