Filling or Adding Oil

Overflow Risk

• The oil may be stirred only during the morning start up procedure. Do not stir the oil at any other time.

• Moisture and crackling settles at the bottom of the vat during normal operation. Manually stirring the oil brings the water and hot oil into contact.

• Ensure the fryer is level.

• Ensure the oil is at the appropriate level. Oil should never be above the upper vat “fill” line.

• Ensure the gas control valve and burners are properly adjusted. (Gas units only)

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in oil overflowing the vat which could cause serious burns, personal injury, fire, and/or property damage.

The oil level must always be above the heating elements or gas burner tubes 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 severe burns when pouring hot oil into vat, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and take care to avoid splashing.

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.
