EXTENDING SHORTENING LIFE

Shortening life can be extended by the following guidelines:

Do not salt foods over the fryer.

Use good-quality shortening.

Filter shortening daily (at a minimum).

Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.

Keep equipment and surrounding clean.

Set thermostat correctly.

Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing on fryer.

DRAINING THE OIL

Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning, and servicing the fryer.

1.Turn the thermostat knob to the OFF position. .

2.Insert the drain extension into the drain valve. Tighten only hand tight.

3.Direct the drain extension into the mobile filtering device that you want to use.

4.A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always filter shortening between 250°F

and 350°F. The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if the heat is only on for a few minutes. If necessary, use the clean-out rod to carefully move the hard shortening to an area above the cold zone where it will melt.
