When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.
When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake the basket several times.
Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or
basket. If you use the basket, first dip the basket into the shortening to
reduce batter-build up on basket surfaces.
When frying is completed, remove basket or product. Hang basket on rear
hanger.

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 TANK 1. Turn the thermostat to OFF.
2. To keep the pilot lit, turn the gas valve to PILOT.
3. Direct the drain spout into the container that you want to drain the shortening into.
4. Open the drain valve. The oil will drain into the container. When the container is
full or the fryer tank is empty, close the drain valve. Repeat this step until the fryer
is empty.
5. If desired, perform the weekly clean-out as described under CLEANING.
6. Once tank is completely empty, add new shortening and set thermostat to desired
temperature.
