FILLING FRY TANK (CAUTION: NEVER LIGHT PILOT OR TURN BURNERS ON WITH EMPTY TANK)
First Use: Prepping the fryer for use
Before the fryer can be put to use, the fry tank needs to be burned in. To “Burn in” the fry tank for use, refer to the
cleaning section and follow the instructions for cleaning the Fry Tank.
1. Close the drain valve before lling the fry tank.
2. Fill the fry tank approximately 3/4’’ below the full line. The fry compound will expand as it is heated. Heat the fry
compound to 375°F for 6 to 10 minutes then check the level. Add appropriate amount of fry compound so it lines
up with the full line.
3. Remove the basket support rack when lling the fry tank with solid compound.
4. When using solid frying compound, be careful not to bend, break, or twist the thin capillary wires of the sensing
elements located in the fry tank.
5. Pack solid shortening below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an inch above the top of the
tubes before turning on the thermostat.
If any air spaces are left around the heat tube surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube
surfaces will become red hot, burn the solid shortening, weaken the fry tank, and could result
in a re.
6. Install the basket support rack over the fry tank heat tubes.
7. To prevent burning and scorching the solid shortening, set the temperature to 200°F on dial and allow the
compound to liquefy. Add to adjust compound level.
Never attempt to melt a solid block of shortening on top of the heat tubes. Never light pilot or
turn burners on with empty tank.
OPERATING THE FRYER - PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONSOpen the fryer door assembly.
1. Turn the thermostat to OFF.
2. Press down the safety control valve and turn counterclockwise to the PILOT
position. See Figure 11-1.
3. Hold down the safety control valve for one minute to purge air from the gas supply
line.
4. While pressing the safety control valve, use a ame source to ignite the pilot. Hold
down the safety control valve for 30 seconds.
NOTE: If pilot does not stay lit when the safety control valve is released, repeat step 4
holding down the safety control valve longer. Adjustment to the pilot ame may
be necessary.
5. Once the pilot remains lit, turn the safety control valve counterclockwise to the ON
position. Make sure not to press down on the safety control valve.
6. Do not turn the thermostat “ON” until the fry tank is lled with oil or solid shortening.
7. Once the fry tank is lled with oil or solid shortening, set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The
thermostat adjusts from 200° up to 400°F.
