FRYING GUIDELINES (ALL MODELS)

FRYING

•Heat shortening to set temperature.

•Pieces of product to be fried should be about the same size to ensure the same doneness.

•Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into the hot oil.

•Do not overfill baskets.

•Carefully lower basket into oil.

•When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.

•When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake basket several times in a way that does not splatter the shortening.

•Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use the basket, first dip basket into shortening to reduce batter build-up on basket surfaces.

•When frying is completed, remove basket or product. Hang basket on rear basket hanger. Remove food and season it. Do not salt food over the shortening because salt could cause a chemical change in the oil.

DAILY FILTERING

WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.

Filtering Procedure

1.Turn the fryer off.

2.Slowly remove the baskets and raise the elements out of the tank, especially if shortening is hot, to prevent splashing.

3.Open the fryer door and attach the drain pipe to the drain valve.

4.Select a container of sufficient capacity and place it below the drain pipe.

5.If you are using a filter bag, tie it securely to the drain pipe. If other filter medium is used, place it in the container.

6.Open the drain valve carefully so the oil stream is directed through the filter.

7.With a small amount of warm shortening, flush out scraps and sediment in the fry tank. Drain the tank thoroughly and wipe clean.

8.If it is necessary to clean the tank more thoroughly, follow the procedure shown in CLEANING — WEEKLY OR AS REQUIRED in this manual.

9.Close the drain valve.

10.Pour strained shortening back into the tank.

11.Shortening level should be between the MIN and MAX lines. If using new solid shortening, refer to MELT OPTIONS procedures in this manual.
