WARNING
The FilterQuick™ FQG30 Series gas fryer is NOT intended to use solid shortening
without a solid shortening kit. Use only liquid shortening with this fryer if a solid
shortening kit is not installed. The use of solid shortening without a solid
shortening kit will clog the top off oil lines.
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bot-
tom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. For bulk oil systems see Section 1.9.8 on
page 1-16 in the FilterQuick™ Controller Manual 819-7206 for instructions to fill the vat from
bulk.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face
of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.

3. If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds.
Repeat step 2.
4. The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF
