ADDING SHORTENING

If replacing shortening, place the block of shortening in the room with the fryer for 1 to 2 hours before using. This will soften the shortening and make it easier to divide.

CAUTION: Failure to remove crumb screens prior to addition of fresh shortening may cause fryer side walls to overheat, allowing shortening to reach flashpoint.

After draining shortening, allow the tank to cool down before adding all new shortening to avoid scorching new shortening.
