OPERATION
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.
BASIC CONTROL
Maximum shortening life is achieved by turning the fryer
stations off when not in use. In multiple-station units, heat
only the component fryers necessary to meet cooking
needs.
DELUXE CONTROL
Maximum shortening life is achieved by lowering the
temperature of the fryer to 250°F (121°C) whenever the
fryer is not being used. This is an automatic program
function through the control program
designation of “IdleMode.”The factory
default is set at a period of 30 minutes of
non use before triggering a temperature
decrease, however; this time period can be adjusted
between “0” and “60” minutes. (SEE PROGRAMMING THE
CONTRO )
FIRE OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE CAN RESULT
FROM IMPROPER SHORTENING LEVELS.
THE LEVEL OF SHORTENING MUST ALWAYS
BE ABOVE THE HEATING ELEMENTS WHEN
THE FRYER IS OPERATING.
THE REQUIRED SHORTENING LEVEL
MUST ALWAYS BE ABOVE THE
