OPERATION

A. HEATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Never press the POWER SWITCH to FRYER unless the frypot is filled with shortening. Check shortening level marker inside the frypot for proper shortening level.

NOTE: The fryer is designed to be used with LIQUID SHORTENING only. Lard and solid shortening will solidify in thefilter pump, causing pump failure.

1.Program MENU KEY times and temperatures (see IOM Manual, p/n 301198).

2.Press POWER SWITCH to FRYER position.

a.The controller will energize the GAS CONTROL VALVES and the IGNITORS.

b.The GAS CONTROL VALVES will remain energized for 4 seconds while the flame sensor proves the flame.

c.At the end of the 4 second period, if flame has not been sensed, the gas valve will de-energize for 30 seconds. The controller will attempt three times to establish a flame.

d.If flame cannot be established in three tries, the controller will lock out. The power switch must be pressed to OFF, then back to FRYER to release the lock out.

e.If flame is sensed within the 4 second proving period, the GAS CONTROL VALVES will remain energized and the burners will continue to heat until the shortening has reached the programmed temperature. The readout will display “PRE” and “HEAT” and the selected MENU KEY, and the HEAT indicator will be lit until the shortening has reached temperature.

3.When the readout displays “00:00”, the fryer is ready to begin cooking.

B. COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Load frozen product into the BASKET. Using the plastic-coated handles, set the BASKET on the LIFT CRADLE. Press the “BASKET” KEY followed by the “DOWN ARROW” KEY. When the cradle if fully lowered, press the desired MENU KEY.

2.For fresh product, lower the basket and hand drop product just above the oil level to prevent splashing.

IMPORTANT: Different products contain different amounts of moisture, which will cause the hot oil to foam. Determining the maximum safe load size that will prevent hazardous overflow and splatter of hot oil. This can be accomplished by starting with a small load, and gradually increasing the load size until the maximum load which can be cooked without the oil foaming over the top of the frypot is reached.

3.At the completion of the timed cycle, the cradle will rise and the sonalert will sound.

The BASKET and the cooked product will be hot.

Contact with hot cooked product can cause serious injury.

4.Use the plastic-coated handles to remove the BASKET and dump the cooked product into a suitable tray or container.
