Initial Oil Fill

Read all the Warnings and Notices, and then proceed to Purging the Oil Lines.

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.

To avoid personal injury and fire, ensure that oil completely covers heating elements.

NOTICE -

Prior to use, thoroughly clean unit as described in Operator's Manual.
