OVER TEMPERATURE DEVICE
If the shortening becomes overheated, a high temperature shutoff device will turn the gas valve off and extinguish the pilot. DO NOT relight the pilot until the shortening temperature has lowered to at least 300°F (149°C). If the situation persists, contact your local Hobart service office.
TURNING THE FRYER ON
CAUTION: Before turning the burners on, the fry tank must be filled with liquid shortening. If this is not done, the tank walls can be damaged. Warpage can cause leaks.
Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. When the set temperature is reached, the gas control shuts off gas flow to the burners while the pilot remains lit. If cold food is introduced and the oil temperature falls, the burners will come on to maintain the temperature.
