EQUIPMENT SET UP AND SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES
NOTE: Should you experience a power failure, your fryers will shut off automatically. Once the power
has been restored, press the 
key to turn the fryer
back ON. If the machine is being filtered, close the RED return valve so that the filter does not run if the machine is left unattended. Do not attempt to restart the fryers until the power is restored.
Filling the fryer with oil:
It is very important to make sure the oil level is correct before attempting to heat shortening in your Pitco fryer.
Liquid shortening can be poured directly into the fry tank until the correct level has been reached. This is indicated by a line on the right hand side of the inside of the tank.
NOTE: The “COLD” level is considered to be the “MINIMUM” oil level and the “HOT” level is con- sidered to be the “MAXIMUM” oil level.
For solid shortening, the shortening must be cut into small blocks about 1" (2.54 Cm) in size. These small blocks must be placed under and around the heating elements.
The fryer can now be turned ON.
Set-Up:
NOTE: Please read the Operating instructions thor- oughly before attempting to operate this equipment.
Press the 
key on either side of the full vat computer, or the right 
key for the right side
and the left 
key for the left side of a split vat
computer to turn the unit ON.
The computer display will light and the heating elements will begin to heat and will be controlled by the computer/controller.
NOTE: It is recommended that melt cycle be used
. This will extend the shortening life. In melt cycle the shortening turns from solid to liquid gradually through short, controlled bursts of heat. Once the predetermined temperature has been reached, the unit will exit the melt cycle and go to normal operation.
Make sure that the shortening is at the proper level after cooking temperature has been reached. It may be necessary to add shortening to maintain the proper level.
NOTE: When adding solid shortening to an empty fry tank, first remove the baskets and support racks and fill the bottom of the tank with shortening, con- tinue to pack the remaining shortening into the tank. Place the basket support rack on top of the shorten- ing before turning the unit ON.
For liquid shortening fill to the level lines indicated on the side of the tank.
NOTE: Maximum cooking load is not to exceed 3lbs (6.6kg) per basket.
CAUTION:
Excessive loading or loading of
Shut Down:
Press the corresponding 
key to turn the
