OIL/SHORTENING REQUIREMENTS
TheASF-75Grequires73-pounds(33kg)ofoilor
shortening in the frypot and the ASF-60G requires
62-pounds(28kg)ofoilorshortening.Useonlyquality,
high-grade oil/shortening in the fryer. The high moisture
content of many lower grade shortening will result in
excessivefoamingandboilover.Thecoldoil/shortening
level requirement for the fryer is indicated below.
NOTE: ALWAYS maintain the proper level of
shortening by adding fresh oil/shortening
to the frypot whenever needed.
Check the quality of the oil/shortening in the frypot on a
daily basis for signs of deterioration. Use an approved test
kit.Signsofshorteningdeteriorationincludeexcessive
boiling, smoking, foaming, bad taste, and rancid odor.
Discard any shortening before it degrades to the point
of affecting product quality. Always filter the oil on a
regular basis and keep the frypot clean.
Remove ice crystals and ensure that food is dry before
frying.Excessivewaterandicecancauseoiltosplatter
or overflow. Do not over fill the basket. Food needs to be
surrounded by oil for best frying results.
Maximumshorteninglifeisachievedbyloweringthe
temperatureofthefryerto250°F(121°C)orturningthe
fryer station off when not in use. In multiple-station units,
heat only the component fryers necessary to meet cooking
needs.

NOTE: Perform an initial boil-out to clean and
sanitize the fryer before operating.
Carbonized deposits along with an accumulation of oil
will eventually build-up on the interior of the frypot as
well as fryer accessories. It is important to periodically
remove these deposits, not only to maintain fryer
efficiency, but also to provide the highest product quality.
NOTE: Always wear eye protection or a face
shield and protective rubber gloves
when cleaning the frypot as boil-out
chemical is an alkaline solution and can
cause severe burns.
NOTE: Because each fryer is controlled
separately, the following procedure must
be followed for every unit in multiple-
fryer units.
NOTE: Manual Boil-Out can only be performed
when the actual temperature of the
frypot is less than 230°F (110°C).
1. Place the mobile oil drawer or heat safe container
under the drain. Rotate drain valve to “OPEN”to
drain oil. If equipped with the optional oil hand wand,
use the wand to pump oil into the frypot to further rinse
food particles out of the frypot. Carefully disconnect the
wand from fryer and drain any residual oil from the
wand into the frypot and then drain the remaining oil
from frypot.
2. Whilewearingheatresistantgloves,wipeexcessoilout
of inside of frypot with paper towel or clean rag.
3. If oil has been drained into a mobile oil drawer, empty
theoilfromthedrawer.Washtheoildrawer,rinsewith
clean water, and dry drawer thoroughly.
4. If the fryer is equipped with a filtration system, clean
or replace the filter in the filter cartridge and remove
