•Add shortening as necessary for proper level.

•Revitalize with approximately 15% new oil daily.

CAUTION: Keep level of shortening at line above oil level line in fry tank.

SHORTENING HINTS

•Use good quality liquid shortening.

•Maintain a good turnover ratio.

•Keep equipment and surroundings clean.

•Filter shortening daily as a minimum.

•Set thermostats correctly.

•Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.

•Do not salt over a fryer.

•Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing in fryer.

FILTER SHORTENING DAILY

WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING FRYER.

Turn gas valve off when draining or filling.

Filter shortening at least once a day, as conditions warrant. A commercially available power filter (by other manufacturers) may be used. Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions for draining, straining, and replacing shortening in the fry tank.

Manual Filtering

To drain the shortening from the drain pipe through a filter bag or some other filtering material, follow this procedure:

Turn fryer off. Remove baskets carefully to avoid splashing. Open fryer door and attach drain pipe extension to drain valve. Be sure to use a container of sufficient capacity for the shortening. Place container below the drain pipe. If using a filter bag, tie securely to the drain pipe. If using some other filter medium, place filter above the container.

Carefully open the drain valve so the shortening flows through the filter. Flush out scraps and sediment from fry tank with a small quantity of warm shortening. Drain tank thoroughly and wipe clean. If it is necessary to clean tank more thoroughly, see CLEANING — WEEKLY OR AS NEEDED.

Close drain valve. Return strained shortening to fry tank. Add shortening to mark above oil level line.
