ASSEMBLY OF COLLECTRAMATIC®FRYERS
!CAUTION:
Prior to using equipment for the first time, perform the daily
cleaning procedure listed Under Daily Care on pages 15
through 17.
Before beginning the assembly process, wipe out cookpot and
collector with damp, lint-free towel. This removes any dust or
debris that may have accumulated. Never use water in the
fryer.
1. After uncrating your fryer, you will find two sets of o-ring
gaskets – two large and two small. (OF Models do not
receive the large gaskets, which are for the lid.)
2. Lubricate the smaller o-ring with cooking oil and install in
groove at top of collector (see Figure 1).
3. Install collector in bottom of fryer and gently tap with
stirring tool until it seats into place.
4. Check to determine that drain valve is closed.
(See Figure 2).
5. Fill with cooking oil to one inch below Minimum fill line.
Oil will expand as it is heated. Check oil level again once it
has heated to cooking temperature to verify that oil level is
between Minimum and Maximum marks.
!DANGER: Fire or heater damage may occur when
heaters are turned ON unless they are fully covered with
cooking oil.
6. Lubricate large o-ring with cooking oil and install in
groove around edge of lid.
7. Check to be sure that main vent assembly and dead
weight (pressure fryers only) are in place at rear of fryer.
(See figures 23 and 24, page 16)
