Operation
Before Use
1. Check that the gas supply is turned on.
2. Check that no foreign articles are in the tank.
Filling the Tank(s)
NOTE: BLUE SEAL 'FAST-FRI' fryers can be used with both oil and shortening.
1. Before filling the tank, always check that the drain valve(s) behind the door is (are) closed. A
locking slide is provided on these valves and this should always be locked in position during use.
a. OIL - Carefully fill fryer tank with oil until the 'FILL-LEVEL' mark is reached.
The GT45 fryer will hold 20 litres of oil (37lbs shortening).
The GT46 fryer will hold 13 litres of oil per tank (24lbs shortening per tank).
The GT60 fryer will hold 31 litres of oil. (46.5lbs shortening).
b. SHORTENING - Ideally shortening should be pre-melted prior to putting it into the tank. This is
normally done in a suitable vessel on a boiling table burner(s). The liquefied shortening can then
be poured into the tank until it reaches the 'FILL LEVEL' mark.
When pre-melting shortening, only heat until the shortening is just liquefied. Do not bring
up to high temperature as handling of hot shortening is dangerous.
If pre-melting of shortening is not possible then the shortening should be cut in pieces and
packed down into the tank.
Bringing the shortening up to frying temperature, when not pre-melting, should be done in
two stages.
