ADDING FRYING COMPOUND
Fill fry tank to the FULL mark (approximately 30 pounds) with liquid or melted frying compound. Do
not overfill. Do not use solid frying compound unless your fryer is equipped with the melt cycle option.
Air holes caused when packing solid frying compound into the fryer can cause hot spots on the heating
element sheath, resulting in momentary overheating of some of the frying compound and premature
frying compound breakdown. It can also damage the heating elements.
If your fryer is equipped with the melt cycle option, the fry tank can be filled with solid frying compound.
The melt cycle can also be used to melt frying compound which has solidified since its last usage.
Do not allow frying compound level to drop below the ADD mark. For proper operation of the fryer and
good frying results, the frying level should be maintained between the FULL and the ADD marks.
USING THE FRYER
CAUTION: Before turning the fryer on, the fry tank must be filled with liquid frying compound.
If this is not done, the tank walls can be damaged. Warpage can cause leaks.
Turn thermostat control knob to desired temperature.
Fryers Equipped with Melt Cycle Option: If you are using solid frying compound, push the MELT-
ON Switch to ON (white light comes on). It takes approximately 18 minutes to melt 30 pounds of solid
frying compound. After the solid frying compound has melted, push the MELT-ON Switch to OFF (white
lights goes out). The fryer will then heat the frying compound to the temperature set on the thermostat.
When the MELT-ON switch is turned ON, the cycling thermostat is non-functional. Setting a higher
temperature on the thermostat knob will not speed up the melting operation. The normal heating of
frying compound to frying temperatures will not function unless the MELT-ON Switch is turned OFF.
Fryers Without Melt Cycle Option: Push the red ON-OFF Switch to ON to put fryer into operation.
The yellow HEAT-ON light will stay on until the temperature set on the thermostat is reached, then the
light cycles off.
After a load has been fried, do not lower the next load into the frying compound until the HEAT-ON
light cycles off.
Do not overload the baskets; approximately half full or even less is correct. If foods are taking longer
to fry than the deep fat frying chart in this manual shows, or are not browning, overloading is a probable
cause. (Refer to the troubleshooting guide in this manual.)
TURNING THE FRYER OFF
Temporary Shutdown: Turn thermostat to OFF position.
Seasonal Shutdown: Turn thermostat to OFF position. Turn On-Off switch to OFF position.
