BEFORE FIRST USE

Cleaning

Using a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner, clean the protective metal oils from all surface parts and the fry tank interior. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's directions. Drain through the valve in the bottom. Rinse thoroughly and drain. Be sure to remove all traces of cleaner; it can affect the food taste. Wipe fry tank completely dry with a soft clean cloth.

Clean all fryer accessories. Rinse all parts thoroughly and wipe dry.

Seasoning

Light seasoning of the backsplash area is required to avoid possible surface corrosion. With a soft, lint-free cloth, apply a thin layer of cooking oil over entire backsplash area. This should also be done after every cleaning.

FILL FRY TANK WITH LIQUID SHORTENING

CAUTION: Before turning the burners on, the fry tank must be filled with liquid shortening. If this is not done, the tank walls can be damaged. Warpage can cause leaks.

DO NOT melt solid shortening in the fry tank. The fry tank will be damaged and the shortening will be scorched. Melt solid frying compound in a separate container, being careful to just melt and not overheat it; then carefully pour into fry tank.

Keep shortening between the MIN and MAX lines in the fry tank. DO NOT add shortening beyond the MAX line.

Shortening expands when heated. Adding shortening beyond the MAX line may cause an overflow of hot shortening.

Add fresh liquid frying compound as needed.
