SHORTENING The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level
indicators on the rear of the frypot (Figure 3-3). Failure
to follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or
damage to the fryer.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before plac-
ing it in the frypots. The burner tubes must be completely
submerged in shortening. Fire or damage to the frypot
could result.

INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
ONLY FILTER WHEN “COOL” IS DISPLAYED.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING
OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT, CAUSING SERIOUS
BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE,AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
High volume cooking could cause the cold zone to fill quicker with
cracklings and cleaning may be required more often. Part of the pro-
cess involves removing cracklings from the cold zone of the frypot.
1. Turn POWER/PUMP switch to OFF position.
2. Make sure filter drain pan is under fryer and the filter union
is fastened to the filter standpipe, coming out of the pan.
The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as
it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the
cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.
Failure to follow these instructions causes splashing of
shortening and could result in personal injury.
Surfacesof fryer and racks will be hot. Use carewhen
filteringtoavoidgettingburned.
3. Remove cooking racks, carrier and wipe bottom of lid. Tilt
lid out of the way to clean frypot.
4. Pull drain handle towards you to open drain valve. The handle
should point straight out to the front of the fryer. Use large
white brush to clean cracklings from the elements and from
sides and bottom of frypot as shortening drains. Use the drain
cleanout rod to push cracklings through drain opening in bottom
of frypot if necessary. Using the small straight white brush,
clean between the elements and the frypot wall.
BRUSH ALL CRACKLINGS FROM FRYPOT SUR-
FACES AND THE COLD ZONE DURING THE FILTE
TERING PROCESS. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN
RESULT IN SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE
FRYPOT, WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS,
PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
