3-3. FILLING OR ADDING SHORTENING

The shortening level must always be at the frypot level indicator on the rear of the frypot (see photo on next page). Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or damage to the fryer.

When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt the shortening on an outside heating source before plac- ing it in the frypots. The elements on electric fryers, or the frypot surface on gas fryers, must be completely submerged. Fire or damage to the frypot could result.

1.It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be used in the fryer. Some low grade shortenings have a high moisture content and will cause foaming and boiling over.

To avoid severe burns when pouring hot shortening into frypot, wear gloves and take care to avoid splashing.

2.The electric model 500 requires 48 lbs. (21.8 kg) of liquid shortening, and the gas model requires 43 lbs. (19.5 kg). Model 500 fryers have 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall of the frypot, whereas the model 600 has only 1 level indicator. The level indicator lines show the proper shortening levels.

3.Cold shortening should be filled to 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) below

a single level indicator line, and frypots with 2 level indicator lines, cold shortening should be even with the lower level indicator line. The shortening expands when heated and should be at the level indicator line when the shortening is hot, or the top level indicator line on model 500s.
