SAFTEY
The major safety concern associated with the Ultrafryer Electric Fryer is burns from hot shortening. In order to prevent serious
burns, good housekeeping habits are required. The floor in front of and the area around the fryer should be kept clean and dry.
Whenever anything is placed into a fryer vat, care should be used not to splash the hot shortening. Product should always be
“PLACED” into the shortening, not thrown. Safety goggles, neoprene insulated gloves, and an apron must be worn while boil-
ing-out a fryer vat. Electrical controls used in the electric fryer operate off of the 208 or 240 volts three phase electrical power,
and no adjustments or replacement of electrical controls or parts should ever be attempted without first disconnecting ALL
electrical power. FAILURE to do so can result in serious electrical shock or death. It should be determined that ALL electrical
power has been removed prior to beginning a repair The fryer and its controls should never be operated with wet hands or while
standing in water. To do so can result in serious electrical shock or death
Fire in liquid shortening should always be a constant concern of team members operating or working nearby the Electric Fryer.
The fryer should be equipped with a Fire Suppression system, that automatically OPENS the shunt trip circuit breakers,
removing electrical power from the fryer if a fire occurs. In addition, this system MUST be inspected by a licensed distributor
each six (6) months to assure it is operational.
