2.9 FILLING THE COOKING TANK

Refer to the following procedure to fill the cook tank prior to operation.

FRY POT OIL CAPACITY:

SELV14X, SELV14 = 30 lbs (13.6 kg)

 

SELV14TX,SELV14T = 16 lbs (6.8 kg)

It is recommended that a high quality liquid frying oil be used.

Solid shortening must not be used, or clogged pump lines, and pump damage are possible

1.Verify that the tank interior is clean and free of any construction debris.

2.Rinse the tank and drain line with a small amount of clean cooking oil.

3.Ensure that the drain valve is closed.

4.Fill the tank with oil. You may fill the tank to the “MIN LEVEL” mark or slightly below the nominal level mark: the oil will expand slightly when it heats up, raising the level slightly.

WARNING

THE PUSH BUTTON TOP OFF SYSTEM IS NOT INTENDED TO FILL FRY POTS.

WARNING

Replace shortening that is smoking, or foams when cooking. Old shortenings have reduced flash point, and are prone to surge boiling. Using old shortening may create dangerous conditions

WARNING

Do not overload the fry baskets, or allow the oil level to exceed the MAX line while cooking. Wet product, or too much oil in the frypot can lead to surge boiling, and over topping the frypot. Overtopping may create hazards such as burns or slippery floors.

CAUTION

This appliance is NOT designed for cooking with water. Severe equipment damage will occur if a

fryer is used as a water bath for rethermalizing foods.

WARNING

Oil must completely cover the heating elements at all times while appliance is on.

2.10 COOKING GUIDELINES

Don’t over fill baskets. Filling baskets more than half full by volume may result in foaming over the top of the fryer.

Don’t overload the fryer. The rated load is 1.5 pounds (.68 Kg) per basket, up to the maximum volume fill noted above. Over filling baskets can cause uneven cooking, and result in oil foaming over the top of the fryer.

Do not load the fry baskets over the frypot. Removing the baskets from the fryer to load food reduces the need to filter.
