Both liquid and solid shortening can be used in the fryer, but liquid is preferred. To melt solid shortening, carefully follow the instruction in section 2.2.2.

2.1.1 Filling the Fryer With Liquid Shortening

a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.

b. Fill the fryer with oil to the "Oil Level" line marked on the back of the tank.

2.1.2 Filling the Fryer With Solid Shortening

WARNING

Never melt blocks of solid shortening on top of the burner tubes. This will cause a fire and will void your warranty.

a.Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.

b.Remove the screen covering the tubes.

c.Cut the shortening into cubes no larger than 1".

ALWAYS pack the shortening below, between, and on top of the burner tubes. DO NOT leave any large air gaps. Use care when packing the solid shortening in the tank. DO NOT bend or break the temperature sensor probes. If these are damaged the fryer will not function properly.

d. Once the fryer is packed with shortening, the short- ening must be melted. To melt the shortening, refer to Fryer Start-Up, section 2.2.1, and Melting Solid Shortening, section 2.2.2.
