Product Racking Recommendations

The rack positions are referenced starting at the bottom:

The bottom position is to be avoided on small loads because it is closer to the cold zone. (The oil is cooler at the bottom of the vat and hotter at the top.) With bigger loads, however, there is generally enough turbulence in the oil that the bottom rack gets sufficient heat.

The top position is to be avoided on small loads because of insufficient oil coverage. With bigger loads, the top rack has good oil coverage because the volume of product on the lower racks raises the overall oil level.
