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 ro er level of
shortening by adding fresh oil/shortening
to the fry ot 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.

C A U T I O N
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 MINIMUM HOT OIL FILL LINE.

NOTE: Perform an initial Boil-Out to clean an
sanitize the fryer station 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: Because each fryer station is controlle
separately, the following proce ure must
be followe for every component fryer in
multiple-station units.
NOTE: Manual Boil-Out can only be performe
when the actual temperature of the
frypot is less than 230°F (110°C).
1. After emptying the fryer of oil or shortening, remove
filter cartridge from unit if equipped with a filtration
system. (See filtration instructions on page 19.) Close
the DRAIN. The handle should be rotated clockwise
until it stops.
NOTE: Always wear eye protection or a face
shiel an protective rubber gloves
when cleaning the frypot as boil-out
chemical is an alkaline solution an can
cause severe burns.
2. Fill the fryer to the maximum oil fill line with a
mixture of cold water and fryer boil-out solution.
Carefully follow the manufacturer’s directions for
mixing the boil-out solution.
3. Turn the Master Power Switch (located within the
front access door) to the “ON” position.
4. Wait until the LED reads “HEAt”, then press the
BOIL OUT button on the control panel.
5. When 192°F (89°C) is reached, the LED will display
“bOIL” and that temperature will be maintained.
Using a separate timer, allow the frypot to boil-out for
10 minutes.
6. Turn the Master Power Switch located behind the
front access door to the “OFF” position.
