The shortening level must always be above the heating elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level indicators on the rear of the frypot (Figure 3-3). 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 heating elements must be completely submerged in shortening. Fire or damage to the frypot could result.

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

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