Features of the Fryer
1. The F series electric fryer is offered in 2 different models. One is a 1-tank fryer; another is a 2-tank fryer. The 2-tank
fryer can fry two different kinds of foods at the same time.
2. Oil temperature is regulated by the temperature regulator and includes a yellow (hot light) which cycles on and off to
indicate when desired temperature has been reached.
3. The automatic shut off feature will cut power when the oil has reached maximum allowable temperature. (446°F)
4. An automatic micro-switch is located at the bottom of the electrical enclosure. This will cut power from the electrical
unit if the enclosure is removed without unplugging the power cable.
5. The stainless steel tank has a removable oil insert with calibration marks for oil levels.
6. Heating coils are protected by a stainless panel base at the bottom of the unit.
