COUNTERTOP FRYERS

SECTION 3 - OPERATION

D. Preparation for Operation

1.Choose a Shortening.

Choose a shortening made especially for commercial deep frying. The investment in good quality shortening will be rewarded with a long time use and fried foods of high standards. Shortening for frying should be bland in taste so it will not impart off flavors to foods. It is essential that the shortening selected have a high smoke point, well above the recommended frying temperatures. When the shortening reaches its smoking point, it begins to break down and becomes indigestible. Even with normal use, the composition of shortening changes and the smoking point becomes lower as it is used. Generally, hydrogenated fats, because of their high smoke point and resistance to break down, are considered ideal for deep frying. There are a number of reputable concerns packing shortening of this type who guarantee the smoke point of their product to be well above 400°F (204.4°C).

2.Be sure the power ON/OFF switch and the thermostat dial are at the “OFF” position.

3.Check that shortening drain valve is closed as shown in Figure 3-1.

4.Fill the cooking vessel with specified amount of shortening. Refer to Specification Chart.

WARNING: If solid shortening is used, pack tightly around heating elements. Turn power switch to ON and set thermostat dial to 250°F (121.1 °C) until the elements are immersed in the melted shortening. Do not start fryer from cold (OFF) to high temperatures above 250°F (121.1 °C), because heating element sheath temperature rises continually while elements are energized, resulting in scorched shortening and hastened fat breakdown.

E.Daily Operation

1.Turn the main power disconnect switch ON.

2.Turn the power switch ON. Refer to Figure 3-1.

3.Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired temperature. Allow the fry kettle to preheat until the “Heating” Signal Light goes out. The “Heating” Signal Light will cycle on and off as the fry kettle heats.

4.To shutdown, turn thermostat dial OFF and then turn Power Switch OFF. When the “OFF” mode is depressed, the green signal light should go out, which serves as a daily test of both operating and safety circuit contactors. The green light remaining on after the “OFF” switch is depressed indicates contactor failure.

5.Turn main disconnect switch OFF.

NOTE: Shortening Daily Usage-

•At least once a day, cool a small amount of shortening and taste to see if it has picked up any foreign flavors. If so, discard shortening load, clean shortening container and refill with fresh shortening.

•Revitalize Shortening.

Shortening begins to break down from the first time it is used, however, the life of good shortening may be prolonged by the following. At least once a day, replace 15% of shortening in use with fresh shortening (the difference between “FULL” and “ADD FAT” marks represents approximately 15% of shortening capacity of 4 1/2 pounds when shortening is hot). At all times KEEP SHORTENING LEVEL ABOVE THE TOP HEATING ELEMENT.
