Electric Pressure Fryer Introduction Introduction The LPF Pressure Fryer is compact, attractive and functional in design. It is constructed of a stainless steel fryer pot for cleaning ease. Exclusive BKI patented features and safety devices offer flexibility, efficiency and reliability plus PERFECTION IN PRESSURE FRYING! The BKI name and trademark on this unit assures you of the finest in design and engineering -- that it has been built with care and dedication -- using the best materials available.
Electric Pressure Fryer Introduction Specific Precautions Lids for LPF Pressure Fryers manufactured prior to May 27, 1980 (or units with serial numbers lower than 3613) could be manually opened while under pressure resulting in serious injury or death. If you have one of these units, please contact the BKI Technical Services Department toll-free at 1-800-927-6887 for urgent update information. Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Electric Pressure Fryer Introduction Safe Work Practices Noncombustible Floors Only Make sure your floor is noncombustible. Do not operate your fryer on floors that are wood, carpeted or have rubber mats. Placing your fryer on a combustible floor could cause a fire. Serious injury could result. Examples of noncombustible floors where you can safely place your fryer are concrete, tile, and ceramic.
Electric Pressure Fryer Introduction Do Not Overfill The Fryer With Shortening Hot shortening and steam may escape and burn you if you put too much shortening in the fryer. Fill the fryer to approximately one inch below the fill marks that are inside the fryer pot. Heat the shortening. If needed, carefully add more shortening to bring the level to the fill marks. Do Not Let Any Water Get Into The Fryer Always remove excess moisture from food before placing it into the fryer basket.
Electric Pressure Fryer Introduction Wear Safe Clothing Appropriate To Your Job Always wear your insulated mitts when handling the fryer basket or touch any hot metal surfaces. You received a pair of insulated mitts with your fryer. If you lose or damage your mitts, you can buy new ones at your local restaurant equipment supply store or from your local BKI Distributor. Always wear non-skid shoes when working around the fryer or any other equipment that uses shortening.
Electric Pressure Fryer Introduction Keep Safety Labels Clean and in Good Condition Do not remove or cover any safety labels on your equipment. Keep all safety labels clean and in good condition. Replace any damaged or missing safety labels. Refer to the Safety Labels section for illustration and location of safety labels on this unit. If you need a new safety label, obtain the number of the specific label illustrated on page 8, then contact: BKI Technical Services Department P.O.

Electric Pressure Fryer Operation Operation Controls and Indicators Refer to the figure and table below for an explanation of the fryer’s controls and indicators.
Electric Pressure Fryer Item # 1 2 3 4 5 Description Spin Handle Pop Safety Valve lever Pressure Gauge Computer Rocker Switch Operation Function Used to tighten the lid to the pot once it is latched. Used to release pressure periodically to prevent the seat from sticking. Indicates the pressure inside the pot. Used to set and activate product programs. FILTER – When placed in this position, power is applied to the motor and shorting is pumped into the pot directly or thru the fill hose.
Electric Pressure Fryer Item # 8 Description ALARM button A, B, C, D preset buttons Beeper Display 9 High Limit Reset Switch 10 Drain Lever 11 12 13 Fill Lever Rinse Hose Connector Pump Motor Reset Switch Operation Function This button allows the user to set an elapsed time at which the internal alarm will sound during a cycle. The time is set by pressing and holding the ALARM button while using the UP and DOWN arrows to change the time.
Electric Pressure Fryer Operation Care of the Shortening Solid shortening should always be returned to the filter vat while in the liquid state. If this is not done, it will have to be heated to a liquid state. When using solid shortening, the fryer must be equipped with a pump heater. After filtering with solid shortening, the filter lines must be completely emptied of shortening.
Electric Pressure Fryer Operation Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke point and no additives. 3. The digital timer has a STIR OIL function that operates in one of four reconfigurable modes. If the timer needs to be reconfigured, follow step a. If the timer does not need to be reconfigured, follow step b. a. Press and hold the ALARM button and at the same time place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch in the FRY position.
Electric Pressure Fryer Operation 2. When frying chicken, lower the basket into the shortening in the fryer pot. Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when dropping chicken into pot. Carefully drop pieces of chicken into pot to prevent shortening splashes. 3. Carefully drop the chicken in the shortening one piece at a time starting with thighs and drumsticks. The fryer is designed to accommodate 32 pieces of chicken. Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in severe injury.

Electric Pressure Fryer Operation Start-Up (LPF-FC) 1. Make sure the main drain valve is closed. 2. Fill pot with shortening to about one inch below the mark. Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below the minimum oil level. The level of oil within the pot must not fall below 5mm of the maximum oil level. Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires.
Electric Pressure Fryer Operation 4. Carefully drop the chicken in the shortening one piece at a time starting with thighs and drumsticks. The fryer is designed to accommodate 32 pieces of chicken. Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in severe injury. Always use the insulated mitts when handling the hot fry basket. 5. Lift the basket and shake it. This keeps the food from sticking together and causing white spots on the cooked food.
