An electrical wiring diagram is located in the front access door of the fryer.
O P E R AT I O N OIL/SHORTENING REQUIREMENTS OIL/SHORTENING REQUIREMENTS The ASF-75G requires 73-pounds (33 kg) of oil or shortening in the frypot and the ASF-60G requires 62-pounds (28 kg) of oil or shortening. Use only quality, high-grade oil/shortening in the fryer. The high moisture content of many lower grade shortening will result in excessive foaming and boil over. The cold oil/shortening level requirement for the fryer is indicated below.

O P E R AT I O N BOIL-OUT NOTE: Perform an initial Boil-Out to clean and sanitize the fryer station before operating. Carbonized deposits along with an accumulation of oil will eventually build-up on the interior of the frypot as well as fryer accessories. It is important to periodically remove these deposits, not only to maintain fryer efficiency, but also to provide the highest product quality.
O P E R AT I O N BOIL-OUT 7. Wearing protective gloves to avoid burns, scrub the inside of the fypot with a long-handled scrub brush. 8. Attach the drain pipe and direct boil-out solution into a heat-resistant container. 9. Open the DRAIN. The handle should be rotated counterclockwise until it stops. 10. Allow the boil-out solution to completely drain. Discard boil-out solution. 11. Rotate the drain valve clockwise to the “CLOSED” position.
O P E R AT I O N S TA R T U P & G E N E R A L O P E R AT I O N DANGER BEFORE STARTING THE APPLIANCE, MAKE CERTAIN YOU DO NOT DETECT THE ODOR OF GAS. IF THE ODOR OF GAS IS DETECTED: • DO NOT attempt to light any appliance. • DO NOT touch any electrical switches. • Extinguish any open flame. • Use a telephone OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY & IMMEDIATELY contact your gas supplier. • If unable to contact your gas supplier, contact the fire department.
O P E R AT I O N CLEANING & MAINTENANCE DANGER DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING. THOROUGHLY CLEAN DAILY The cleanliness and appearance of this unit will contribute considerably to operating efficiency and savory, appetizing food. Good equipment kept clean works better and lasts longer. 1. Disconnect unit from power source, and let cool. 2. Remove all detachable items. Clean these items separately with a good grease solvent or commercial detergent. Rinse well and dry. 3.
O P E R AT I O N OIL FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS (FOR UNITS WITH INSTALLED OPTION) Careful observation of the finished food product will help determine optimal filtering frequency. Filtering the cooking oil at regular intervals will help ensure food quality. FOR BEST RESULTS: Do not allow the temperature of the oil to decrease below the “Idle Mode” temperature of 250°F (121°C) when filtering. If filtering at the end of the day, pump oil back into the kettle while still hot.
O P E R AT I O N OIL FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS (FOR UNITS WITH INSTALLED OPTION) FILTER REPLACEMENT 1. With the DRAIN in the “CLOSED” position, pull the trolley from the fryer and disconnect the hose from the fryer. Use optional trolley handle if available, or take care when pulling trolley from fryer as it has sharp edges. (Contact factory for optional trolley handle information.) 2. Pushing down on filter frame clip, pull side of filter cartridge closest to clip upwards.
O P E R AT I O N OIL FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS (FOR UNITS WITH INSTALLED OPTION) FILTER CLEANING & MAINTENANCE NOTE: Make certain to use hand protection when working with hot surfaces. REUSABLE MESH FILTER OPTION: Clean the reusable mesh filter (FI-27014) by spraying thoroughly with hot water. DO NOT clean in the dishwasher. DO NOT use detergents to clean. Detergents and detergent residues will significantly reduce the life of oil and shortening products.
O P E R AT I O N OIL FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS (FOR UNITS WITH INSTALLED OPTION) CLEANING & MAINTENANCE OIL DISCARD HOSE OPTION: The oil discard hose option (HO-27686) is available as an option to assist both the boil-out and filtration operation. With the discard hose attached to the nozzle connection, place the Kettle/Nozzle selector in the “NOZZLE ON” position. The drain can be placed in the “OPEN” or “CLOSED” position as required.
O P E R AT I O N ALL SUGGESTED FRYING TIMES ARE BASED ON A FULL LOAD OF PRODUCT Remove ice crystals and ensure that food is dry before frying. Excessive water and ice can cause oil to splatter or overflow. Do not over fill the basket. Food needs to be surrounded by oil for best frying results.
