THERMOSTAT CONTROL dial. Used to set or adjust the temperature of the well. The numbers on the dial correspond with the oil temperature. The “0” position is off.

B

OVER TEMPERATURE RESET SWITCH and COVER.

Remove cover to access the reset switch. If the oil reaches a temperature of 430°F (221°C) this switch cuts power to the unit.

C

HIGH OIL LEVEL. This is the maximum level mark for the well.

Do not fill with oil above this mark because it may cause oil to overflow the well after the basket of food has been added.

D

LOW OIL LEVEL. This is the minimum level mark for the well.

Do not operate with oil below this level as the oil may overheat and start a fire.

E

LIFTING HANDLES. Used to lift the well in and out of the unit for oil disposal and cleaning.

F

Once the temperature has been reached the light will go out.

Unit will continue to maintain heat and temperature with light cycling on and off. This is not an “ON/OFF” light.

o peration

Follow these same instructions for each well of a two well unit. Each well operates independently and may be operated a different temperatures.

1. Remove basket(s) from fryer.

2. Fill or add oil/solid shorting to the well (F). Always maintain oil level between High Oil Level (C) and Low Oil Level (D) as indicated on the side of the well. See Figure 1. DO NOT overfill.

WARNING

Burn Hazard.

Do not touch hot liquid or heating surfaces while unit is heating or operating.

Hot liquids and food can burn skin. Allow the hot liquid to cool before handling. Do not drop or spill water into hot oil as it will spray or splatter the hot oil out of the tank.

WARNING

Fire Hazard.

Overheated oil or oil vapors can ignite causing a fire. Monitor oil temperature, quality and level. Use and maintain oil vapor removal system.

Heat oil carefully. If oil smokes, reduce heat. Do not leave unit unattended. If fire occurs, turn unit off, cover until cool. Do not put water on hot or flaming oil. Do not operate with oil below low oil mark. Dirty oil has a lower flash point. Replace oil on a regular basis. Maintain correct oil level. Use an oil vapor removal system

(hood) to reduce oil and grease buildup on wall or ceiling surfaces.

3. Adjust the thermostat control (A) to the desired temperature; the pilot light (H) indicates when the elements are energized. If lard or solid type oil is used the unit must be pulsed in 1 to 2 minute on and off cycles at low-med temperature until liquid covers the heating coils. This will reduce smoking and risk of fire.

4. Allow the unit to preheat and the oil to come up to cooking temperature, approximately 15 minutes. The pilot light (H) will cycle when the oil has reached the set temperature.

5. Load each basket; NEVER more that half way full.

6. Carefully lower the basket into the cooking oil.

7. When removing the basket from the oil, allow the excess oil to drain back into the well before transferring to holding area.

o il

t ips

1. Use high quality oil.

2. Cook at temperatures that are recommended by food manufacture.

3. Change oil as needed or food quality requires.

4. Skim oil often and filter daily.

5. Cover oil overnight.

1. Allow the unit and oil to cool completely before cleaning.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock.

Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Do not use unit if power cord is damaged or has been modified

2. Unplug the unit.

3. Do not immerse the cord, plug or controls in water or any other liquid.

4. Rotate the fryer head to the up position (A). See Figure 2.

5. Carefully remove the well(s) (C) from the unit and filter or discard used oil.

6. Using a damp cloth or sponge dipped in soapy water to clean the unit and well(s); rinse thoroughly.

Or, you may also fill the well(s) (C, Figure 1) with water and dish washing liquid. Lower fryer head to the down position (B) and boil it for a few minutes; rinse thoroughly. It’s important that the unit doesn’t run dry as it will cause the element to burn out.

This unit is equipped with a switch that cuts off power if the oil temperature reaches 430°F (221°C). This switch has a manual reset. The reset switch and cover (B) is located on the front panel of the unit. See Figure 1. Determine what caused the safety switch to activate and correct it. Possible causes include; dirty oil, low oil level and element not properly submerged in oil.

To reset the temperature safety switch:

1. Wait until the oil has cooled to 300°F (149°C) or below.

2. Remove the switch cover (A) by unscrewing counterclockwise.

See Figure 3.
