Filtering

To avoid personal injury, do not move fryer or filter pan while containing hot oil. The filter pan must be as far back under fryer as it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.

To avoid severe burns when pouring hot oil into vat, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and take care to avoid splashing.

Slipping Hazard To avoid personal injury, do not exceed filter pan capacity (1 vat or 2 split vats).To avoid overfilling the filter pan, drain only 1 vat at a time. Make sure the floor area around equipment is completely clean and dry to avoid slip risks.

The oil level must always be above the heating elements and at the proper oil level indicator on the rear of the vat. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, severe burns, and/or damage to the fryer.

To avoid personal injury and fire, ensure that oil completely covers heating elements or gas burner tubes.

Do not bypass the Melt Cycle. The type of oil being used in the fryer determines the amount of heat applied during the Melt Cycle. If the controls are set to the Solid setting, less heat is applied to the solid oil than if the controls were set to Liquid. Too much heat applied to solid oil causes much smoking, and could cause a fire. Match this setting to the type of oil being used at the time. When using new solid oil, it is recommended to melt the solid oil on an outside source before placing oil in the vat.

NOTICE!: Solid oil is not recommended as it can cause clogging and pump failure.

Use high quality liquid frying oil in the open fryer. Some low grade oils have a high moisture content which causes foaming and boiling over.

To avoid serious personal injury or property damage, do not exceed maximum product capacity and filter as recommended by manufacturer.

Do not overload, or place product with extreme moisture content onto racks or in baskets.

• 10 lbs (4.5 kg) is the maximum amount of product per full vat

Oil Care

• To protect the oil when the fryer is not in immediate use, the fryer should be put into the Idle Mode.

• Frying breaded products requires filtering to keep the oil clean. Skim frequently throughout the day and filter thoroughly once a day.

• Discard oil if CHANGE OIL SOON displays or if the oil shows signs of excessive foaming or smoking.

• Maintain the oil at the proper cooking level. Add fresh oil as needed.
