It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be used in the O&301/302/303 and
inscribed on the rear of the cookpot wall. The top indicator shows when the heated shortening is at the proper level. Cold shortening should be at the bottom indicator, since the shortening will expand when heated.
Hot shortening must be maintained at the level indicator on each cookpot, or fire could result. It is also recommended to use gloves when in contact with hot shortening. Shortening and all metal parts that are in contact with the shortening are extremely hot and severe burns could result.
Moving the fryer with hot shortening in the cookpots or filter pan is not recommended. Hot shortening can splash out and severe burns could result.
The Henry Penny Open Fry Station with dual timers con- tains solid state controls for each cookpot. The following is brief description of the operating procedures.
1.Be sure the drain valve is in the closed position.
2.Place basket support inside of cookpot.
3.Fill the cookpot with shortening.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt the shortening on an outside heating source before placing it in the cookpots. Heating elements and the slope of the gas cookpot must be completely submerged in shortening. Fire could result, or damage to the cookpot could result.
