FRYING GUIDELINES (All Models)
• Heat shortening to set temperature.
• Fry pieces of product that are about the same size together.
• Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into the hot shortening.
• Keep shortening between the MIN and MAX lines. Shortening will expand when heated; do not
fill the fry tank past the MAX line.
• Add fresh shortening as needed.
Fry Basket Guidelines
• Shake the basket gently to avoid splattering the shortening.
• Do not overfill baskets (see Recommended Basket Capacities below).
• Hang baskets on rear basket hangers when frying is complete.
• To help reduce batter buildup, dip the basket into shortening before loading.
