holes of leg mounting plates and mount to the front channel. Mount rigid casters to the rear
channel following the same procedure. A locknut has been attached to the topside of the
base mounting plates at the factory to capture the hex head screw as it is screwed in.
5. Tighten the bolts to 5.65 joules (50 inch-lbs.) minimum torque.
CAUTION
For caster retrofit, the unit must be at room temperature and drained of shortening
before installing the casters.
3.3 Leveling the Fryer
A. Place a carpenter’s spirit level across the top of the fryer and level the unit front-to-back. If the
fryer is off level side to side, a platform or other surface adjustment is needed; there is no side to
side level adjustments on a fryer equipped with caster/leg combinations (If a fryer is equipped
with legs only, side to side level adjustments can be made. If a fryer is equipped with casters
only, no level adjustments to the fryer can be made.). If the fryer is not level, the unit may not
function efficiently, the oil may not drain properly for filtering and in a multi-fryer battery, it
may not match adjacent units.
Legs (Only)
1. Adjust leg height with an adjustable or 1-1/16"(27-mm) open-end wrench by turning the
hex bullet on the bottom of the leg.
2. The hex bullet is for minor leg height adjustment only. Do not adjust more than 1" (22-
mm).
3. When leveling the unit, the leg body should be held firmly to keep the leg from bending or
rotating while turning the hex bullet foot to the required height.
Rigid Casters (Only)
1. Install the rigid casters on the rear of the fryer only. Legs must be installed on the front of
the fryer.
2. There are no level-adjustments for the rigid casters.

3.7 Initial Cleaning Before Startup
New units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease,
etc., remaining from the manufacturing process, then coated lightly with oil. Wash thoroughly with
hot, soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris before food preparation, then rinse
out and wipe dry. Wash also any accessories shipped with the unit. Close the drain-valve
completely and remove the crumb screen. Make sure the screws holding the temperature probe onto
the heating elements are tight.
WARNING
All droplets of water must be removed from the frypot before filling with shortening.
Failure to do so will cause splattering of hot shortening and could cause injury to the
operator.
3.8 Final Preparation
A. The KSCFH18E frypot shortening capacity is approximately 90 pounds (40.5Kg).
B. Ensure fryer power switches are "OFF".
C. Ensure the tilt heating-elements are in the "down" position.
D. Liquid shortening (cooking oil): Fill the fryer to the lower OIL LEVEL line on the back of the
frypot. Replace the basket support screen.
WARNING
Never operate fryer without enough cooking compound or water in the frypot to
cover the heating elements.
DANGER
NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of heating elements. To do
so will damage the elements and increase the potential for flash-point shortening
temperatures and subsequent fire.
E. Solid shortening: Either pre-melt solid shortening on another appliance first or cut into small
pieces and pack tightly into the cool zone (bottom) of the frypot (with the heating elements in the
"up" position and OFF). Lower the heating elements and continue to pack the shortening, taking
care not to disturb the temperature probe (on heating elements) or the high-limit (mounted in
frypot). Ensure the float switch is in the "up" position prior to packing solid shortening.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3-8
3.8 Final Preparation (cont.)
Note: If the float switch is blocked in "down position" with solid shortening, the fryer will not
operate. Always ensure that the float switch is in the "up" position prior to packing solid
shortening into frypot.
F. KFC-1 Cooking Computer: Turn
computer on (this turns the fryer on
also). The computer will run the
fryer through the melt cycle to melt
the shortening. As the fryer heating
elements cycle on and off to melt
the shortening, the heat icons
located on either side of the KFC-1
product buttons will cycle on and
off. The computer will display
"LOw"until the shortening reaches
255°F (124°C).
At 255°F (124°C), the computer will display actual temperature until setpoint temperature has
been reached. When the fryer comes out of melt cycle, the fryer will go into continuous heat
mode until the setpoint temperature is reached. When the computer calls for heat, heat icons will
light while the heating elements are energized. At setpoint temperature, the computer will
display "DROP".
G. After shortening reaches the setpoint temperature, let the heating elements cycle at least four
times, then insert a good thermometer or pyrometer near the temperature sensing probe
approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) into the shortening. When the heating elements just cycle ON
after the fourth time, the thermometer should read within ?5°F (?2°C) of the computer
temperature setting.
H. When the frypot is filled and the shortening melted, replace the basket support-screen over the
heating elements.
DANGER
Always wear oil-proof, insulated gloves when working with the fryer filled with HOT
SHORTENING.
Always drain HOT SHORTENING into a metal container. HOT SHORTENING can melt
plastic buckets and crack glass containers.

CHAPTER 4: DAILY OPERATION
4-1
4.1 Opening
1. At opening time, always visually check that the computer is "OFF".
4.2 General Use
1. For consistent quality product, convenience and long-term savings, use a high-quality liquid
shortening.
2. If using solid shortening, never melt a block of shortening by setting it whole in the fryer
vessel.
3. Although 350°F (177°C) is the recommended temperature for most cooking operations, set
the fryer at the lowest possible temperature which produces a high quality end product while
ensuring maximum life for your shortening.
4.3 Start-up Procedures
1. If fryer is empty, pour enough liquid shortening into the frypot to fill to the bottom OIL
LEVEL line scribed on the rear wall. If solid shortening is to be used, melt the shortening
following procedures in Section 3.8, Final Preparation.
2. KFC-1 Cooking Computer:
Turn the computer "ON"
and select cooking program
as described in the KFC-1
Cooking Computer User’s
manual.
4.4 Filtering
1. The KFC-1 Computer must remain ON during filter operations to function properly.
2. Filter the shortening at least once daily or more frequently if cooking is heavy. This assures
the longest life possible for the shortening, a better taste to the food being prepared and
minimizes flavors being transferred from batch to batch.
