This hot plate is protected against overheating when running
empty or when using poor quality cookware, by a unique
built-in bimetal protector switch.
This protector cuts down the power automatically under the
above conditions, overriding the regular switch and it resets
itself when conditions return to normal. This is an important
safety feature.
Before Operating The Hot Plate
The top working surface has a heat resistant coating. Before
using the sealed hot plates for the rst time, they should
be heated for a short period without a pan to harden and
burn o the protective coating (3-5 minutes at the highest
setting).
Sealed Hot Plates
All purpose sealed top elements provide an ease-clean top.
They are intended for boiling, simmering, sauté and other
top cooking.

Part # 4521653 Rev 1 (03/05/13)Page 8
Operating practices are very important for the ecient use of
these elements:
1. Pot bottoms must be at. This increases heat transfer to
the pot. Do not use pots with either convex or concave in
excess of 1mm (1/32”).
2. Use pots with the same diameter as the elements when
possible. This will reduce heat up time.
3. Do not preheat the element. Elements are protected with
a high limit which automatically reduces the element to a
lower power. It will increase heat up time if this occurs.
4. Use a lid to cover the pots when boiling water.
Operating The Sealed Hot Plate
1. Before using the sealed hot plates for the rst time they
should be heated at setting 3 for 5 minutes, then turned
o and allowed to cool. This will harden and burn o the
protective coating.
2. Set the six heat switch dial to the desired position from 1
to 6.

Supply Connection
For supply connection, use wire suitable for 75°C (167°F).
Electrical Connection
A knockout is provided on the right side when facing the
rear of the unit. Access to the terminal block is gained by
removing the fry tank assembly, the rear shield and contactor
box cover all located at the rear of the fryer.
Before Operating the Fryer
1. Before leaving the factory, the fryer was tested and the
thermostat calibrated with oil in the fry tank; therefore, it
is necessary to clean the fry tank and the elements before
lling with frying compound. Use detergent or other
cleaning agents, with hot water. Thoroughly rinse and dry
fry tank.
2. To remove the fry tank, raise the element assembly by
means of the handle until the support engages, holding
the element assembly in the upright position. The
element assembly is lowered by moving the lock stop to
release unit from upright position.
Operating Suggestions
1. For liquid oil ll the frypot with oil to the bottom OIL
LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This allows
for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not ll cold oil any
higher than the bottom line; overow may occur as heat
expands the oil.
2. When using a solid frying compound, pack the tank
with the compound then turn the fryer on and o every
10 seconds and repack until compound has melted.
The fryer capacity is 17 Lbs. (7.7Kg) per tank. Scorched
shortening cuts down on the useable life and could
damage the fryer.
CAUTION: Never set a complete block of solid shortening on
top of heating elements.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when
the oil is at its cooking temperature. It may be necessary
to add oil or shortening to bring the levels up to the
proper mark, after reaching cooking temperature.
4. To prolong shortening life, avoid over heating and reduce
the temperature during idle periods.
5. Ensure shorting is up to frying temperature before
adding foods.

Part # 4521653 Rev 1 (03/05/13) Page 9
6. To increase the life of the shortening, it should be ltered
with Garland fryer lter cones daily or more often, if
necessary.
7. Baskets should never be more than half full.
8. Keep fat at operating level.
9. Fry pieces of similar size at the same time for best results.
10. Excessive moisture should be shaken from the product
before frying.
11. Your shortening manufacturer can supply excellent frying
and shortening guides.
Controls
1. All ED series fryers are equipped with a manually
resettable high limit located at the rear of the element
termination box. In the event that shortening
temperatures exceed normal limits, the high limit will trip
and can only be reset by pushing the red button when
shortening has cooled.
2. All ED series are equipped with a precision electronic
thermostat which has been factory calibrated and is
designed to hold that calibration. There should never be
the need to calibrate this thermostat in the eld. Should
there ever be an abnormal discrepancy in the set point
of actual temperatures, or repeated tripping on the high
limit occurs, the fryer should be serviced by an authorized
Garland service agency.

through a wire way.
Controls
Griddles are equipped with snap action thermostats.
Calibration Instructions
1. Field calibration is seldom necessary and should not
be attempted unless experience with cooking results
denitely proves that the control is not maintaining the
temperature to which the dial is set.
2. Should calibration be required, use a test instrument
(pyrometer) which special disc type thermocouple or
reliable“surface”type thermometer.
NOTE: A drop of oil on face of disc will provide better
contact.
3. Turn ALL griddle temperature control dials to 350°F
(177°C). In order to allow griddle temperature to stabilize,
the controls must be allowed to cycle twice before taking
a test reading.
4. Check temperature reading when control just cycles
“OFF”(as indicated by the cycling amber pilot), by placing
sensor rmly on griddle surface directly above sensing
bulb of control. If the temperature does not read within
15°F (8°C) of the dial setting recalibrate as follows.
5. Carefully remove the thermostat dial making sure the
setting is not disturbed.
6. Hold dial shaft steady and with a screwdriver, turn
calibration screw located inside the dial shaft, clockwise
to decrease and counterclockwise to increase the
temperature.
EXAMPLE: 1/4 turn = 35°F (19°C)
7. Replace thermostat dial and repeat steps 2 through 4 to
verify correct adjustment has been made.
